According to their website, Bible Story Songs started fifteen years ago when two moms were looking for a fresh way to teach Bible stories at a children's camp. Using old camp tunes, they rewrote them to tell stories from the Bible and discovered that children remember more when they sing. These two moms are now grandmothers and have written over 300 songs. I received the CD, David, which contains thirty-one songs. This provides over an hour of music. Sheet music, song books, puzzle pages, and the like are also available to compliment the CD. The songs are all sung by children with simple piano accompaniment.
I admire the thought process behind these Cd's. I agree that lyrics put to music are much easier to remember than simple spoken facts or even stories. There is something about music that stays with us and we may find ourselves singing a song we learned as a child with little provocation. However, our family just did not enjoy this style of music. These are old fashioned camp type tunes that reminded me of a toddler Sunday School class. Perhaps that age group would love these, perhaps your family would love these, and thankfully you can decide for yourself! There are sample clips available to listen to HERE.
Bible Story Songs: David is available for $9.99. There are other Cd's available as well, including The Bible, Moses, and Matthew. Whatever your choice of music, hiding God's Word in your heart is always a benefit!
