👎 Skip It
Twenty-five Bible stories in about 90 minutes, each capped with a discussion question, makes this feel more like a family devotional companion than a straight listen — a nice structural touch for parents wanting to talk through Christmas with their kids. Author Laura Richie narrating her own material is likely worth the listen for matching intent to delivery, though the individual stories are necessarily brief given the runtime.
