About Us
The Story of the Messiah is distributed by Sine Ministries a 501(c)(3) charitable organization whose mission is to provide resources to individuals and organizations that proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Max Rondoni, project director, author and editor of The Story of the Messiah, assigned the copyright for the work to Sine Ministries in 2006.
The Story of the Messiah was designed to help people of all ages and backgrounds better understand and appreciate the life of Jesus Christ. Through donations, grants and product sales, Sine Ministries funds the translation, production and distribution of the program worldwide. Audio versions are already available in many of the world's major languages including English, Mandarin, Russian, Spanish, Ukrainian, Romanian, Cantonese, Bahasa and Nepali. Future production languages include Arabic, Hindi and Portuguese with many more to come.
The Story of the Messiah was also the result of a desire to create a true, integrated story of the life of Jesus Christ. Although there are all the elements of a great story within the Gospels, the Gospels do not constitute a story in and of themselves. The Story of the Messiah incorporates events from all four Gospels into a single story of the life of Jesus Christ in a format that is easy to understand.
The primary source for The Story of the Messiah was the Gospel itself. The author, Max Rondoni, first analyzed the Gospels and identified the 220 events that comprise the story. Max then categorized each event by its source whether it was located in just one Gospel or in several and organized them chronologically. Finally, these events were used to form a storyboard, complete with transitions and narration.
The Gospels can be complicated and difficult to understand without the assistance of other information, both historical and cultural. Different authors under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit wrote each of the four Gospels, and each Gospel is directed to a different audience. The Gospels do not provide biographies about people, nor were attempts made to record the events following a specific timetable. The Story of the Messiah combines the events of the Gospels with helpful historical and cultural background information, all arranged chronologically.
