MEDIA ADVISORY, Jan. 11, 2011 /Standard Newswire/ -- 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. The first two graphic novels, Genesis and Exodus are already out and are being carried by virtually every Christian bookstore. They are also doing well on Amazon and are now being picked up by secular stores. These books, going by the same name, are also available as iPAD apps that add narration, maps, glossary, Bible study, animations and full-text options to the books. The first iPad app soared to # 43 on the charts in just two days after the release and the first iPhone app comes out later this month. In February, an online virtual world www.almightybibleclub.com will open for kids of all ages.

"For years, content based on the Bible has been the domain of ministries and faith based groups that in general have not delivered the best content for the kids." - says Kevin O'Donnell, project producer and creator of the multiple Emmy nominated series Liberty's Kids (PBS). "There have been exceptions however, such as 'The Prince of Egypt' that have shown that when the content is exciting and well done, kids will flock to it." The co-producer of the project, Dong Chung shares the same sentiments. "I was involved with Focus on the Family, producing a special episode of 'Adventures in Odyssey' that made it clear to me that faith based quality programming could be creatively and commercially successful."

Two new TV networks are currently trying to demonstrate that Christian programming does not have to be relegated to donation based networks. The benefit of course is that with commercial success comes ongoing funding that will create bigger and better budgets for bigger and better blocks of Christian programming. The Almighty Bible is quickly growing into a national brand, attracting attention from top Youth Ministers, Bloggers and Media Personalities throughout the Christian world. Jim Burns, host of the popular HomeWord radio show (www.homeword.com), recently spent two days focusing on The Almighty Bible series. Pastor Charles Kim, who was a guest on the program and who heads the Advisory Board for the Almighty Bible has made a point of bringing top youth ministers from across the country into the project. "The Almighty Bible is not coming from a major studio, but the team behind it is working around the clock to try and make a difference. Luckily, people have been supporting them and spreading the word. That's what we need, good people everywhere to spread the word."
