1. The William Carey Story (Redeem TV)

It's the latest episode in the Torchlighters animated series about Christian heroes of history. It spotlights Carey, the British Christian missionary and Bible translator known for his pioneering work in India. The Torchlighters series -- if you've never sampled it -- is as entertaining as any kid-friendly series on TV and is, perhaps, the easiest way to whet a modern-day child's appetite to read about church history. The William Carey Story will be released on Redeem TV's ADC section on May 15.
