Superbook Kids Bible App Brings Free Animated Bible Stories
Many Christians who grew up watching the television series Superbook now have children of their own. The new Superbook Kids Bible App from CBN is designed to help children learn more about the word of God in a fun and interactive way. The new app will allow families to watch all 68 episodes of the animated series, plus delve deeper into scripture through games, videos and more, all for free.
“Our goal, really at the heart of it all, is Isaiah 55:11, which says, ‘the word of God does not return void,'” said Paul Richardson, executive director of CBN Animation. “And so, with the Bible app, the goal is to get scripture into the hearts of kids, to help kids engage with the Bible in a variety of ways. They can scroll through the Bible, and in line with the text, you can see different videos pop up.”
The Bible app, a companion to the Superbook series, will be available in 23 languages in more than 200 countries and territories.
“We know it’s going to be effective, because we know the content that’s in it is lifechanging,” said Ben Edwards, vice president of CBN International. “And we’ve already seen that experience. We’ve had that experience all over the world, watching kids’ lives be changed and transformed. So now we just have to put it in front of them, put it in the language they speak, make it easy for them to access and it’s going to change a lot of lives.”
Designed for children aged 6 to 10, it features a biblical topics section where they can learn more about subjects ranging from angels to the Holy Spirit to handling everyday life.
“It’s really important for a child to have an experience with the gospel and with the Bible between the ages of 4 and 14,” Edwards said. “Once you get up toward 18 and higher, changing that worldview and having an impact on someone’s life, it can still happen, obviously, but it gets more and more difficult. So that’s another reason why Superbook is so strategic. It’s targeted at kids at a time in their life when they really need to have their biblical worldview and their spiritual worldview shaped.”
Many children also receive Jesus in the process.
“Superbook is the most effective evangelism tool we’ve ever had at CBN,” he said. “I’ve been involved in international ministry for so many years, and I’ve never seen anything that just has this incredible power and ability to impact and change a life. These young kids, they come to know Christ. They come to have a relationship with the Lord.”
