Sing the Bible CD - Volume 2

Learning Scripture by heart is such a wonderful thing and yet so many of us seem to struggle to do it in a lasting way. Slugs and Bugs is a great way of helping families to do just that. It has a wide (and surprising) selection of verses and has the added bonus of being great music! Such a wide range from the contemplative and thoughtful, to joyful and uplifting and of course a little bit of silliness for good measure.

Slugs and Bugs is a quirky, fun and sure way to help get Bible truth into the hearts of young people and into those that are young at heart!

I think "Sing the Bible" is great because:
- Musically, it's full of interest. There's lots of variety in the style of songs, the vocals used and the instrumentation. It makes use of solos, choirs, duets, backing vocals and has a range instruments and percussion appropriate to the mood and style of the song. The music is used to help communicate what the text is about; it's not merely a vehicle for memorisation as I've found in other scripture-set-to-music for children. I find that my heart is moved as I listen and sing along.
- There's variety in the scripture texts chosen. Some are short with lots of repetition, but there are longer passages, too. It's great to have longer texts set to music.
- It's fun as well as edifying.
And I guess these are some of the reasons why I enjoy listening to it as an adult, and the friends I've given it to who have children can have it playing on repeat (at their children's request) on a long car journey and it doesn't drive them mad.

Randall Goodgame is a funny, funny guy. Slugs & Bugs is good stuff!

Randall Goodgame, one of the best lyricists out there, has done something astonishing—he’s made a catchy, heartfelt, beautiful record that feels entirely original, and yet he’s using ancient words composed by the best writer there ever was. Just like Narnia, “Sing the Bible” is at least as much for the grownups as it is for the kids.
