video - Favorite Stories from the Bible
Welcome to my small contribution to the fight against Biblical illiteracy! Now Available In Downloadable Windows Media Versions! Book-and-Record Sets were one of the great escapes of my childhood. Before CD-ROMs, DVDs, or even video games, book-and-record sets were the ultimate source of interactive multimedia entertainment (not to mention reading skill-building) for children growing up in the 70s. One set in particular, Peter Pan Records' Favorite Stories from the Bible, was not only my all-time favorite, but an invaluable component of my early Biblical education. The voices, the sounds, the artwork, and especially the music made the stories come alive for me in a way that nothing else could. The stories themselves are simplified versions of the Biblical narratives, but not dumbed-down or sugar-coated for kids the way one might expect. The overall presentation, therefore, earned my respect early on. Much like the common observation often expressed about kindergarten, I feel like everything I needed to know about the great stories of the Bible I learned from this double LP set! The purpose of this page is to bring this material, long out of print, to a new audience and share not only the stories themselves, but a little bit of the nostalgia and experience of sitting alone as a child, reading along with the stories, looking at the colorful pictures, and listening to the records. In my opinion, this set should be remastered and rereleased on CD, DVD or some other medium. Until that happens, these videos will hopefully serve as the next best thing. There will eventually be 23 episodes, which I will post as I finish them. Enjoy!
Please note, it is not my intention to take credit or infringe upon any copyrights by posting this material. As far as I can tell, Peter Pan Records and Danmar International no longer exist, and this book-and-record set is no longer commercially available. Even so, I have included the copyright information at the end of each video. I would hope that these videos would be taken as a tribute, rather than an infringement, but I will gladly remove these videos should it become legally necessary. |
