God's Story Synopsis

Vision of World Translation

          Because of the ease of producing God's Story in new languages, and its powerful Gospel impact, Wycliffe (translators to unreached language groups), missionaries with New Tribes, and other missions groups have begun to utilize it.

The Story Behind God's Story

     As missionaries were discovering the effectiveness of chronological teaching, the Lord was also prompting an artist, a film-maker and a writer to produce a video using this same presentation of the Gospel.

     The artist, Norm McGary, had been lead illustrator for Disney and Hanna Barbera Inc., before turning his time and talents over to Christian projects after finding the Lord. Covers and art by McGary are seen world-wide on work done for J. Vernon McGee, Hal Lindsey, Institution of Creation Research, ACTS Tracts, and Rock of Israel.

     The film-maker, Pat Matrisciana, felt that these paintings could be added to and expanded into a full-length film, and commissioned Dorothy A. Miller to head the project.

     Miller possessed writing expertise and twenty-five years experience in chronological Bible teaching. She led the Jeremiah team as they produced the 80-minute video, God's Story: From Creation to Eternity.

    This panorama of Bible stories on video is proving to be a powerful tool both for discipleship and evangelism.

    The Lord provided the perfect narrator for the English version in the person of Dean Jones, renowned actor and dedicated Christian. Jones' multiple voice-characterizations set a splendid standard for the many narrators who would be recording God's Story in other languages.
