Goodmorning Rachel,
I think it depends on how old your dc are. Jim Weiss is a great story teller so SOW seems more “alive” when he reads it. However, you’re right, there are no biblical tie-ins. My 8yo likes to listen to SOW but my 13yo gets bored with it and would much rather listen to Diana Waring. Remember, though, that she is not telling stories as much as biblical & historical accounts that “tie-in”. IMO the content in Dianas CD’s are geared for older dc (maybe 10 & up) and adults. However, younger ones could still benefit but may not grasp as much.
Diana is an absolute joy to listen to, we have learned so much from her and are amazed at how she brings history and the Bible together in a way that makes sense. One thing we’ve noticed is after listening to her, there is always something that sparks discussion. Days after listening we’ll still be talking about history and bible. I can honestly say that SOW has never sparked discussion. “What in the World” and “True Tales” CDs have really gotten our family to “think” and weigh biblical truth; this is priceless.
Have a beautiful day, Rachel!
