Children Arise - Children Arise Vol 1

STYLE: Childrens
RATING 6 6 6 6 6 6
OUR PRODUCT CODE: 10977-
LABEL: Independent
FORMAT: Cassette Album

Reviewed by Tony Cummings

Volumes 1 and 2 are produced in Australia and are of a very high standard in childrens music. The format and content of the albums is a selection of Bible verses set quite effectively to a delightful array of tunes, although one criticism if one is to be honest is that they are all of a similar ilk. For this reason I have to admit to being slightly bored with them. However, the songs are all good in their own right and perhaps used in a Sunday school setting they would be very welcome I'm sure. It is difficult to choose a favourite between the two albums, it is purely down to which Bible verses one would wish to get children to learn. You would need to look at both to decide for yourselves. I liked "For Your Thoughts" from Volume 1 which is taken from Philippians 4:8 and I also liked the thought of my own children singing along to "Children Obey". All the songs here were written by one Janine Targett.

Hello Merrilyn
I am listening to the Children Arise at school nearly every morning....x
I absolutely love the songs and want the CDS so I can learn the words at home... I would do anything to get a copy of Volume 1 and 2
Do you know where I order or buy the CDS?
They are amazing children who truely love the Lord Jesus!!
It is teaching me loads of things, things which I have never thought before(if you know what I mean)
Keep the good work up,
And may God bless you for all you are doing

Hello Merrilyn,
Would it be possible for you to contact me with your e-mail address? I also listened to volume one of Children Arise as a kid, and would love to purchase this and possibly the other volumes as well, in CD format.
Thank you so much.
Elisabeth

Hi there erica,
I am the producer of the 'Children arise' series of Gods Word in Song for kids. I have produced 4 volumes so far and am currently working on volume 5. They are an outstanding resource for people of all ages. A verse of scripture in the form of a melody will stay with us forever. These recordings have blessed many thousands of families around the world and will continue to do so. You may order direct from me. Bless you. Merrilyn Billing
