Whatever happened to the book "God's Story" by Karyn Henley? I can't find it anywhere?

God's Story
has been re-packaged and re-titled as the Day by Day Kid's Bible. Page-for-page the text is exactly the same, so any materials you have which cross-reference to God's Story (such as God's Story and Me devotions and Sword Fighting scripture memory curriculum) can still be used effectively.

Whatever happened to the devotional book "God Story and Me"?.

When God's Story was repackaged several years ago as the Day by Day Kid's Bible (see question above), God's Story and Me was revised and repackaged as the Day by Day Devotions. Any cross-references to page numbers in God's Story will work for the Day by Day Kid's Bible (and vice-versa) because page-for-page the text is exactly the same in God's Story and Day by Day Kid's Bible.

Is "My First Hymnal" still available? My local bookstore and the web-based retailers tell me it's out of print.

Here's the story in a nutshell. Several years ago it was out of print for several months (it had sold out) and for some reason many retailers hadn't yet realized that it was back in print.

Even though it was eventually reprinted, in early 2006, existing stock ran out once again and the publisher opted not to reprint. We have recently approached another major publisher who already carries some of Karyn's materials about creating a new version, but nothing has been finalized at this time.

The split track CD and audio cassette are still available while supplies last. There is also a My First Hymnal video which uses some of the songs in a story-line format with Karyn and some "neighborhood kids." If you can't find these items at your bookstore, they are still available at Karyn Henley Resources. If you have any questions call free 1-888-573-3953 (M-F, 9-5 Central).

Where can I find the curriculum folders (also known as Bible Learning Folders & Children's Ministry Folders)?

The good news-

Beginning in April 2008, we will re-release the 12 most-in-demand folders of that series. Rather than wait until they are all completed, we are releasing them as they become available. Visit the Bible Study Curriculum page at our website for more information.


Are the Teacher Training Folders still available?

The answer is about the same as the question regarding the curriculum folders--there is good news (great, actually) and then there is bad news.

First the bad news-
The Teacher Training folders have been discontinued and are no longer in print.

Now the good news-
The new Child-Sensitive Teaching Training Guide contains the material from the Teacher Training Folders plus some previously unpublished material. Rather than describe it here check out the link above and download the sample pages.

I'm organizing a training event for parents, teachers and others who work with children. Can I receive some catalogs or sample products for the attendees?

Yes. We will gladly supply you with Karyn Henley Resources catalogs for your event and samples of appropriate products. Email us at office@karynhenley.com or call toll-free 1-888-573-3953 for more information.

Also, we appreciate you letting other like-minded parents, teachers, children’s pastors, and child-care professionals know about what we have to offer. We are a small company and cannot depend on high-priced advertising to attract new customers. Much of our ongoing growth as a ministry business is due to referrals from satisfied friends.

I'd like to show a PLAYSONGS® DVD/Video for a church/group gathering. Do I need to get special permission to do that?

We are happy to let people show the PLAYSONGS® videos in church or other gatherings. By purchasing the video product, you are permitted to show the program so long as you do not charge a fee or payment for people to view the video. Also, the program may not be exhibited in whole or in part for any fund-raising or commercial use.

Will you bill my church or accept a purchase order for payment?

Because we are a very small company (actually, a tiny company), we do not have the personnel and resources to maintain an accounts receivable and billing department. In the interest of good stewardship, we need to have payment before we ship any orders. We accept Visa, MasterCard, and American Express (credit or debit cards) as well as checks and money orders.

Why can't I find Karyn's products in the bookstores?

Many of Karyn's products are licensed to major publishers and are available to bookstores. But just because they are available to bookstores doesn't necessarily mean they are in the bookstores--that is up to the discretion of the buyers for the stores.

Other products, such as our PLAYSONGS® Bible Time curriculum, are available exclusively from Karyn Henley Resources.

If you can't find an item at the bookstore, we will always have it at our website (provided it has not been discontinued or gone out of print). Check our website or call us toll-free 1-888-573-3953.
