decided to unveil what we've been working on. And now,
presenting...
Adventures in Odyssey

collection of the oddest of oddities in Odyssey history,

If
you've been keeping up with Adventures in Odyssey
news this week, then you might already know that Album 55,
The Deep End, is now available for download in the
U.S.
Jason Whittaker discovers a
life-threatening plot in the works after he tracks the
villainous Mr. Grote to London. In Odyssey, rumors fly when
a wedding brochure is mistaken for an announcement and
everyone thinks Connie is getting married. Eugene and
Katrina hear unsettling news about their future. And Kids
Radio tells the exciting story about how a back-country man
with a simple desire for peace winds up on the front lines
of World War I. Amidst all of the conflict and comedy, our
pals in Odyssey learn that being in over their heads can be
a very touching and funny experience when God is put in the
center of it all.

It's
been a while since we last updated you on the new
Adventures in Odyssey Imagination Station book series.
Geared for ages 7-11, the series follows characters Beth and
Patrick as they travel in Whit's greatest invention, the
Imagination Station, to experience Biblical and historical
events. With seven books currently available, more books are
planned to push the series forward.
Book 8, originally titled Mystery of
Starlight Island, will be released as
Battle for the Mysterious Island (April 2012). Book
9 in the series,
Escape to the Hiding Place, will make its way to
Christian bookstores and online retailers later this year.
You can see brand new images of these cover
arts at their appropriate product pages. Of course, The
Imagination Station book series isn't the only
collection of Adventures in Odyssey books available
on the market. You can see other titles available at our
Books page. There's always something in the works
from Adventures in Odyssey.
Let
the celebration begin! Adventures in Odyssey has
officially announced its 25th anniversary

for Adventures in Odyssey. Stay tuned as we keep you
posted on the latest Adventures in Odyssey news, one

Fans
of the ever-growing
Ceiling Fan Podcast are in for an interesting
continuation of an epic series that started with Season 3.
When Phil is visited by an
old associate, he learns that protecting the ones closest to
him may mean facing the dark truth of his past. Are things
what they seem? Find out in this dramatic continuation of
the M'Kalister Park Saga. Season 4 has begun.
An innocent band tour has evolved into a series of
unexpected twists and turns as the show's characters find
themselves on a confusing adventure. If you're new to
The Ceiling Fan, it follows fictional characters
Ethan Daniels, Phil Jinkus, and a host of others. The best
part is that it's inspired by Adventures in Odyssey.
Ethan Daniels, self-proclaimed "biggest Odyssey fan",
ironically knows very little about the show he claims to be
a die-hard of.
