Wow - what a couple of weeks it’s been!

Date July 21, 2010

Yeah, so I haven't blogged in a while.  Sorry about that, it's been a wild couple of weeks.
Three weeks ago I was in St. Louis for the big Christian booksellers convention.  The convention isn't as big as it used to be, since, well, there aren't as many Christian retailers as there used to be, but […]

“What’s up, Phil?”

Date June 14, 2010

So we're back from London!  Okay, we've been back for a few weeks, and I haven't given you an update lately because, well, I've been busy.  Darn busy.  But I thought I'd better give you an update before you all decide I must have disappeared in an ash cloud somewhere over Iceland.
London was great, and […]

What’s in the Bible #3… and off to England!

Date May 7, 2010

We just got a couple of cases of DVD #3 in the office here in Wheaton, and they look great.  They should be arriving at your local Christian bookstore any time now.  If you can't find them there, you can order from our own website.  DVD #3 finishes the Pentateuch, and ends with a big […]

#3 is done - and a great quote from a kid

Date March 24, 2010

Hey ho - after much tweaking, What's in the Bible #3 has left the building!  It's off to the duplicators and should be in stores before Father's Day.  The fearsome beasts of Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy have been slayed, and, hopefully, rendered at least moderately understandable for kids!  (We'll see how that goes once they […]

WITB sightings in the “wild”

Date February 22, 2010

Well, some of you may have been surprised walking into your local Christian bookstores over the last week to see Buck Denver's big face on a display full of brand new "What's in the Bible?" DVDs.  It seems the first batch of manufactured copies was sent out to stores more than a week ago, and […]

I’m a little bit hoarse…

Date February 9, 2010

… because I spent four hours in a room with an 80 year-old Sunday School teacher.  Well, okay, she's a puppet.  Named Sunday School Lady.  I'm filming scenes for the third "What's in the Bible?" DVD, and I had to cover about 20 pages of script with Sunday School Lady yesterday, which left me a […]

Wow - that went fast!

Whoa, hey wow.  The 50 DVDs went very quickly!  So… we'll try to let you know if you were one of the first 50 to request a "What's in the Bible?" sample DVD, and we'll be sending out those DVDs in the next few days.
And remember the deal:  If you get one, you need to […]

Wanna Check out “What’s in the Bible?”

First, the release date for the first two DVDs in our new series has been moved up to […]
