Bible DVD for ALL Ages

The new DVD series coming out from JellyTelly is great for ALL ages...
- little kids will love the characters and colors
- bigger kids will enjoy the voices and songs
- even bigger kids will learn a lot and laugh a bunch
- ALL ages will learn a lot!

What cd be better than Church history taught by a pirate?

What's in the Bible?

I was privileged enough to get a sneak preview copy of Phil Vischer's (creator of VeggieTales) new project.


It's a 13-part DVD series called "What's in the Bible?" and I can't tell you how excited I was to get and view the DVD w/ my kids.


Not only is it a great idea, but also amazingly well produced w/ humor, information, sensitivity and insight. Home run, Phil!


I encourage you to visit their website for more info: http://www.jellytelly.com/ and to pick up the first DVD when it's out next month!


God bless,
Bear

Booples Book Featured

The Booples! book is featured here for Friendship week!

FaceBook note

By a Booples! viewer on FaceBook...

As a mommy of three young boys ages ranging up to 5, i have been exposed to every kind of children's programming imaginable. we have gone through elmo, wiggles, oobie, blue's clues; all talking bears, chipmunks, and veggies. we have done ralph's world, lori berkner, all things nick, noggin, disney and pbs. but rare is the find that truly inspires and teaches and reaches all ages. Booples is such a find. it is, in its simplicity, perfect. the shows are short, to the point, and biblically based. each episode teaches a basic principle with brightly colored animation and ear-catching tunes. my 2 year old did not lose focus and wander off half-way through the video. the songs are easy to learn and children do not even realize they are memorizing scripture! i think what makes it so special though is its creator, bear cahill. he is not mass producing these in an effort to become rich and famous (although he probably wouldn't mind!). There is no huge production budget. it truly seems like a grass roots kind of thing. he works on them when he can and as God supplies the means. i wanted to share Booples with you other mothers because i think they are great. they don't cost a lot and they are well worth the money. if our kids are going to watch videos over and over again, shouldn't we be filling them with spirit-nourishing things? and wouldn't it be better to support a brother in the Lord in his mission to share the gospel in a fun and animated way rather than only feeding the Disney machine?
check out their website and let me know what you think. he also has a booples group on facebook!

How great is that? :) Praise God!

Merry Christmas

Just a quick note to say Merry Christmas and though I need to hear this more than most, please try to keep the focus on Christ's birth.

Again, I'm the worst about running around, losing focus and generally making Christmas anything but Jesus's birthday celebration. So let's all encourage one another to celebrate God's Son's birth and the coming of our salvation in the manger.

Please pray that I do the same.

God bless.

Booples book illustrator

I wanted to post a link to the Booples book illustrator: Kevin Collier.

He's a great guy w/ a lot of talent! I think he did a great job on the book. Check out his other work on his site!

Booples children's book!

The new Booples! children's book is coming! I have the proof now and am going over it. To the left is a sample image from a page of the book.

The illustrator, Kevin Collier, did a great job transferring the Booples to book form, didn't he?

TWO new Booples DVDs!!!

Hi!

I also launched TWO new Booples DVDs today. Check them out here! The TWO DVDs are...

1. "Booples 3: The Silly Truth!" - 3 new stories w/ 3 new songs.

and 2. "Booples: The Songs!" - 10 song videos for all the Booples videos to date!

JellyTelly is live!

Phil Vischer (of VeggieTales) has a new kids' online network called JellyTelly and it just went live today!!!



It has a variety of kids' show w/ animation, puppets, people, kids, etc. There's new content/show every day.

I'm additionally excited b/c a bumper I did for them made it in the programming. The 'bubbles' bumper in Tuesday's show is mine (and the voice is my oldest son).

Check it out!

Greetings from South Korea

No, not from me. I'm still in the US, but I got this comment from the website today and thought I'd share it:

"Thank you Thank you. My wife and I teach children in South Korea on Sat nites that come to our house to learn English..but we are using it as an opportunity to teach them about Jesus."

It's awesome to see how God uses us all in ways we don't expect - even using Booples in South Korea!

Booples on Amazon!

I just finished setting up a deal via CreateSpace that will allow Booples videos to be sold via CreateSpace and Amazon as DVDs and digital downloads. Amazon downloads (Unbox) are to TiVo's.

This is very exciting and the videos should be listed on their sites in the next couple of weeks!!!

Exceptional things for God

From "My Utmost for His Highest" today...

It is ingrained in us that we have to do exceptional things for God—but we do not. We have to be exceptional in the ordinary things of life, and holy on the ordinary streets, among ordinary people—and this is not learned in five minutes.

We always want to make it about some great act, accomplishment, deed, etc. but first He just wants us to walk with Him.

To me, that's freeing.

Booples at Seguin again!

The Booples video "Everything without Complaining" was selected as a finalist in the Seguin Film Fest.

This is the third year for Booples to be in the Seguin film festival. In 2007, "Jonah and the Tarshish Fish" won Best Animation and Fourth place overall!

The festival takes place this weekend, Oct 24-26.

Booples now on SkyAngel VOD

Press Release: Booples videos now available on SkyAngel VOD

Booples is now available on SkyAngel VOD!!!

This has been in the works for a while and it's being viewed already!!!

Just wanted to share the good news!!!

Robin Hood

Reading about the blackjack player that's going to help some random folks out is fairly inspiring. (see http://robinhood702.com/).

However, it's sad that this isn't the church or something else doing this...  I guess there's a lot of sides to this...

1. It's 'sensational' so it gets news - you don't hear about the local soup kitchen doing good every day.
2. It's about debt - hot topic.
3. It's wild - gambling!

Also, the church tends to try more rehab type solutions: don't just pay off their debt, teach them to be good stewards of their money. Programs like Financial Peace University and such are amazing in their long term effects.

On the flip side, I've read that around 90% of people coming into sudden wealth (e.g., lottery winners) are WORSE off w/in 1 year.

Just some thoughts... no real solid point here.

On the Booples front...

- I'm working on finalizing deals with several download based sites
- the Booples children's book is moving along (everything is w/ the publisher!)
- one more video ("Love Your Neighbor") and I'll release the 3rd DVD!

God bless!
Bear
