Chris has never been this excited. His birthday gift is a HoloStation 4, the ultimate holographic gaming system! It's so popular that there aren't enough to go around for all the kids who want one. Such as the sick boy at the local hospital; even the hospital is unable to pull strings to get him one. Chris feels a twinge of guilt, but it takes SUPERBOOK'S ministrations to turn him around. The kids journey to meet Abraham and his beloved son, Isaac, whom he was willing to sacrifice because it's what God wants. Abraham puts God first in his life, above everything else. This has a profound effect on Chris, who returns home to donate his coveted HoloStation 4 to the little boy at the hospital. He sacrifices what is important to him and does it because he knows it's what God is asking him to do.

On a lazy afternoon, Chris Joy and Gizmo are hanging out in the lab recalling the great adventures they've had with Superbook. This prompts Gizmo to question whether they've yet experienced THE GREATEST Bible story of all time. In answer to his question, Superbook whisks the kids away to meet Moses as he is chosen by God to free the Israelites from their bondage in Egypt. During the course of the adventure, our young heroes make it through the plagues, the Exodus from Egypt, and ultimately to the parting of the Red Sea. When the kids return home, they know they have seen God's awesome power at work and believe it must be the greatest bible story ever. At first they are a bit disheartened, believing that if that was the best, most important bible story of all time, then what have they got left to look forward to? However, they quickly perk up when they realize there are hundreds more stories to visit and each one will have it's own unique appeal and adventure.

When Gizmo catches Chris and Joy skipping school to hang out with a bad role model (Pearce, the leader of an extreme skateboarding team), Superbook sends them back to a time when the world was fraught with evil. So evil, in fact, that God vows to destroy the world, saving only Noah "The only righteous man on earth", his family and a menagerie of animal species. As they witness the Flood, and Noah's unwavering faith in God, our heroes see how their bad behavior paralleled the world's descent into sin. Heartened by Noah's example and God's covenant with Mankind to never again destroy the world with a flood, they return to the present and reject Pearce's dangerous influence.

Joy is challenged to stand up to a classmate who questions Joy's selection of a new girl at school to join a special club. If Joy pushes for the new girl she could lose her own position in the club. Superbook whisks the kids off to meet Queen Esther, who is facing a moral crisis of her own. As Joy befriends the Queen, she learns that her own dilemma pales in comparison to the life and death choice Queen Ester is grappling with. At the moment of truth, Ether shows her true colors and stands up for what is right, even though it could mean death. She is rewarded for her bravery, protects a nation, and with that Joy returns home full of the resilience and fortitude it will take to do the right thing in her situation at school.

During a school band audition, Chris loses the courage to play his guitar in front of the crowd. Superbook whisks the kids off to meet another youngster who had to face his own "Giant" in a moment of crisis. Chris, Joy and Gizmo befriend the young David, who is taking bread to his brothers, who are on the front lines, fighting the Philistines. Because David is small, everyone laughs when he says he will face the Israelite's fiercest enemy Goliath, the Giant of Gath. David is ultimately able to slay the giant because God is on his side in this battle. Chris realizes that if he faces his own "goliath" (playing before a live crowd) and plays for God, there is no way he can't win. Superbook whisks the kids home and Chris is able to ace the audition and earn the position in the band. When God is on your side there is nothing you can't achieve.
