Word of Promise Next Generation New Testament Dramatic Audio Bible
Thomas Nelson, 2008, $49.99, www.thomasnelson.com
What do you get when you mix together today’s teen stars, the Bible, and the heart of Max Lucado? An intriguing, unorthodox, yet captivating approach engaging God’s word with a new generation audience.
This audio version of the New Testament will quickly engage your younger students’ imagination with the story of God through the powerful medium of audio theatre, using the talents of young stars such as Jordan Sparks, Hannah Montana’s Emily Osment and Cody Linley (as Jesus), Lord of the Rings’ Sean Astin, and High School Musical’s Corbin Bleu to name a few. There is even a “behind the scenes” DVD capturing interviews with these stars and the impact of this project in their lives.
Although the initial marketing package may scream Christian consumerism, the quality of production, the dramatic energy and passion, and the sincere attention to the Gospel story, along with an impressive 40-day listening plan, will envelop your heart and enhance your ministry creativity.
