New VeggieTales Movie!

This house is a Veggie Tales house. Big and small, we love them all! My husband started the obsession years ago when he brought home Dave and Giant Pickle. I didn't get it, but he was laying on the floor with the kids laughing. Now we all love the strange humor and the lessons. Many times we have brought up situations on Veggie Tale movies to help the kids through something. (especially the song "God is bigger than the boogie man")

The newest addition, Abe and the Amazing Promise, is available today in Christian book stores! It will be available in other stores February 10.

A lesson in Patience is the theme. And it is a lesson, all right. Watching the first story tried my patience endlessly, LOL! Bob was trying to interview Abe and Sarah about their long awaited promise of a baby. They were endlessly interrupted by spitting camels, an impatient boy wanting his cookies, whiny camera crew, and a crazy nurse. Wow! The lesson was that if you trust God with what He says, you can wait patiently for it. Or trust what your mom says, for that matter! It was a good story, and I love the story of Abe and Sarah waiting on a promised baby!

The silly song, Sneeze if You Need To, did not do it for me. I normally love the silly song, but this one was nothing to sneeze at. (pun intended)

I liked the second part of the video a lot. The Blunders in Boo-Booville was funny, and it taught about patience in a fun way. I think it also taught some good lessons on friendship. That was my favorite part of the new movie.

We had a great time watching Abe and the Amazing Promise together as a family. I enjoy hearing the kids burst out laughing at the slapstick stuff. This movie is great family entertainment.

If you purchase both the Abe and the Amazing Promise DVD and The VeggieTales Bible you can receive a $10 rebate by mail with proof of purchase.

Abe and the Amazing Promise Synopsis:
Bob the Tomato tries to bring the Bible story of Abraham and Sarah and their wait for a promised son to life, but when spitting camels and a film crew of zany French peas get involved, everyone’s patience is tested! Will Bob pull everything together in time to teach a lesson? Whether they’re waiting on a promise from God or cookies from mom, kids will learn that while being patient is never easy, the reward is always worth the wait!

The DVD also features the musical “misadventures” of Blunders in Boo-Boo-Ville where Jacques (Larry the Cucumber) attempts to invent a way to bring back the boo-boo birds and discovers that taking time to do things the right way is the best way!
