Inspiring and engaging!
We had a chance to preview a few of these on amazon prime before forking out the big bucks to buy the whole set. Well worth the money! My 5 & 8 yo boys love these. Very inspiring even to me as an adult! My 5 yo (almost 6) might be a smidge too young but he still likes. They can be a little intense at times, emotionally, as some of the stories end in death (ie Jim Elliot). But a little heartfelt conversation about it and he's perfectly fine. I think it's actually helped him be more understanding about the harder things in life in general. We only have 3 left to watch. Great item for children's church/vbs. Should be a part of every family's arsenal of faith movies! As a movie buff, I recognize that the animation is a little lower budget (but certainly not bad!), however the storylines make me forget. We are always left with a real sense of God on the move from these stories.

Awesome videos for the whole family
Our whole family enjoys watching these together. They are so well done and historically accurate. Not too long for younger kids, but packed with action and realistic characters and scenes to hold the attention of older kids, teens, and even adults. We watch them over and over.

I love the content but was misled by the packaging
I love the content but was misled by the packaging. 12 of the discs came in a combined case. I was hoping for individual cases and actually bought this one just for that. Would have kept looking if I had known.

These videos are a must if you are a Christian ...
These videos are a must if you are a Christian and want your children and grandchildren to know and learn the history of men and women who gave their time, fortunes, and in some instances their lives to further the gospel of Jesus, the Messiah.

Wonderful Cartoon Series on Heros of the F
Our boys (ages 7-12) love this set of DVDs! I hope they make more! It's great to have some quality kids' videos about Heros of the Christian faith that aren't necessarily in the Bible. It also tastefully shows how some have suffered greatly for their faith which I think is a good thing for young people to know and be inspired by.

The DVD packaging is not as pictured.
The picture showed that the DVDs would come in DVD cases, however 10 of the DVDs came in a single sleeve. It is not usable for my purposes. I needed them in individual boxes and there was no indication on the product description of this.

Enriching!
These DVD's have blessed me and my family. I especially appreciate the accuracy and appropriateness of the handling of the material. One can only be enriched by viewing and sharing these films with others.
