The Story Of How I Wrote The Bible…Documentary
I wrote a Bible documentary in 2005 called Unlocking Ancient Secrets of the Bible hosted by Sir Roger Moore. The way I got the job was a hoot. I saw a posting on Craigslist asking for a writer for a Bible documentary and applied. While I had a Masters degree in...
