It’s not often that a #1 TV program gives glory to God
but this one does. The 5-part, 10-hour series is
exciting for both parents and kids alike. I’m thinking God might be excited
about it too.

“People of all denominations showed the power that can be unleashed
in our culture when we band together,” said Roma. “The world is won when the
church is one.” The five-part BIBLE series was not only the most watched TV program of the

Watching "The Bible" on Sunday nights reminds me of the great programming we boomers watched as kids, such as "Walt Disney Presents" or "The Ed Sullivan Show." The Bible is the greatest book ever written and certainly deserves a weekly dramatic interpretation. It can also unite people of many faiths.
For example, Jews, Christians and Muslims all honor Abraham as a patriarch/prophet. Jesus was a devout Jew who is the Son of God to Christians and a prophet to Muslims. His mother, Mary, Is honored by Christians and Muslims alike.
God is love … and the Bible is His divine word. We shouldn't be surprised at the ratings. What a script!
Oh, I remember the Sunday night Walt Disney programs too. Our family really looked forward to them. It is like that for our family too, watching this series.
Your observations really hits the nail on the head. Thanks for your comments.

I am enjoying watching this series and am encouraged at how popular it is!
The theme of God’s love, and our ability to trust in Him, weaves throughout the program like a golden thread, binding the series together and presenting a truth applicable to any day and age. The music is very moving and the acting has given me a fresh perspective on several Biblical figures. I found myself looking through the eyes of Sarah as she wondered if her husband had sacrificed their son; and through the eyes of Moses, who knew that God would not lead them to the Red Sea only to abandon them. This series does indeed bring the Bible to life.
Nice. THis contest looks amazing. I really hope that I win it.
Thanks for having this contest. I'm really enjoying the series.
Though we do not have a television, so have not yet seen the series (will it be on Hulu or youtube?) I am excited about this positive contribution to TV viewers. Like Roma said, “People of all denominations showed the power that can be unleashed in our culture when we band together." To God be the GLORY!
Don't know where the We Cry Out thing came from but the above is my comment, Patti~
