· Review: This is a great idea for busy families. I would hesitate to recommend using them more than once a month because Family Home Evening should be an inspired family event. Saying that my family loves this Family Home Evening. They all want to be the conductor (that person gets the controls). The tithing one is very well done with appropriate scripture references and song. I like that the words for the songs appear on the screen. I stated above that they are not as fun to watch again, but the other day my 3 year old son picked one of the FHE on DVD for his movie. So we sat down and watched it together, singing and learning together. What a great teaching tool. This would be great for a young family or a newly converted family to teach them the steps for family home evening. Great to have on hand for the hectic week where you didn’t have time to prepare.
