FAQ's

Who is Neil MacQueen? ...and why is he recommending these DVDs?

I'm a Presbyterian minister specializing in Christian Education and resources. I've been teaching Sunday School for over 30 years and have always striven to incorporate the latest media to grab my student's attention and make their lessons memorable. For the past 15 years I have been leading seminars on the use of media in Christian education and have written articles for numerous church-related magazines.

I am also the owner and chief creative director of Sunday Software. We make interactive Bible software for kids. Through my software work I'm in regular contact with teachers, pastors and educators looking for help with their Sunday School lessons, and thus, I'm often asked for "Bible Video Recommendations." These webpages help answer those questions.

This What's in the Bible Series is brand new. I started getting advanced copies of it last year and was really excited by what I saw. In my estimation, they are better than the VeggieTale videos because they are definitely more Biblical and have an overt Christian message.

Many people know me as one of the founders of the Workshop Rotation Model and the Rotation.org Website at www.rotation.org. I spent many years traveling the US introducing churches to the model and our software.

Many people know me as the "Church Website Guy" ...having come here from one of my many articles about Building a Better Church Website, located at www.sundaysoftware.com/webpage.htm and my blog at www.sundayresources.net/neil

SundayResources.net is also the home of my Ideas for Church Change and Church Tech Blog, www.sundayresources.net/neil

Who is producing the What's in the Bible DVD series?

These are being produced by Phil Vischer the creator of VeggieTales, and Tyndale House Publishing, a company with whom I have a long acquaintance. My Sunday Software company has carried a number of their software titles over the years. This is the first time we've ever carried DVD --and when you see them, you'll know why we decided to carry them!

Copyright Info for the What's in the Bible? DVD series.

Not to worry!

But.... on the opening screen of each DVD you will see a warning that the DVD must only be used for "non-commercial HOME use."

I have spoken to the Publisher and they assure me that this was not intended to keep churches from teaching with these DVDs!

You should also know that such "boilerplate" warnings appearing on many other copyrighted video are not always completely true for every situation. Read on....

Section 101 of the US Federal Copyright Law SPECIFICALLY GRANTS PERMISSION TO USE ALL copyrighted materials in "Face to Face teaching situations." This "Face to Face" clause is straight out of the Federal Copyright Law. (Of course, you need to buy or rent the video, this is not a license to make your own copies).

Sunday School is considered a "Face to Face teaching situation." No publisher's copyright language can supersede Federal law. For more details, and to read the law, go to www.sundaysoftware.com/copyright.htm.

A lending library may lend the DVD for home use or face to face instructional use, provided that they are lending it for free and do not charge a membership fee, but they should not lend it for public performance (which according to the courts includes public worship and retreats).

Sunday Software presents...

From the creator of VeggieTales comes a brand new series of really fun teaching videos that take your kids through the Bible.

Fast-paced and humorous "shows" about books of the Bible featuring "muppet quality" puppets, songs, and lots of great animations and illustrations. They are also infused with the kind of humor kids love and pay attention to, ...and parents have come to expect from the creator of VeggieTales.

Many months ago I started getting advanced copies of this new series and was very excited. It's great to see new high-quality Bible media get the budget and support that these have received. I was also very pleased that unlike VeggieTales, these DVDs are OVERTLY CHRISTIAN and Biblical.
