 The Animated Short Film: Featuring beautifully animated illustrations adapted from the book, The Biggest Story: The Animated Short Film will captivate children and parents alike as they see how all the classic stories in the Bible connect to Scripture’s overarching message about God’s glorious plan to redeem his rebellious people.

 The Audio Book: This audio book of The Biggest Story—written and narrated also by the best-selling author Kevin DeYoung—leads kids and parents alike on an exciting journey through the Bible, connecting the dots from the garden of Eden to Christ's death on the cross to the new heaven and new earth.





How do you share the Word with kids, specifically the middle grade and teen ages? As a booknerd and former Sunday School teacher, I'm always looking at new books that would be great in sharing the various wonderful Bible stories with the younger generation. Kevin DeYoung's The Biggest Story grasp the understanding of kids' short attention span, as well as the older kids' interest in more than cartoons as the only visual element.

Reverend DeYoung's narration of The Biggest Story presents an abbreviated glimpse of some of the major stories in the Bible. From the fall of man in the Garden of Eden to the full redemption of Jesus Christ's resurrection, The Biggest Story is about the biggest story. With just under 30 minutes, the audiobook and short film fits great for a car ride or an afternoon TV time. For those that don't know the Bible, questions will arise. For those that knows it, a nice little "summary" as a refresher and both scenarios works for additional time for discussions.   The artwork by Don Clark shown in the animated short film will capture kids' attention with the vivid colors and composition that induce imagination. Along with the narration, the visualization created will be sure to  make this short film a family favorite.

The Biggest Story is not meant to replace the Bible itself, nor be a "cliff notes" version of the Bible, but rather a stepping stone to prompt the desire to know more. With encouragement by adults in the family, the sharing of this story will make the reading, hearing and watching of The Biggest Story a way to inspire the love and search of the true Word.
