The Tales of Glory series is a new line by the Christian company one2believe.com. These evangelical toy sets are composed of several small format pvc plastic figures intended to play out one of several famous Biblical stories from the New Testament. Here are the sets that are currently available:
There are two different sets which illustrate some of the miracles of Jesus, including one recounting the story of the loaves and fishes, and another of Jesus walking on water. These can be found separately or purchased in a set online that also comes with the series terrain playmat.
There is a set with Joseph, Mary, and the infant Jesus. This can be found bundled with Jonah and the whale set which also comes with a playmat.

As you can see from the pictures, the Tales of Glory series has quite a cartoonish look, and seems most appropriate for younger, preschool aged children. If your children are older, they may be more interested in the Messenger of Faith figures, or possibly the burly Spirit Warrior figures.
If your kids like these, you might be interested in the play mat that was made for this series. The imagery from the Tales of Glory playmat is representative of the terrain from the various stories.
One of the intentions behind this line of figures is for parents to sit and play with their children while telling them Biblical stories. If you have the time, a really fun activity would be for you to work with your kids to create your own playmat, or additional paper figures for other popular stories from the Bible. Your kids will be grown up faster than you'll ever believe, so don't miss an opportunity to be part of their early lives.
