Heroes of the Bible: Children's Bible Stories
Stephen Johnston · 2024
🎙 Narrated by Stephen Johnston (full-cast/multicast production)
61/100
👎 Skip It
A full-cast dramatization spanning Joseph to the resurrection is an ambitious swing for a kids' collection, and pairing it with Emmy-winning narrator Stephen Johnston is a good sign for engagement. I just don't have independent reviews to know how it actually lands, so this is a promising but unproven pick — the dramatized format is likely worth the listen, though I can't say so with full confidence.
