we gave them a few yrs ago, you not only see the words but hear them read
aloud also.
Our daughter in law said they were playing the DVD of the Bible last night,
and from time to time they paused it. Their little (just turned 4 yr old) son
was playing on the floor. She said they didn't expect his attention span to
be very long. But three times they paused the sound, he immediately said,
"Don't turn it off!".
If a DVD reading the Bible can interest a little 4 yr. old, what should it do for
our teenagers. If we wait until they are older, they may not be interested as
the world desires to pull our young people into its mold.We must be wise as
serpents and harmless as doves!

We shouldn't attempt to "assume" what little children like and don't like and what will or will not hold their attention.
A number of years ago I heard Roger Ebert (the movie critic) talking about being at a families house for a holiday and a silent movie happened to be on the television in the corner. He was amazed that the kids were completely transfixed by it since he thought they would be incapable (INCONCEIVABLE! as Hoovie would say) of watching since they are exposed daily to computer generated cartoons, video games, technology, and flashing everything. But there they were watching some black and white silent
romance -it wasn't even comedy!
