#30 - Gideon, Great by God's Power

-Gideon, Great by God's Power- is the story of Gideon, a judge of Israel. It begins with his hiding from the Midianites while threshing his wheat then covers his destruction of the altar of Baal, then his gathering an army which God reduces to only 300 men. Through the Lord's help this tiny army defeats the enormous Midianite army by using clever tactics. This ends with Gideon's refusal to be made king of Israel. Of course, the Gospel is fitted in. It's exciting and fast moving and is aimed at children 4 - 10 years old, though adults may well enjoy it, also.
