A musical handbook for the Christian life filled with memorable, joyful, word-for-word Scripture songs.
Just like the first Sing the Bible, Volume 2 features a CD filled with memorable, joyful word-for-word Scripture songs, held together by the artistry and humour fans have come to expect from Slugs & Bugs.
Some of the Scripture verses were suggested by fans, and some have come out of Randall's own study, but taken together, they find a common theme in their practical application. In many ways, Sing the Bible Volume 2 is a musical handbook for the Christian life.
Randall says: "Volume 1 drew heavily from the music of central and southern Africa. For Volume 2, I’ve been inspired by sounds native to the USA. We’ll feature a few special guests again and I’m also focusing on keeping the songs playable and useful for family or corporate worship. Of course, the important thing will be getting these verses in to your heart, and in the hearts of your children and thousands of other families around the world."

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!
We love Slugs and Bugs, having listened to them on Spotify. We chose to buy this CD as an Easter gift for our 2 year old's friend. We picked this one especially as we particularly enjoy the Ten Commandments, Raisins, and Stars.
We live listening to this CD in the car. It has great tunes, humour and Bible verses set out in memorable ways. Thanks Randall Goodgame and the Slugs and bugs crew.
We just love this CD! My children, aged 6 & 10, both know lots of the bible due to Slugs and Bugs - what's not to love.
We love this cd! All songs are sung words of the Bible yet very catchy and not annoying at all. We actually all enjoy having it on in the car and as a by product us grown ups have been able to memorize bible verses. Highly recommend
Was looking for something to listen to with our wee one in the car that we would enjoy too and this is it.
We just love this as a family . It’s a wonderful way to learn scripture and I often hear the kids singing the songs to themselves - no gimmicks just great catchy tunes and straight scripture - love it !
I love this CD, possibly more than my children, though we are all happy to have it playing in the car. It definitely does resonate with them too, and they are very excited when they come across bible readings when they already know the sung version.
My 3 year old daughter loves these Bible songs. I am so pleased that she has memorized ACTUAL SCRIPTURE because of this CD !! My teenaged daughter and I love the music as well. As a believer in Jesus, I highly recommend this CD!
I absolutely love this CD! It's as good or better than the first one. It has a good mix of catchy music designed to help you remember Bible verses. My 3 year old son really likes it, and I love it as well :)
Everyone in my family loves slugs and bugs. All my children (5,3,1) love dancing/singing along to the songs which are just scripture set to music. Me and my husband love it too as the music is produced to a very high standard and avoids the ‘cheese’ factor of so much kids music and it helps us memorise scripture too! Happy to have these sing the bible cds on repeat most days without losing our sanity.
