  • Teach Us to Pray

    After his grandpa dies, Chris and his grandma find an old family Bible. When she begins to cry, Chris feels desperate. What can he do to help? Get ready for a heart-pounding adventure as Superbook takes Chris, Joy and Gizmo back to New Testament times. Witness the wonder as Jesus is gloriously transfigured on the mountaintop. See how He teaches the disciples to pray in faith—and to cast out demons! The children discover that the Lord’s Prayer is still the perfect guideline for praying today. 

    *Caution: Be sure to preview both the Bible story video and the condensed Bible story video for this course. You may also want to ask parents to preview the videos before showing them to their children. In following the biblical narrative, certain scenes may be too intense for some children. If you wish to use a less intense version, you can play Video 2 (Chris and Joy’s dilemma), Video 4 (the condensed Bible story), and Video 8 (Chris and Joy’s resolution).
