The Bible Premiers on History Channel This Sunday

This post and giveaway brought to you by History Channel.

I don't know about you, but I'm really looking forward to the new History Channel miniseries The Bible.  It starts this Sunday 3/3/13 at 8pm ET/7pm CT.  From Executive Producers Roma Downey and Mark Burnett, The Bible is an epic 10-part miniseries retelling stories from the Scriptures for a whole new generation.

Check out this cool The Bible app from the History Channel.  New clips from the series will be unlocked every day as a countdown to the premiere.  Also be sure to take the Bible-scene Quiz where the Questions is...will you recognize your favorite characters when you see them for the first time in the series?


You can also use the app to spread the word and tell all of your friends about this series using the Tell 10 Challenge.

History Channel has also agreed to give an official The Bible companion book to one lucky reader. (Prize will be chosen randomly from the book titles below!)

• A Story of God and All of Us (HARDCOVER)
• A Story of God and All of Us (REFLECTIONS)
• A Story of God and All of Us (YOUNG READERS)

To enter, just leave me a comment letting me know how you did on the Bible-scene quiz or sharing what Bible story you are most interested in seeing come to life through this series.  I'm reading about King David right now, so I'm really looking forward to seeing that.  And the rest of it, too.

Giveaway is open to US readers, and all entries must be received by 11:59pm  March 15, 2013.  Good luck!
