DVD-driven Apologetics curriculum for kids? (similar to Truth Project)

[Debbie in OR]

Our family just finished going through the Truth Project in our home group and while our kids (ds11 and dd9) sat in with us, much of it was over their heads. But there was some of it they got and were excited about.

 

So, I would like to do something similar with them this next school year but on their level. I have looked at Answers in Genesis and was a bit overwhelmed as there is a lot of material to choose from.

 

Anyone have recommendations? Thanks!

Adventures in Odyssey has a series of shows based on the Truth Project. The series is called Truth Chronicles. It's good, but not as in depth as I had hoped.

We did buy the AiO set as well and I agree, it's not as meaty as I thought it would be. But thank you for posting it!

 

Bumping....anyone else? :001_smile:

Not really Apologetics, but a great resource for sharing your faith and being able to articulate very simply. Try Way of the Master. You can see videos on line on how they can talk to anyone in any situation about God's standards and man's failure to meet those via the 10 commandments. We saw this about 4 years ago and are hooked. I bought their TV program's 3 Series when it was on sale in December at $29 each (13 segments per series).
