About the film
Eden is a spoken word film, telling the story of scripture in four beats – creation, fall, redemption and new creation. Written and performed by Dai Woolridge, the story captures the essence of the Gospel and the Bible story in under five minutes.
The booklet
The Eden booklet is a physical resource created to accompany the spoken word film and is designed to get you thinking about God’s story through the Bible in a creative way. This is split into five sections – a creative introduction, a link to the spoken word film, the script of the spoken word poem, questions to reflect on, and a space to get creative yourself.
It can be used as a small group resource, a devotional to use personally, or as an alternative to a Bible or Gospel tract.
Your turn
Towards the back of your booklet you’ll find a page titled ‘Your Turn’ with a blank space underneath. The reason being, that just as Eden creatively unpacks the Bible story, you may want to have a go yourself? If you’re a poet laureate and creating a couple of couplets comes naturally to you, or if the thought of writing a poem sends you into a panic, our hope is that you have a go yourself. You won’t be judged with marks out of ten, we’d just love you to engage with the story.
Often, the hardest part of creating something is getting started.
