I grew up with these on VHS. VHS! The Daniel one always scared me a bit. But I loved them. And it's not because they have a character named Derek in it. Seriously, though, it's a great series that gives honor to God. It's a fun show and should be watched.

I watched these as a kid. I loved them! I even still have one of the original VHS tapes! I lost most over the years, moving around or damaged. Now, I can share them with my daughter. These are truly some amazing stories!

I'm so blessed to watch this with my child. It's a miracle that such a famous company made these back in the 80's.
