A Guide to Adventures in Odyssey
Growing up as a kid in the Bible Belt, I enjoyed the Focus on the Family radio series, Adventures in Odyssey. Radio drama may not be very popular today, but it is alive and well in many Christian circles.
These children’s programs are impeccably produced. The stories are well-written. The sound effects help along the listener’s imagination. The ongoing storylines are often suspenseful. And the moral lessons the programs teach are biblically sound and mostly helpful for Christian parents.
Old fans of Adventures in Odyssey will enjoy looking through 550+ page book about the series, Adventures in Odyssey: The Official Guide: A Behind-the-Scenes Look at the Stories, Actors, and Characters
I lost interest in the second half of the book, probably because I had already stopped listening to Odyssey by the time they replaced most of the original characters back in 1997. But I am already looking forward to listening to these shows with my kids when they get a bit older. If you’re a fan, you’ll find that Adventures in Odyssey: The Official Guide provides a fun-filled look at a show that has been going on for 20 years now.
