It Is Written is an international Christian television ministry dedicated to sharing insights from God's Word with people around the world. Founded in 1956 by George Vandeman, the theme of this ministry can be found in Matthew 4:4: "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.'" It Is Written has been positively impacting lives around the world for the last 56 years through former speaker/directors George Vandeman, Mark Finley and Shawn Boonstra, and current speaker/director John Bradshaw. Each weekly program takes timeless truths and applies them to everyday life. Programs regularly deal with such issues as loneliness, fear, low self-esteem, health, family values and spiritual principles. People of all faiths and creeds—even those with no faith at all—have been inspired and encouraged through It Is Written's straightforward and uplifting presentations.
