Have you seen those Capital One credit card commercials that ask “What’s in your wallet?” Capital One is trying to make you think that you need to open your wallet and ensure that you have one of their credit cards otherwise a group of rowdy Vikings will come plundering through your home. The commercial is a great visual impression to leave on an adult’s mind. What kind of impression is being set on today’s youth? What messages are they receiving from a media obsessed society? A person inspiring our youth into a positive and moral change is Phil Vischer, creator of “What’s In The Bible?”
Many parents and families will know Phil Vischer as the dynamic creator of VeggieTales. VeggieTales, the groundbreaking Christian cartoon that showcased the breakout stars of Larry the Cucumber and Bob the Tomato. One of the reasons Phil has created “What’s In The Bible?” is to answer the call placed in his heart to help today’s youth. Many children of this generation not only do not know what is inside a bible, but stop going to church all together once they reach their teen years. This new 13 DVD-series is slated to take viewers through each book of the Bible!
Sponsored by Tyndale House Publishers, I was able to preview the first two “What’s In The Bible?” episodes, In the Beginning and Let My People Go. The episodes are educational while being humorous simultaneously, a gift that Phil Vischer has perfected on all of his series.
“What’s In The Bible?” features a cast of characters that truly range from the comedy club to the church. Buck Denver is the “CNN” type news host; Clive and Evan are the smart & not so smart safari adventure brothers; Chuck Wagon is the honky-tonk country singer; Sunday School Lady is the all-knowing Sunday school teacher; and there is Winifred and Agnes, the American Idol type judges critiquing the show.
The series captures the attention and explains the main themes in each of the book of the Bible in a concise and fun manner. Children and adults alike will love this series. This will be a great resource for homes, churches, and youth organizations to share and understand the Bible!
As a special gift, Tyndale House Publishers & Phil Vischer, have offered two gift certificates for In the Beginning and Let My People Go, one for a free copy of each DVD! TWO lucky readers of this site will receive a gift certificate for In The Beginning & another reader will win a gift certificate for Let My People Go.

WHAT A GREAT GIVEAWAY! My family are fans of the VeggieTales series and I after viewing the website and video trailer, I can see we will be new fans of “What’s In The Bible?”
This will be very helpful in explaining the bible to my children. Thanks for posting this!
Any opportunity to have the children learn about the Bible and it be a fun learning experience is a wonderful thing. I appreciate Phil Vischer creating another series that meets the needs of other families looking for help with their children.

Joscelyn, you always create such great articles, posting, and information on this website and the Examiner.com site. Congrats with everything you do. You are a talented writer.

LOL!!!
Bah! best quote from the video “…and the cows fell with a thud…” Fun! The videos sound like they would be interesting to watch, and my 11-yr-old was smiling during it (so that gives it an additional thumbs up). I’d really be interested in showing these to my Girl Scouts working on their religious awards. It would take their religious ed lessons down a notch, to a more ‘entertaining’ level, rather than being constant lecture. Thanks for the heads up!

I love this site! After your review for the Dyson cleaner, my hubby & I went out and bought one. We love it! You have really good reviews and information that are helpful for all families, including families of multiples. My grade school aged children would love the WITB series. It really seems to put the Bible in their terms and its fun for the whole family to watch. I’m a fan and subscriber.

These are kind of programs that should be on major networks instead of the violent shows they air for “children”. We are excited to watch “What’s In The Bible? with Buck Denver in our family.
