“VeggieTales - Greatest Hits” is in stores today.

The new live action DVD release from Bibleman and Thomas Nelson is in stores today. It’s called “Lambasting the Legions of Laziness”. Here’s what the press release says about it:

“There is really nothing as lamentable as a lethargic little boy or girl. Fortunately, Bibleman and his Bible Adventure Team make it their business to address the issue as they battle the villain Slacker and all of his sluggish schemes. Slacker uses his laser of laziness to keep young Drew from wanting to go to bible study, but the Bible Adventure Team fights against drowsiness to rescue him. With great special effects and live-action stunts, ‘Lambasting the Legions of Laziness’ is sure to entertain and energize the most lethargic viewers and teach them the true dangers of laziness.

The release of the new DVD is supported by several Bibleman appearances and video premieres as well as some stops on the Bibleman Live Tour, which is now going global. The popular live-action stage show will soon be entertaining and encouraging children in Germany as well as across the U.S. to begin a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.”

Jeremy chats with the Newsboys’ Paul Colman about the band’s concert in Springfield 2/29/08.
