New ChronoBible E&D Projects Featuring 100 Stories

 
The Story of Hope Bible study book includes 40 Bible stories, 20 from the Old Testament and 20 from the New Testament. It is designed primarily for one-to-one or small group evangelistic Bible studies where only a few hours of study time are available.

Those 40 events do a fairly effective job of revealing the essence of God’s redemptive story. But wouldn’t it be great if we could expand the Biblical survey of the redemptive story to include 100 events, for situations where time allows for a more extensive coverage?!

That’s just what we plan to do with two future Good Soil Evangelism & Discipleship resources:

The Journey to Faith: Exploring the Bible, One Story at a Time

The Journey to Faith is a chronological Bible teaching curriculum for use in local churches, campus ministries, prison ministries, or Bible colleges, etc. The primary purpose of this curriculum will be to provide missionaries and national pastors (as well as North American church leaders) a resource for presenting a 100-stories version of God’s redemptive plan, clearly and thoroughly.

Coffee Table Edition

Coffee table edition of The Story of Hope that will include 100 beautifully illustrated stories from the Bible’s BIG STORY of redemption. In less than 30 minutes, readers will be able to read and view their way through 100 key redemptive events that expose them to a clear presentation of the gospel.

Quality Images

The Lord has made it possible for us to commission one of the best and most experienced Bible artists of our generation to help us with this project.  The project begins with the custom-creation of 100 near photographic, high resolution images to visually enhance this extensive chronological presentation of the Bible’s story of redemption.

An Excellent Ministry Investment

Here are some value-reasons why we believe that the creation of these redemptive story images is an excellent ministry investment:

• Exclusive Rights—ABWE will have exclusive rights (which is an extraordinary artistic right) to use and market these images.  We will not have to worry about other uses of these images that might detract from the impact of Good Soil resources.
• 50% of the Market Price—The typical market price for the creation of, and exclusive use of, images of this quality is approximately $5,000.  Because of his commitment to the purpose of our project, the artist has agreed to produce these images for approximately half of the typical price.
• Each Image a Custom Creation—Each of these 100 images will be custom-designed and created to optimize the impact of our Good Soil presentations of the gospel.
• Near Photographic Quality—As you can see from the image samples, the key features of these images are almost photorealistic.  We believe that this level of realism will be a powerful factor in communicating the realness and significance of the Bible’s story of redemption.
• Very High Resolution—These images will be created in a very high resolution digital format (more than 17 megapixels), allowing us to print them up to 40” x 30” for framing. As stated above, we plan to use the images to create a high quality coffee table book that tells and illustrates God’s eternal redemptive plan.
• Unlimited Rights for Use—We will have the rights to use and market these images in as many different ways as we think are appropriate for Good Soil E&D purposes.  This makes it very possible for the following value to be well within reach.
• Ongoing Return for Your Ministry Investment—A financial gift to make it possible for us to purchase one or more of these images is a long-term ministry investment in world evangelism and discipleship.  Because these images will generate income to ABWE that will be re-invested in other Good Soil E&D resources, which will create more ministry investment funds, and on and on.
• Your Donation Will Be Matched—A generous donor couple has agreed to match each sponsored image.  So, your sponsorship will allow us to pay for two images.
• Receive a 30” x 24” Canvas-Based Art Print—Image sponsors may choose to receive a 30” x 24” (unframed) canvas-based art print of any image in the collection when he or she sponsors an image.  Please note that, because of tax laws, this will reduce the tax deductibility of your gift to ABWE by $250.  For example, if you sponsor one of the $3,500 images, $3,250 will be tax deductible.
