The Living Christ series of Bible pictures illustrates the Life of Christ, from Creation to His second coming. It is particularly suited to bring the Gospel message and basic Christian teaching to oral communicators. The pictures are clear and brightly coloured to attract those who may not be used to visual teaching presentations.
Audio Recordings
Available in dozens of languages, the recordings and are designed to be played along with the pictures. Playback may be paused from time to time to give opportunity for questions, discussion and further explanations as necessary.
The recordings have been made, where possible, using mother tongue speakers with clear voices who are respected in the local community. Local music and songs are sometimes added between pictures. Various checking techniques are used to ensure the accuracy of translation and communication.
The recordings are available in MP3 format for downloading, and also CD and/or cassette format. (Not all formats are available in all every language.)

Appropriate local stories and applications may be added to the scripts to better illustrate the basic teaching of each picture-story.
