The Almighty Bible to Release the Gospel of Mark for Easter
The Gospel of Mark will bring the life of Jesus alive with incredible illustrations and concisely edited text that is focused on biblical accuracy. Starting with John the Baptist the book will take the readers all the way to the Ascension of Jesus. “The Almighty Bible books are amazing. Kids and teens love them. Partly because they are much easier to read and party because the images help make the stories much clearer.” says Reverend Charles Kim from Youth Field Services, the largest support organization in the world for youth ministers.
The Almighty Bible believes that it is important that the word of God is packaged in a way that makes it competitive with the other content that is competing for our kid’s attention. Studies show that kids spend a cumulative 10.5 Hours each day multitasking with various forms of media. Project Co-creator Dong Chung believes that “it is incredibly important to adapt to how young people are now receiving information. This has lead us to present the stories of the Bible in the formats and media where kids, tweens and teens are already spending the majority of their time.”
The Bible Comes to Life on the iPad
Having already released the stories of the Old and New Testament as a part of a graphic novel series, The Almighty Bible team plans to carry the excitement over into the multimedia format. The app itself is free and includes the story of Creation and The Garden of Eden. With the app you receive everything that is included in the book version in addition to narration, a glossary, maps, anima
tions and full-text options. For the book of Genesis, there are an additional three sections totaling 146 pages, each section is only 99 cents. You can preview the app here: itunes.apple.com/us/app/the-almighty-bible-genesis/id389494281?mt=8
The incredible response to such digital versions of the Bible as www.youversion.com and the Children's Bible 3.0 has been a great indicator of where the Christian products are most strongly desired. The Almighty Bible is extremely excited to be a part of this movement and plan to further develop the app by adding games, lessons and more based off the response from their users.
The book and app series has been presented to many parents, youth ministers, authors and even Hollywood producers and the response has been overwhelming positive. Well known Christian author Mark Oestreicher says "I've seen The Almighty Bible on the iPad, and it is SO COOL! I've never seen anything quite like it. Makes me want to buy an iPad just for that."
Who Says The Bible Can't Be Cool for Kids??
It's David vs. Goliath as The Almighty Bible sets out to compete with huge secular brands in a way that is equally entertaining yet shares a faith-based message.
The Almighty Bible (thealmightybible.com) is here to make the Bible exciting for a new generation of kids and young teens. Young people today are brought up in a visual world where video games, iPhones and graphic novels are the preferred means of entertainment. The team behind the Almighty Bible has decided to use these natural tendencies rather than fight them.
