The
creative team behind the No.1 selling audio Bible in history, Inspired By…The Bible Experience, has
done it again. They have created the largest audio-Bible production to
date using the world’s No. 1 English-language translation, the New
International Version (NIV), to create NIV Live: A Bible Experience. With audio performances from
Oscar®, Emmy® and Grammy Award® nominees and winners, as well as some of
today’s most respected and dynamic pastors, NIV Live offers listeners an
audio experience of Scripture like never before.
NIV Live: A Bible Experience packs a sound design that
rivals most Hollywood blockbuster films. Its multi-sensory, cinematic 3D
enhanced sound and musical score by the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra makes hearing the Word a
truly unforgettable listening experience.
In an exclusive interview with
Director Chip Hurd, She began the conversation by explaining how
they found the cast. “We first prayed and sought God’s will. The
cast was of utmost importance and God had to put the members in our
heart. We could not tolerate poor selections! On the first project
7 years ago, I mostly contacted people of faith that I knew. This
time around it had to be international, and only God knew the cast
internationally!”
Her enthusiasm and zeal are contagious.
She continued, “Patricia Heaton, from Everybody Loves Raymond, was my friend. We were in a
play together years ago back in New York called Don’t Get God Started. When she received the request
to participate in this project and saw my name, she immediately called.
She was on set the next day! Stories like that kept happening.”
The extraordinary sound system
along with the power of the spoken Word of God moved me unexpectedly so I could
only imagine how Hurd must have felt week after week hearing the amazing
recordings. “Now you’re going to make me cry. When I heard the
reader deliver the prayer of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, I lost it.
First Jesus prayed for his disciples, and then for all of us who would
believe after. He prayed for me, this little girl from Harlem who had nothing.
He prayed for me. I was in the booth and it hit me, while it
simultaneously hit the reader and we both lost it,” Hurd said.
Meagan
Good, character for Eve and Hardius, filled my heart with her gentle and
kindhearted spirit. “I met Christ when I was about 12 years old, after
some of my friends were tragically killed in a car accident. The Word
taught me where I needed to grow, it was my moral compass and taught me what I
needed to aspire to. At age 26 I committed to read the Bible every single
day. My favorite passage is Proverbs 31… I feel the call of God on my
life to teach women and young ladies.”
The incredibly talented Good
went on to say, “This was by far one of my best professional experiences
because it tied to my faith. It is a vehicle to get people to know God
personally. How exciting, it can reach everyone, even kids who don’t read
enough! It is an authentic experience and I’m helping to spread the
Gospel.”
