 Rating:  - Wonderful re-tellings of important storiesThis was our first Jim Weiss tape (CD) and is still, many years later, one of our favorites. As the unhappy critic below notes, these are tellings not readings, but Weiss makes that clear ("I imagine him sitting..."). Noah and the Arc is our favorite, but Abraham and the Idols is a good one for these times, and our girls loved both Ruth and Naomi and Esther. Highly, highly recommended. As is just about everything else Weiss does! Rating:  - I didn't want my children to listen to this oneIn converting Old Testament stories to narrative form, Mr. Weiss adds quite a bit of editorializing, which in my opinion alters significantly the action and meaning of the text. We may certainly have our own opinions about why people did things, but to insert them as part of a storyline for children, who tend to take as accurate the first version of a story they hear, is a mistake. Keep it simple & true to the text, would be my first request of any biblical narrative. Rating: - This is the best.My 7-year-old daughter loves this tape. Each story is about ten minutes - enough for a short car ride. She remembers everything the narrator says. Worth every penny. |
