I am thrilled… I have had the privilege of witnessing these performances numerous times, and I can verify that each one is presented with great respect for the Scriptures. While Reg is creative and colorful in his approach, he is accurate and reliable in his portrayal of each personality. In addition, his presentations are Invariably practical, strongly connected to the “real world” we live in, with riveting applications.

I must add that each one is wonderfully entertaining for all ages, with delightful touches of humor inserted at just the right moments, always appropriately. Therefore, I endorse this website with utmost confidence. Having often invited him to present these characters when Insight for Living sponsors our events, tours, and cruises, I have had ample opportunities to observe the audiences’ response: they always want more. So will you!

  • Reg Grant’s performances have blessed me –

    I’m reaching out to let you know how great Reg Grant’s performances have blessed me – the package not only included the videos but also leader and study guides. I encourage you hopefully to subscribe to the videos and materials (the list is actually more than what he presented to us at the Holy Land locations), especially now that most are at home studying or working from home.

  • I was also impressed with the depth of insight…

    I recently received the videos and study guides that Reg Grant produced. We all saw how moving his performances of the Biblical characters were on our trip in the large amphitheater settings. What surprised me was that the close-up shots on the videos were even more moving, as I saw the nuanced facial expressions and subtle humor. I was also impressed with the depth of insight in the study notes.

For years I have watched the genius of Dr. Reg Grant in bringing biblical characters to life on stage and screen. What sets Reg apart is the depth of his research and the deftness of his ability to bring Scriptural truths truth to life with creativity, clarity and conviction.

Characters

Barnabas

“What’s in a name?” Shakespeare asked. Well, if you were Jewish, that was a very important question. “What’s in a name?” “The character of the man, that’s what’s in a name!”

Esau

Revenge, they say, is a dish best served cold. Esau was a hungry man and had an appetite for vengeance against his brother, Jacob, who had taken his birthright and his blessing.

Fishboy

Some chase greatness and are never full. Others have it forced on them and choke. Then there are the precious few who discover true greatness in feeding others.

Jabesh

He was just a common man. Until he joined a few of his town folk, a small group of honorable men, who decided that enough was enough, and it was time to take a stand against evil.

John on Patmos

When we think of John on the Isle of Patmos, we think of the book of Revelation. It was here that John received his visions of the end times. But have you ever wondered what it was like for John in those days?

Jonah

What if God called us to carry His word into the black heart of the Islamic State? And what if – despite our reluctance and the brevity of our message – the jihadists repented and God saved them?

Joseph, Husband of Mary

A promise is only as good as the person who makes it. And Joseph was a good man. A righteous man. Joseph kept his promises. But what would he do when the one he loved most broke hers?

Peter

Peter was a blue-collar fisherman long before he was an apostle. He knew the satisfaction of a great catch. He knew the frustration of long nights and empty nets. But Peter was in for a surprise!

Simeon

Keeping a promise takes commitment. Believing in a promise takes faith. The longer the promise is delayed, the stronger the faith must be. Simeon would discover, the greater the reward when the promise is fulfilled.

Uriah

A king is not weakest when he is worn out from battle. Nor when he believes himself to be invincible in battle. He is weakest when the battle bores him – when he leaves the fighting to better men. Like Uriah.

Opal, or Mademoiselle Francoise marie de Bourbon-orleans?

Opal: a descendant of French aristocracy? Or was she mad?

Dr. Reg Grant explores the mystery surrounding this fascinating woman. Committed to a mental hospital outside London for over 40 years, Opal never waivered in her insistance that she was adopted, and that her “Angel Father” was the Duke of Oleans.

  • The diary Opal wrote when she was six became a best-seller.
  • Ice baths, and shock therapy failed to “settle her down.”
  • She never gave up.
