Veggie Tales: Abe & the Amazing Promise |
Veggie Tales: Abe & the Amazing Promise
Big Idea
Veggie Tales are religious based children's dvds.
This VeggieTales is the Bible story of Abraham and Sarah; a lesson in patience. The story of the wait of Abraham and Sarah to have a child. As Pa is telling the story Junior tries to rush him through it, illustrating the point of patience. The Veggies share how rushing through things can cause big problems.
This VeggieTales set up is different than the others. The story of Abraham is told, then the silly song break, and another story, "Blunders in Boo-Boo-Ville", that illustrates the concept of patience.
A trait that most struggle with--rushing through things. A good message with silly songs is a winning combination. |
