I just want to put my two cents in on the value of God of Wonders. My 7 month old has been listening to the Praise Baby CDs since he was a newborn. He is absolutely enthralled by both the God of Wonders DVD and the Praises and Smiles DVD. The music and imagery are beautiful on both. My son particularly loves the images of children playing. He recognizes all the songs already which I think has provided a wonderful foundation for his future spiritual development.

Loving this DVD! I picked it up for my 19 month old daughter after really enjoying the first of the "Praise Baby" DVDs, and evidently we've hit gold again.

My daughter is a sweet child, but NOT a cuddler, yet she'll sit down and snuggle with me while we watch the show together. If for nothing else, I'll give it 5 stars just for that reason alone!

She points to the visuals, particularly the babies and children and babbles at me in her gobbledy-gook language, and we have a great time just sitting, listening, singing, talking, and spending time together while praising God. Couldn't ask for a better moment in life! I find it helpful, particularly when she's too wound up and it's time to settle down for bed.

Now, while I love the visuals (simple, clean, fun) and the music (wonderful vocalist...very nice kid's choir and music, none of which gets on my nerves)...the video has little to offer of direct instructional value (ala Baby Einstein, or Baby Faith's God Made Me, etc).

However, as it shows children playing joyfully and matches that to great praise music aimed at the very young, I'm very pleased with the purchase, and hope the board books they offer are a preview of future DVDs in the works!!!

I have a 5 month old for whom I have purchased several Baby Einstein, Baby Faith, and Baby Praise DVDs. While I would consider all of the ones that I own to be good and have merit, this DVD is the best of the bunch. It captivates him more than any other. Personally, I enjoy watching it myself. This DVD teaches him contemporary and traditional Christian music with stimulating sights that will help him learn perspectives. If you only buy one, this is it -- hands down the best of the "baby" DVDs, and you'll enjoy it yourself.

My 8 month old never watches t.v., but when I put this DVD in she was captivated. I was very reluctant to let her start watching t.v., but the slow moving screen and praise songs convinced me. I feel like I have the radio on and she is learning at such a young age to praise the Lord. This is a great product.

This is the second Praise Baby DVD that we have purchased. Our 17 month old daughter loves these DVDs! In fact, all our kids, ages 9 years to 17 months, enjoy these DVDs. The songs are so uplifting and the pictures are very interesting to little ones and adults alike! This DVD has some songs that I have never heard before as well as many old favorites. I highly recommend this as being a good thing for your baby and for your family.

Not being a fan of TV watching for babies, it took me a long time to actually use this DVD. I wish that I put it on earlier! My baby is 9 months old and has been captivated by this video for the last few months. NOTHING distracts her when she watches it, and the praise music certainly calms her down. Baby Einstein videos are more fast-paced, but my baby can't follow the multiple images. Plus, I'm not sure that the fast pace is healthy for babies. The Praise Baby DVDs use "real life" videos of animals, babies, toys, and other images which are more captivating than the "slide show" technique of showing pictures of animals that Baby Einstein uses on some of their videos. Many babies are facinated by watching other babies, and the Praise Baby collection offers plenty of "baby watching" time! I highly recommend this video, especially for times that you want your baby to calm down and relax.

UPDATE: Still love the DVD...what I forgot to mention earlier is the music. Listening to cartoons or Barney can get annoying, but it's so great to turn on this DVD and only hear praise music throughout my house. Calms the baby and the mom! :)

Our 13 month old son LOVES this DVD! He doesn't watch TV at home, but on long car rides, we'll pop this in as a treat. The music is beautiful. My husband and I enjoy listening to it as he enjoys the visuals as well. The images are mostly "real" kids, nature scenes, and animals. We received this as a gift and have loved it! This is a great alternative to the Einstein videos if you're looking for one with Christian music. We've just purchased the other two for a little variety. :)

My wife and I use this DVD and a way to relax our WILD 18 month old son and to start calming him down at the end of the day. This DVD truely put's him at peace, at least while the DVD is on, and the sweet music is truely something that we don't mind listening to almost every day. Our son watches this DVD intently and says "baby!"..."baby!" as he loves to watch the other children in the video.

My 14-month old twins have been watching this DVD since they were about 9 months old and they love it! They have not gotten tired of it at all. The familiar worship music is great for them (and me!) to listen to and really helps create an atmosphere of peace and worship in our home. The images are stimulating for them (nature scenes, babies & kids, toys, animals, etc.) My children sometimes cry or get upset watching Baby Einstein or Brainy Baby, but this has NEVER happened with any Praise Baby videos. This was the first one we purchased and it has prompted us to buy several more. While this video often holds their attention for the entire length (about 30 minutes), there are other times when they'll play with toys or look at books while the music plays in the background. Either way, it's so helpful for me to have a few minutes to clean up, prepare meals, etc., while still feeling like my boys are being blessed and edified.

Like all the Praise Baby DVDs, the special features allow you to choose whether you want to listen to children or adults singing, which is a nice option to have. We love Praise Baby! Next we need to check out the books and CDs!

This is the second Praise Baby DVD that my 7 month old daughter has. The first was given to her as a gift given before she was born. We have been watching both of these videos for about a month now and she loves them. The pictures on the video are exactly what she loves to watch: children and babies playing, animals, colors, etc. I am so glad there are videos made for younger children that expose them to God's love and creation. The music on the DVD's are soothing (it is a great tool to calm her before her nap, and it works every time!) and it exposes her to praise and worship music outside of church. I would recommend these videos to any parent of toddlers or babies.
