These songs mostly consist of one or two lines from the book of Proverbs set to an easy tune, repeated over and over again. "For the Lord gives wisdom and from his mouth comes knowledge and understanding." Proverbs 2, verse 6. The tunes are mostly very predictable, but not especially memorable. The video format should add interest, but doesn't, due to the lack of imagination in the production. The presentation is typically American and comes across as sugary and patronising. It also looks to be made on a very low budget, with little happening except a few children dancing as they sing the memory songs. Technically, the colour separation is poor and some sequences have poor lighting. My children might sit and watch it once or twice, but I don't predict that it will be a 'well loved addition to their video library'. I like the idea of children learning Bible verses, but this doesn't deliver the goods.
