It’s the story of the Bible as you’ve never heard it before: a fast-moving overview of the most published book in history, performed by author, actor, and award-winning broadcaster Rob Lacey. Inspired by the acclaimed book and based on the live performance seen by thousands in the UK, this recording provides a 60-minute tour of the whole Bible. It’s fast, insightful...even funny. The classic stories of Scripture are retold with vivid 21st century language—psalms as songs, the Gospels as one story, epistles as emails, and Revelation as seen through a virtual reality headset. It’s been described by one BBC producer as “storytelling at it’s very best”.

Critic reviews

"[Lacey's] is a blunt and sometimes gritty retelling of the Bible, which he performs splendidly. A skilled storyteller, he is energetic and expressive. The musical interludes, songs, and accompaniment are a fine complement to the story." (AudioFile)

Rest in Heavenly peace rob lazy. What a beautiful gift you left the world! I love the brilliant, creative prose and dramatically captivating performance of this God-inspired version of the Word. It has helped us for years get in the Word by enjoying this on the go. It always gets me going back and looking further to learn more. You've made His Truth playful and fun.

It's amazing what God can inspire us to do
