If you are a fan of this show, you need to get yourself a copy of The American Bible Challenge: A Daily Reader Volume 1, which is available on Amazon for $11.38! This book, written by the consulting producer for the show, Troy Schmidt, with a foreword written by host Jeff Foxworthy, isr based on The American Bible Challenge designed to take us deeper into the questions from the show and the life applications that they inspire.

Using many of the questions from the first season as a guide, each day features an inspiring lesson along with five challenging Bible questions to take you deeper into Scripture. The book guides the reader through nine weeks of study and encouragement—the same length of time as a season of The American Bible Challenge—with over three hundred questions to test your Bible knowledge. And don’t worry, all the answers are in the back we have had fun going through these questions as a family and this would make a great family devotional or an addition to a Sunday School class or small group.

The Show

Comedian and author, Jeff Foxworthy hosts this studio-based game in which contestants compete based on their knowledge of the Bible.  Utilizing current as well as historical references, questions will be drawn from the rich, dense narrative found in the world’s best-selling book.  The contestants will share their compelling back-stories and each team will be playing for a charitable organization. “The American Bible Challenge” is produced by RelativityREAL for GSN, with RelativityREAL’s Tom Forman (“Extreme Makeover: Home Edition”) and Embassy Row’s Michael Davies (“The Newlywed Game,” “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire”) serving as Executive Producers on the project.  Nick Stuart and Maura Dunbar of Odyssey Networks are Consulting Producers.

The Host

Comedian Jeff Foxworthy is the largest selling comedy-recording artist in history, a multiple Grammy® Award nominee and the best-selling author of 11 books. Widely known for his redneck jokes, his act goes beyond that to explore the humor in everyday family interactions and human nature.

My Thoughts

I had the opportunity to watch a preview of the show called “The Making of The American Bible Challenge” and I was truly touched. The teams competing on this show aren’t competing for themselves, they are playing for a charity or ministry of their choosing-they are giving back to their communities, not taking for themselves. During the show you will get to know the teams and their charity so you can form a bit of a bond as you choose which team to cheer for. Jordan, My 17yo son is one of the coaches for our church’s Junior Bible Quiz Team so this show is a great fit for our household. I think Jeff Foxworthy is a great choice for host of this show. His comedy is clean and funny, and he is a committed Christian who leads a Bible Study for homeless people on Tuesdays and has met with the same group of guys every Thursday for 15 years to study the Bible and do life together. The producers and host have worked hard to rightfully respect the Bible as God’s Holy Word while also sharing the contents of the Bible with a national television audience. This is a feat never attempted before and I can’t wait to watch. “The American Bible Challenge” premieres August 23 at 8/7c on Game Show Network.
