“Celebrity voices power a new 78-CD Bible”
The Southern covered The Bible Experience this past week with an article titled "Celebrity voices power a new 78-CD Bible." You can read the entire article at this link. Quotes from the article include:
"’This turned into something far bigger than the original version," said Paul Caminiti of Zondervan, which published and is distributing "Inspired By … The Bible Experience."
Robert Jeffress, senior pastor of First Baptist Church of Dallas, supports the project. "I think it’s a quality presentation of God’s word, and I’m for anything that makes God’s word more accessible to the public," said Dr. Jeffress, who was recently named pastor of the church, long a bulwark of conservative theology. "Paul said, ‘Faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of God.’"I think the ‘Bible Experience’ reminds us that the Bible was poured through the lives and personalities of individuals, and helps bring those words to life.’"

Rob Bell: Everything Is Spiritual
In the Hebrew scriptures there is no word for "spiritual." And Jesus never used the phrase "spiritual life." Why? Because for Jesus and his tradition, all of life is spiritual. But what does that really mean?
You’ve Seen Rob Bell in the NOOMA videos. Now See Rob teaching about how everything is spiritual from his sold-out national speaking tour. Click here for more information on the Everything Is Spiritual DVD from Zondervan.
