WTB_Mark is a ground-breaking stage adaptation of Mark's Gospel in two Acts, based on Steve Cook's audio recording, Witness the Bible: Mark. It contains a cinematic underscore of music and sound effects, over which the action is meticulously timed out. The result is a powerful activation of Scripture. It is prop-less with a very simple set and costumes and runs about 90 minutes with one intermission. It is designed to replicate what Bible study must often have been like in the 1st century Church, when most believers were illiterate.

If we as Christians want to celebrate a specific event other than Halloween on October 31st, then Martin Luther’s nailing of his 95 Theses onto the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany, in 1517 is as good an alternative event as any.

This seventh volume in the Sacred Sleep series contains the entire second book of the New Testament (just under two hours of Scripture) spoken over soothing music by seven-time number-one best-selling narrator Steve Cook. As with all volumes in the series, this audio sleep aid was created with a biblical model of peace in mind, to form a unique bedtime experience that will help you get the rest you need, while deepening your faith and drawing you closer to God. So turn off the day and invite the Lord into a peaceful time of Sacred Sleep tonight.

For centuries, people have memorized and spoken back God's Word to each other in long form with powerful, reckless results for the Kingdom. In fact, up until about 500 years ago, it was our primary means of meditation, since most of us were illiterate. What if we made a conscious effort to revive that experience? What if we reintroduced the radically ancient concept of Active Scripture Memorization back into our homes and churches? One of the keys to first century-style revival is more first century-style Bible study. Memo Devo 2.0 is designed to help you do that.

Memorization through story and song was the only way folks like us had of studying and pondering God's word at all for almost half of our recorded existence before Moses ever began writing it all down. And for most folks, that tradition continued on millennia after that, before literacy became as common as it is now. But whether or not you believe any of that, one thing I do know is that I myself have experienced unprecedented power in my own walk with the Lord since beginning to treat long-passage Scripture memorization as devotion.

Psalm 119 is one of the best-known and most beloved passages of Holy Scripture. It is literally and figuratively at the center of our Bible, and is devoted entirely to the expression of love, praise, and devotion to God’s word. Yet when it comes to memorizing it, many of us today are intimidated by its size. Memo Devo 3.0 is designed to help address this. It’s part of Five Talents Audio’s ongoing mission to activate more of God’s Word in our daily lives by making Scripture memorization more accessible and feasible for us all.

The Revised Geneva Translation (based on Shakespeare's favorite Bible translation) was borne of an actor’s need to memorize and speak Scripture out loud with specific meanings and inflections. It is a 21st century update of the very first widely-distributed version of the Holy Bible in English, The Geneva Bible.

As featured on Bible Gateway, the Witness the Bible series is designed to help believers and seekers activate the reality of Jesus and his love for us. The text is taken entirely from the Revised Geneva Translation. Witness the Bible: Esther is the sixth volume in the series.
