"The Bible Sung To Music"
All Musicians & Bands Welcome
The website, "TheBibleRocks.com", is on a mission. It's goal is to expose people to the bible thru a song format.
Joe Bolf, a follower of Jesus for many years, realized that many people, including Christians, think the bible too hard to understand and never attempt reading it. Or read it very little.
Bolf found that even theology books like Romans and Galatians seem to come to life when sung to music. He is hoping that many people who would never open a bible or who read it very little will be exposed to it thru the exciting and entertaining format of song.
The Bible Rocks website was created to encourage any musician or band to begin recording the bible sung to music and to provide a home for them.
Bolf's band, the Joe Bolf Band, uses a rock / blues style of music. He looks forward to other bands using a variety of music styles. People have different tastes in music. Bolf looks forward to the day when there will be many links on this site for many different bands.
Musicians who would like to join him in this effort will soon discover that modern bibles are under copyright. Bolf spent a couple of months communicating with a bible publisher trying to understand how to put the bible to song without violating copyright, yet staying true to scripture. He shares this information on the site for musicians who would like to pursue this.

The Bible to Rock Music...Really! Yes, really! Joe came to faith in Christ the first Sunday He stepped into The Church of the Open Bible in Greenville, Maine where I was pastor in the mid seventies. It seems like Joe was always music man. Now Joe has put the Living Word of God to Rock music, now that’s some cool. I like it Joe! Blessings brother.
