As the Adventures in Odyssey team gets ready for their epic 25-year celebration this year, some details regarding upcoming products are now available. Take a look at what's in store during 2012, a big year for Adventures in Odyssey.

 

First in the lineup of our news today is the improved and revised edition of The Official Guide (2nd edition) which releases October 2012. The book will contain many of the same amazing interviews, behind-the-scenes details, and much more. Fortunately, the book is picking up quite a few new pages with new content to reflect all the released Odyssey products since the first edition to the book. In addition, the book will contain a brand-new 8-page color section with behind-the-scenes photos in celebration of 25 years. Learn more about the book here.

 

Second, a great companion to youngsters' quiet time will be introduced October 2012: 90-Day Devotions for Kids. This special devotional covers thirteen weeks of material and provides helps from an Odyssey perspective. We will provide more details on this release as they become available.

 

And, if that's not exciting enough, a new audio collection is on the horizon, making its way to fans this September. A new and exciting collection, Silver Celebration (cover not necessarily final at this point), will feature 36 episodes from each year of the series. This will make a great companion to other special collections released by Focus on the Family in the past.

Regardless, it's nice to see that they are receiving some comical exposure. For a show that currently has 44 full podcasts available and a plethora of extra features along the way, you can't go wrong. You can listen to their newest episode, "Should You Choose to Accept It", here.
