WHAT PEOPLE HAVE SAID:

I Heard It from the Shepherds is the most delightful Christmas musical I have seen or heard in many years. The children really enjoyed working on it and listening to the CD. The "rap" was their favorite.  The unique thing is that they learned the Luke passage without having to work so hard and it was fun.  They will have it for life. Also, learning the names of the prophets --- what a wonderful thing to teach them in a such a fun way.

I wanted to thank you for I Heard It from the Shepherds. My older children presented it last Sunday evening at our church. It was wonderful. Everyone loved it – those singing and those listening. Please keep writing for children.

• Sherry Upshaw - First Baptist Church in Shreveport, LA

 Our production of I Heard It from the Shepherds went SO well. The children just loved the music and the speaking parts. They wore biblical costumes and sang with enthusiasm. "Hodie! Hodie!" was a big hit!

• Sally DeFehr - Cherry Creek Presbyterian Church in Denver, CO

 Our Older Children’s music groups presented I Heard It from the Shepherds, complete with the costumed drama, rhythm instruments and handbell parts. IT WAS GREAT! The children had a good time learning it, and the parents really enjoyed hearing it. I am a VERY satisfied customer
