A while back, I was searching for the name of the Bible story series on cassette tapes that I listened to as a child. Though I had a nice, encased 12-cassette set, sadly, not one of them made it to present day. I listened to sound clips online, scouted bookstores, wrote letters to various broadcast & publication organizations, and began to give up hope….until I stumbled across Your Story Hour’s site.
Though their company name didn’t ring a bell at first, it became apparent really quick that these were the dramatized Bible stories I’d been searching for. Unchanged! Unabridged! And now on CD!
One brief sound clip from the beginning of an episode allowed me to hear the distantly familiar voices of “Aunt Carole” and “Uncle Dan.” Now…how could I obtain these treasured audiobooks for my two children to grow up with and enjoy?
I was delighted to learn that Your Story Hour offers a mail-order program for kids. By completing Adventures in the Holy Bible quizzes based on Bible stories sent straight to your mailbox, your kids can earn each and every one of Your Story Hour’s Life of Jesus CDs. Free! You can read all about the program here.
The quizzes are a bit over my children’s heads, but we usually do them together….me reading the story and asking them the review questions, then writing down the answers. We’ve earned six of these CDs so far this year. When all of them are earned, they’ll send a special keepsake binder to house them all.
Of course, Your Story Hour readily accepts donations — and all of their complete CD series can be purchased via their website or other online retailers such as ChristianBook.com.
(Helpful for homeschooling are their Great Stories and Adventures in life volumes, which dramatize the life stories of notable figures in history as well as tell stories for teaching morals and virtues.)
Your Story Hour Adventures in the Holy Bible program is certainly a valuable resource….worth every minute of work required….and worth far more than the cost (free).
