Sorry, I don't think that this videos has really quite got it! I was disappointed with the quality of the recording - the children's voices are not in time with the actual music being played and there is a very home video feel to the collection. The children are also very trite and didn't really appeal to inner city children to whom I would want to show it. The Christian life is portrayed as a nicey nice hallelujah time, when often in reality it is far from this. Some of the songs are worth a second listen but many are very old and outdated and I personally would not dream of resurrecting them in our Sunday School work. For example, "Joy Joy Joy" and "I'm In The Lord's Army" - very good in their day but not in the '90s I'm afraid. Momentarily my own children appeared to be enthralled on first viewing. I could not interest them in watching them a second time though.
