Focus on the Family does it again...they have created yet an awesome audio adventure using the characters from Odyssey. This set includes stories that pertain to a worldview founded on Biblical truth. Issues such as the Trinity and idol worship are discussed. Wooten includes a story about his latest superhero. My favorite was the CD in the set that includes an audio drama of America's history, including the Pilgrims and their voyage to America in search of freedom. Sadly, in many of today's textbooks, America's Christian heritage is left out. Not so with Adventures in Odyssey. The truth, whether in our heritage or in the Trinity is expressed in a way that makes it easy for children to understand. There is also a Discussion Guide included. As we have found with all Adventures in Odyssey CDs, they are wonderful for the entire family and make the miles go by much quicker.Reviewed by Penny Zeller, author of "77 Ways Your Family Can Make a Difference."
After going through the Truth Project this summer, I found this amazing collection from Adventures i Odyssey. My kids LOVE the Kidsboro story the best, but we've listened to each of the stories in the car and in the kitchen several times over. My son knows most of the scripts by heart, yet continues to put them on when given the opportunity to listen.
We have been listening to Adventures in Odyssey for years as a family and find them great for long car journeys. This latest CD series is an excellent introduction to Worldview and the Truth Project not just for children.
Another great product from Focus on the Family and Adventures in Odyssey. Some of the characters are regular AIO characters, others are new, especially for this series. The episodes are fun to listen too, but also thought-provoking. The set included a discussion guide which would be great for parents and kids to go through together. Definitely worth buying!
I bought this for my seven year old son to listen to as we commute back and forth each day. He LOVES them and immediatetly asks for them the minute we reach the car.I originally thought the cds were about being truthful, when actually they teach about Gods word as being the absolute truth vs the worlds truth. I was thrilled because they provide such great examples of some of the life struggles we are presently going through.As a parent trying to teach Godly morals and values, it can be tough to put these concepts into terms they can understand. This was the perfect tool to open up some great conversation. I stop the cd and re explain any concepts that are a little too complex for him.We've owned the cds for 2 weeks now and are already on our 3rd time through. I actually enjoy listening to them as well and have even learned a few things myself! :)We are already looking forward to purchasing another cd series. Great buy!!
We first heard this series a few years ago and the Kidsboro story absolutely mesmerized them. They spent all last Summer building Kidsboro in our woods and still talk about it. I bought the book for them for Christmas so that we could extend the adventure since they haven't done any more audio adventures featuring the town. The whole set is on rotation in our car. I especially like to play the Pilgrim's voyage story (Stepping Stones Pt 1 and 2) near Thanksgiving. I count it as a history lesson for our homeschool study and it's well-done and engaging. My kids are well under the 8-12 target audience range and Adventures in Odyssey CD's are the most requested item when we go to the library.
These are the best Odyssey episodes we've listened to thus far. The story about the Pilgrims coming to America is outstanding! We sat in the car for more than 10 minutes to finish up the episode because we couldn't wait to hear what happens next.This is well worth purchasing!
This is another great Odyssey series! Focus on the Family never disappoints with their recordings. This will keep your children entertained for hours while teaching them important truth principles. This item is well worth the investment!
