Follow on Google News | A Radically Ancient Bible for This GenerationBest-selling faith-based voice actor creates a written Bible that's designed to be spoken and heard.
One of the fastest-growing media formats is audiobooks. The biggest audiobook consumers are 18-49 (Statista 2019). It's as if this generation is returning to its ancient storytelling roots around the campfire. Couple that with the urgent need to reach this generation with the truth of God's word, and you get the RGT (Revised Geneva Translation) "For centuries, people have memorized and spoken back Scripture to each other in long form with powerful, reckless results for the Kingdom," says Cook, "I created the RGT with that in mind." Borne of Cook's need to memorize and speak Scripture onstage, the RGT is a modernized version of the first widely-distributed Bible in English, The Geneva Bible. However, unlike the original Geneva of the 1500's, this Revised Geneva Translation (https://www.5talentsaudio.com/ "Think of it as an actor's 'Script', meant to be spoken and heard as much as read," says Cook. The RGT preserves the poetry of the Geneva, while eliminating confusing 16th century words and punctuation. It also preserves the Geneva's pioneering versification (i.e. beginning every verse on a new line - which aids tremendously in memorization) "We hope this project will be a living and active Bible for this generation," In addition to his five #1 Amazon Best-Sellers, Steve Cook's audiobook credits include Tom Sawyer: A One-Hour Classic, A Christmas Carol, and Ken Ham's Ready to Return. Steve also tours live performances of the NTA and is the podcast producer of Rick Warren's Daily Hope. Five Talents Audio (https://www.5talentsaudio.com) exists to activate more Scripture in people's lives. End
