Christian parents know the importance of passing the gospel on to their children, and they also live in a world full of distractions. Schedules collide, there is homework and yard work and dishes and laundry, the car's oil should be changed, there are phone calls to make, and before you know it everyone is getting to bed late again.

Long Story Short covers the Old Testament, helping parents show their children how every story in it points forward to God's salvation through Jesus Christ. Ten minutes a day, five days a week.
