Bible Resources Reviews:
First of the Fun Stuff From the
"Star Family Singers":
Wow, the other day we were so excited and blessed to receive a big box
of Christ-centered fun goodies from the Star Family Singers! We'd seen
several of these items offered on their website, (and some on their
show on the Christian Television Network",) and we were intrigued and
hopeful their stuff would help our family (and others!) learn more
about the Lord and Hide Him in our Hearts. (Just like their television
show does. We have Dish Satellite and find it on Channel 267, so if you
have a different provider ask them where to find it!)
Anyhow, their gift of enabling us to review their products feels like such a treasure we're so thankful for!
"Hide The Word In Your Heart Club":
The Star Family Singers have a free club in which kids and adults alike
can earn fun button badges by memorizing verses from the bible. You can
participate by mail or online.
To help with the verse
memorization, of course you could simply use your bible. But the Star
Family offers a Memory Booklet along with a cd disc for the main 12
verses they suggest be learned. (and more) It has a low-priced
suggested donation too!
While simply laid out, it's a definite help in someone's search for being close to Jesus. How? Here are some ways:
-
Kids or adults can listen to the vocals while playing or working or
eating breakfast or napping or whatever. Sometimes hearing stuff over
and over again in the background sinks it into our memories better.
- Reading the verses while listening at the same time is another good form of memorization. Great project for homeschoolers!
-
This is a great way for kids to learn to read along or for even young
kids to learn to read from the get-go, too! That's how kids learned to
read in the "old days" -- from the bible, which was often the only book
a household would own!) It's so inexpensive, too. There's also a "How
To Start A Hide The Word In your Heart Club" booklet. My boys started
one immediately with a friend who is totally unaware of Jesus and the
bible. Woohoo!
- Motivation: Besides pleasing God and
helping ourselves, my kids enjoy learning verses all the more because
of the added fun incentive, of course, of the goal of earning badges.
(Especially fun for those of us in the middle of nowhere who can't get
to a Boy Scout or Awana group.) Some might want to turn this into a
friendly competition, such as who can earn more badges first.
If
you'd like to order a copy of the "Hide the Word in Your Heart Club"
set, go to their website at www.heartclub.com and press on "catalog"
(It's near the bottom of the first page.)
Happy verse
learning and badge earning! I'll review more wonderful Star Family
Singers (and many other products including a homeschooling book by The
Old Schoolhouse,) next time. Have a blessed day!
