What about Love? : Bible songs inspired by Friends and Heroes Series 1. A new music CD for the whole family!

Music is a powerful force – and songs can carry a life-changing message not just into children’s lives – but to everyone who hears it! That's why we asked some of the UK's leading song-writers to create songs inspired by the Bible stories in Friends and Heroes Series 1. Then we found an amazing record producer who found some awesome musicians and vocalists to bring them to life...
...the result is What about Love? : Bible songs inspired by Friends and Heroes Series 1 – and it’s absolutely amazing!

We didn’t expect our team to create a whole new genre of Christian music – but that is what they have done”, said David Dorricott, Executive Producer of Friends and Heroes. “These songs are brilliantly entertaining and powerfully moving – and they carry Bible truths right into your soul. You go to bed humming them and then wake up with them still in your head: and don’t for one minute think these are simple children’s songs – they are sophisticated, professional and stretch the boundaries of mainstream Christian music.”

There are 19 tracks on this CD: 13 of these are inspired by the Bible stories plus four songs, each one about a Friend and Heroes character - Macky, Portia, Toadie (Tobias) and Leah. Then we added Looking for a Hero - Friends and Heroes' theme song, and as if that wasn’t enough we also included a Gospel re-mix of the CD title song,
What about Love?

But there's even more! The package contains 2 CDs - one with the 19 vocal mixes and the other with the same songs as Backing Tracks so that you can sing-along karaoke style! The 20 page booklet inside the box has all the song lyrics to make that easy too.

And for the icing on the cake, we have a special introductory offer on this double album! If you order it before 30th September it costs just £10, saving £3.

We thought that you'd like to hear samples of some of three of these great songs so simply click the titles below to play them:
Down Came the Fire – Elijah and the Prophets of Baal (Episode 13)
Remember Me – The Last Supper (Episode 11)
What about Love? – Portia’s Song

A combined 2D and 3D animated series
39 episodes in 3 series of 13 x 26 minutes
for 6 -10 year olds

Friends and Heroes is the epic animated tale of two young people in the First Century - Macky and Portia - whose idealism and friendship leads them across the ancient world, from the fabled Egyptian port of Alexandria, to the besieged city of Jerusalem and finally, to the very heart of the Empire: Rome. As they fight for justice and even survival against the might of the Roman Empire, they become friends and then, in turn, heroes.

Through Macky and Portia, Friends and Heroes brings the inspiring stories of the Old and New Testament to a new, worldwide generation of children in the Twenty-First Century, whatever their faith or background. Like our heroes, children will be empowered by what they see and hear, as they share the courage and compassion and the everyday dangers faced by Macky and his friends.

And what Macky learns is that one person can make a difference
- as a friend, or as a hero.
