TMC Entertainment is offering a three-hour miniseries based on Bruce Feiler's best-selling books "Walking the Bible: A Journey by Land Through the Five Books of Moses" and "Abraham: A Journey to the Heart of Three Faiths," according to TMC president and CEO Drew Levin.

The company has recently completed an agreement with the critically acclaimed author and journalist Bruce Feiler to produce and distribute two primetime three-hour documentary miniseries based on his books. "Walking the Bible" chronicles Feiler's epic journey through the Holy Land, including crossing the Red Sea, climbing Mount Sinai and touching the Burning Bush. The second book, "Abraham," is about another of Feiler's one-of-a-kind adventures as he searches for the man at the heart of the world's three great religions‹and today's deadliest conflicts.

"Walking the Bible," which goes into production shortly, and "Abraham," will be shot on high-definition video utilizing extensive CGI. Special eight-hour versions will be produced for release on DVD for direct-response distribution.

"Walking the Bible" has been on the New York Times bestseller list for over a year and has been translated into 15 languages. "Abraham" graced the cover of Time Magazine this past July.

"These are the most exciting and compelling properties I have had the privilege to produce," said Levin. "Bruce Feiler has taken the Bible, the sacred document of Christianity and Judaism, and the foundation upon which the Koran was written, and translated its stories and legends into a contemporary setting that literally allows the reader and now the viewer to experience these most precious chronicles of our forefathers, firsthand."

John Drury, former BBC head of factual programming, and Levin will executive produce both shows.

TMC is making its debut at MIP and will be bringing 90 hours of factual and reality programming including Bravo's "Page to Screen" and Discovery Channel's "Would You Believe It."
