Rescue Me! {The Captain Sun Adventures Review}

Nathaniel has been pursuing superheroes this year.  We have watched most of the DC and Marvel series movies and are looking forward to new releases coming soon.  I didn't think I could enjoy superhero stories as much as I've grown to enjoy them with him.

Recently we were introduced to Rescue Me! What Superheroes Can Teach Us About the Power of Faith. The heart behind The Captain Sun Adventures is part comic book, part children's devotional resource.

Rescue Me! is book one in the series and focuses on origin story, rescue, power and a team of heroes. 

Chapter 1 sample page

There are a total of eight chapters in the story. Each chapter is three pages long and follows a comic book layout with text boxes giving story background and speech bubbles. The graphics are beautifully drawn and family friendly. Although there is a villain in the story he is not grotesque making this book family friendly.

The story is set in the city called Capital City where a darkness is slowly creeping into everything and everywhere.  The citizens are wondering where Captain Sun is. Captain Sun arrives and defeats the villain only to have him return.  What to do?  How can this villain be conquered once and for all?  You will need to read Captain Sun's Rescue Me! to find out ...

Devotional News Paper Sample

Each chapter is followed by a one page devotional in the form of the Capital City Chronicle.  The Chronicle expands and explains the chapter before and presents a scripture to contemplate and questions to help the reader think deeper about what is going on in the story and how this applies to us in every day life.

At the end of Chapter 8 you will find a list of questions to think about for each of the preceding chapters. 

For children who like merchandise or to colour in be sure to check out the fun stuff tab on the It's Captain Sun website.

Over All I thought ...
Rescue Me! is a great tool to present the gospel to today's younger generation.The devotional pages are thoughtfully written and beautifully presented.  As your student works their way through this comic book they will be taken on a journey to deepen their understanding of the Christian faith and the body of Christ.   I look forward to sharing Captain Sun Rescue Me! with my younger nieces and nephews.
