CBH: Seasons of Faith stories - review

When I was growing up in the 1970s the only "media" my siblings and I had unlimited access to was books. We grew up without a TV, and of course, there were no computers at that time... so we read. A lot! I was probably 11 or 12 when we discovered a weekly radio show for kids: Children's Bible Hour. We eagerly looked forward to the program each week. The music was great, the stories were the best, and "Uncle Charlie" was our personal friend! One of my sisters and I even completed their correspondence Bible study course. I still have my completion certificate in my scrapbook!

All these years later, Children's Bible Hour is still around and still producing quality programs. My children have enjoyed the current program, "Down Gilead Lane," for several years.

As a member of the TOS Homeschool Crew I had the opportunity to review CBH's new Seasons of Faith picture books. "The Seasons of Faith illustrated books encourage children to learn about their faith in God. Based on CBH Ministries’ treasure trove of radio scripts, these stories teach core truths of the Bible so that kids can easily apply them to their lives. Each book focuses on a season of faith-developing topics." 

Each softcover picture book comes with a CD of "Uncle Charlie" reading the story. I thought the stories might be a little young for my children, but my 14-year-old daughter said they were "just right." Each book-and-CD set is $10. Great read-alongs!
