The Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN) has released the latest episode of its re-launched Superbook animated series.

The 14th episode, Joseph and Pharaoh's Dream, tells the story of "God's perfect plan for each one of us." "Kids will love this story of how God is always working in the lives of His children, no matter what happens along the way," says a trailer for the video.

Other episodes include In the Beginning (Creation), A Giant Adventure (David and Goliath), Let My People Go! (Moses and the Israelites' exodus from Egypt), Roar! (Daniel and the lions' den) and The First Christmas (Jesus' birth). The DVDs are available at the Superbook website

A popular animated TV series from the 1980s—which taught children the truths of the Bible—the original Superbook was launched in 1981 in an effort to bring the Bible to Japan. Like the new version, the original series featured a trio of characters—Chris, Joy and their toy robot, Gizmo—who traveled back in time to take part in the major stories of the Bible.

According to CBN, approximately 4 million-plus people watched each weekly episode of Superbook on television, resulting in the Bible becoming the best-selling book in Japan. Superbook has been viewed by 500 million people in 106 countries and translated into 43 languages.

In addition to the DVD series, CBN has created Superbook.TV, a website that allows children to create their own personal profile characters, play Bible-themed games, learn about God and His Word, listen to Superbook Radio and download a 30-day devotional.
