  Using the new BAP (Bible Adventure Phone) technology, you can talk to characters from the Bible. The transmitter sends signals down through the ages and into the Bible lands.
All you need is a special Bible Top Box to call the heroes and heroines of old using your normal phone. Finding a phone directory for Israel in the year 3400 BC may be a problem - perhaps make a special 'Golden Pages' directory for this series.
The idea of phone conversations with people in the Bible gives a lively way to tell the stories, and to think about the reactions of the people involved in those situations. The concept of phoning people in the Bible needs to be brought to life. You need a phone of some sort , either a toy or obsolete phone, or a real mobile phone. It can be fun, and helps the concept along, if you design a special Bible phone, that looks different from a normal phone (see Assembly 3 diagram).
