            (a) The Company hereby agrees to sell to the Purchaser and the
Purchaser hereby agrees to purchase from the Company units (each, a "B Unit" and
collectively, the "B Units") at a price of US$1.00 per B Unit for an aggregate
subscription price (the "Subscription Price") of US$
______________________________, all in accordance with the terms set forth in
this Subscription Agreement. Each B Unit consists of a Fifteen percent (15%)
US$1.00 principal amount (the "Principal") debenture (the "B Unit Debenture"),
1.5 shares (the "B Unit Subscription Shares") of the $.001 par value common
stock of the Company (the "Common Stock") and 0.75 warrants (the "B Unit
Warrants") to purchase shares of Common Stock (the "B Unit Warrant Shares").
Each B Unit Warrant will, upon exercise thereof pursuant to the terms and
conditions included therein, entitle the holder thereof to purchase one (1) B
Unit Warrant Share. In addition, the Purchaser shall be entitled to a pro rata
portion of certain royalty payments (the "Subject Royalties") to be made to the
holders of all of the B Unit Debentures purchased as part of the Current
Offering (as hereinafter defined) and which Subject Royalties are described as
part of the B Unit Debentures. The forms of the B Unit Debenture and the Warrant
Agreement are attached hereto as a part of composite Exhibit 1.(a). THIS
SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT ONCE EXECUTED BY THE COMPANY AND THE PURCHASER IS
IRREVOCABLE.

            (b) The closing (the "Closing") of the purchase of the B Units under
this Subscription Agreement shall occur within five (5) business days after the
execution hereof by the Purchaser.

            (c) Within fourteen (14) business days after the Closing, the
Company shall issue and deliver to Purchaser: (i) that number of B Unit
Subscription Shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying: (a) the
Subscription Price by (b) 1.5; and (ii) that number of B Units Warrants equal to
the product obtained, rounded, if necessary, to the nearest whole number, by
multiplying: (a) the Subscription Price by (x) .75.

            (d) The Company and the Purchaser have agreed that the value of each
Subscription Share is $0.08 (the "Subscription Share Valuation") and that the
value of each B Unit Warrant is $0.04 (the "B Unit Warrant Valuation").

            (e) The Company shall, as a condition precedent to the obligation of
the Purchaser to acquire the B Units, provide to Purchaser an opinion of counsel
(the "Opinion of Counsel") reasonably acceptable to Purchaser which Opinion of
Counsel shall indicate that, subject to the exceptions, qualifications and
limitations stated therein, in a properly presented case under current Florida
law, brought in regard to the enforcement of paragraphs 6.(f) and 6.(i) hereof
(the "Subject Paragraphs"), a Florida court exercising jurisdiction over such
case would enforce the Subject Paragraphs.

            (f) The terms associated with the Subject Royalties shall be as
described in the B Unit Debenture.

      2. Representations and Warranties of Purchaser. The Purchaser
acknowledges, represents, warrants and agrees as follows:

            (a) The purchase of the B Units involves a high degree of risk, in
that:

                  (i) an investment in the B Units is highly speculative, and
      only those parties that can afford the loss of the entire investment
      should consider investing in the B Units;

                                       2
<PAGE>

                                                                     EXHIBIT 4.1

                  (2) Purchaser may not be able to liquidate an investment in
      the B Unit Debenture, the B Unit Subscription Shares, the B Unit Warrants
      or the B Unit Warrant Shares; and

                  (3) Purchaser could sustain the loss of Purchaser's entire
      investment in the B Units.

            (b) This Subscription Agreement has not been reviewed by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") or any state securities agency.
The B Unit Debenture, the B Unit Subscription Shares, the B Unit Warrants and
the B Unit Warrant Shares have not be registered under the Securities Act of
1933 (the "Act") and/or applicable state securities laws and/or the securities
laws of any foreign jurisdiction (collectively, the "Securities Laws") and are
"Restricted Securities" as such term is defined by Rule 144 under the Act.

            (c) None of the SEC, any state securities agency or any securities
agency of any foreign jurisdiction has made any finding or determination of the
fairness or suitability for investment in or any endorsement of Company or of
the B Units.

            (d) The price of the B Units should not be considered as an
indication of any price at which the B Unit Debenture may be subsequently sold
or the price at which any of the B Unit Subscription Shares, the B Unit Warrants
or the B Unit Warrant Shares may trade in the future.

            (e) In addition to the other acknowledgments, representations,
warranties and agreements contained herein, in the event Purchaser is other than
a natural person, Purchaser represents and warrants that:

                  (1) The Purchaser is duly organized, validly existing and in
      good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, and
      has all requisite power and authority to purchase and hold the B Unit
      Debenture, the B Unit Subscription Shares and the B Unit Warrants that
      form the B Units.

                  (2) The decision to invest by the Purchaser, the execution and
      delivery of this Subscription Agreement by the Purchaser, the performance
      by the Purchaser of its obligations hereunder and the consummation by the
      Purchaser of the transaction contemplated hereby have been duly authorized
      and no other proceedings on the part of the Purchaser is necessary.

                  (3) The person executing this Subscription Agreement on behalf
      of the Purchaser has all right, power and authority to execute and deliver
      this Subscription Agreement on behalf of the Purchaser. This Subscription
      Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Purchaser and,
      assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery hereof by the
      Company, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the
      Purchaser, enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its terms,
      except as the same may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
      reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the rights of
      creditors generally and the availability of equitable remedies.

            (f) In addition to the other acknowledgments, representations,
warranties and agreements contained herein, in the event Purchaser is a natural
person, Purchaser represents and warrants that he or she has reached the age of
majority in the jurisdiction in which he or she resides and has the legal
capacity to purchase and hold the B Unit Debenture, the B Unit Subscription
Shares and the B Unit Warrants that form the B Units.

                                       3

                                                                     EXHIBIT 4.1

            (g) Purchaser is an accredited investor (an "Accredited Investor")
as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Act in
that, among other things, the personal net worth or past and anticipated income
of Purchaser are in excess of the amounts required pursuant to such rule.

            (h) The Purchaser is able to bear the economic risks of the
investment in the B Units and, consequently, without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, is able to hold the B Unit Debenture, the B Unit Subscription
Shares and the B Unit Warrants that form the B Units for an indefinite period of
time and has a sufficient net worth to sustain a loss of the entire investment
in the B Unit Debenture, the B Unit Subscription Shares and the B Unit Warrants
in the event such loss should occur.

            (i) The B Units are being acquired by the Purchaser for the
Purchaser's own account with no intention of selling, assigning or otherwise
disposing of any participation or interest therein, and not with a view toward
the distribution thereof.

            (j) The Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and
business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an
investment in the B Units and of protecting the Purchaser's interests in
connection with this transaction, or Purchaser has employed the services of an
investment advisor, attorney or accountant to review any documents furnished or
made available by Company to Purchaser in connection with the purchase of the B
Units by Purchaser in order to evaluate, on behalf of Purchaser, the merits and
risks of an investment in the B Units. The Purchaser recognizes that an
investment in the B Units involves a high degree of risk and that the Purchaser
may lose the entire investment in the B Units.

            (k) The terms upon which Purchaser has agreed to acquire the B Units
is set forth in this Subscription Agreement and the documents and instruments
executed by and between Purchaser and the Company in connection therewith.
Purchaser has been encouraged to review all filings of the Company with the SEC
which are available at an internet site maintained by the SEC at
http://www.sec.gov. THE PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT PURCHASER HAS HAD THE
OPPORTUNITY TO ASK QUESTIONS OF AND RECEIVE ANSWERS FROM A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE
COMPANY, AND THAT PURCHASER HAS OBTAINED FROM THE COMPANY OR OTHERWISE SUCH
INFORMATION OR DATA AS PURCHASER MAY DEEM APPROPRIATE IN ORDER TO PROVIDE THE
PURCHASER WITH THE BASIS OF MAKING AN INFORMED INVESTMENT DECISION WITH RESPECT
TO THE PURCHASE OF B UNITS. Except as may be set forth herein, no
representations or warranties have been made to Purchaser by Company or any
agent, employee or affiliate of Company, as a condition to executing this
Subscription Agreement, and Purchaser is not relying on any information other
than that which results from the independent investigation of Purchaser.

            (l) Purchaser understands that the Company is currently seeking to
raise (the "Current Offering") as much as Eight Million Five Hundred Thousand
Dollars (US$8,500,000.00) through the sale of units which are substantially the
same as the B Units being purchased by Purchaser pursuant hereto, and in that
regard it may execute subscription agreements with other parties for the sale of
units substantially the same as the B Units purchased by Purchaser pursuant
hereto (the "Other Units"). Subject to the A Unit Investor Rights, the Company
may at anytime and from time to time offer additional securities of the Company
to such parties and in such manner as may be deemed appropriate by the Company
(collectively, the "Subsequent Issuances"). Purchaser further understands that
in connection with the Subsequent Issuances, the Company may, subject to the A
Unit Investor Rights, offer rights, preferences or privileges which are more or
less favorable to any potential purchaser than those offered by the Company
pursuant to this Subscription Agreement and the Company makes no representation
or warranty to the Purchaser in regard to any term or condition that may be
offered in connection with any such Subsequent Issuance. As a result of the sale
by the Company of the Other Units

                                       4
<PAGE>

                                                                     EXHIBIT 4.1

or as a result of the Subsequent Issuances, the percentage ownership of the then
existing stockholders of the Company will be reduced and such stockholders may
experience dilution.

            (m) Purchaser understands that NOTWITHSTANDING THE FACT THAT A
LIMITED PUBLIC MARKET MAY PRESENTLY EXIST FOR OTHER SECURITIES OF THE COMPANY,
neither the B Unit Debentures, the B Unit Subscription Shares, the B Unit
Warrants nor the B Unit Warrant Shares can be sold publicly. Furthermore,
Purchaser understands that at such time as any of the foregoing may be sold
publicly there is no assurance that a public market will then exist.

            (n) Purchaser understands that none of the B Unit Debentures, the B
Unit Subscription Shares, the B Unit Warrants, the B Unit Warrant Shares or the
offer and sale thereof have been registered under the Act or under the
Securities Laws, that the transfer of any and all of the foregoing is restricted
and that the same must be held indefinitely unless any of same are subsequently
registered under the Act or any applicable Securities Laws or an exemption from
registration is available to Purchaser. Purchaser understands that Company is
the only party that may register any of the foregoing under the Act or under the
Securities Laws and that Company is under no obligation to do so except as
specifically set forth in that certain Registration Rights Agreement (as
hereinafter defined) executed as of even date herewith.

            (o) The Purchaser is not subscribing for the B Units as a result of,
nor is the Purchaser aware of, any advertisement, article, notice or other
communication published in any newspaper, magazine, or similar media or
broadcast over television or radio, or presented at any seminar or meeting with
respect to the B Units or the Company. The Purchaser may have received a term
sheet (the "Term Sheet") from the Company which Term Sheet is intended by the
Company to serve solely as a summary description of the Current Offering.

            (p) Purchaser understands that a legend (the "Legend") will be
placed on the B Unit Debenture, the certificate representing the B Unit
Subscription Shares, the B Unit Warrants and the B Unit Warrant Shares stating
that the each of same has not been registered under the Act or other applicable
Securities Laws and setting forth or referring to the restrictions on
transferability and sale thereof. The form of the Legend is attached hereto as
Exhibit 2.(p).

            (q) Purchaser acknowledges, understands and agrees that in any and
all matters relating to the Current Offering, including but not necessarily
limited to the B Unit Debentures, the Subject Royalties, and the Related
Agreements (as hereinafter defined), any action relating thereto shall be
determined by the holders of a majority (based upon the original principal
amounts of the B Unit Debentures purchased as part of the Current Offering) of
all of the B Unit Debentures purchased as part of the Current Offering.

      3. Representations, Warranties and Covenants by Company. Company hereby
represents and warrants to and covenants with Purchaser that as of the date
hereof and the date of issuance by the Company of the B Unit Debenture, the B
Unit Subscription Shares, the B Unit Warrants and the B Unit Warrant Shares:

            (a) Company is a corporation duly organized, existing and in good
standing under the laws of the State of Florida and has the corporate power to
conduct the business presently conducted by it.

            (b) The execution, delivery and performance of this Subscription
Agreement by Company has been duly approved by the board of directors (the
"Board") of Company and all other

                                       5
<PAGE>

                                                                     EXHIBIT 4.1

actions required to authorize and effect the offer and sale of the B Units to
Purchaser has been duly taken and approved.

            (c) The B Unit Debentures, the B Unit Subscription Shares, the B
Unit Warrants and the B Unit Warrant Shares are duly authorized. The B Unit
Subscription Shares and the B Unit Warrant Shares, when issued in accordance
with the terms hereof or the B Unit Warrants, as the case may be, will be fully
paid and non-assessable with no personal liability attaching thereto.

            (d) The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of
300,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 200,000,000 shares of preferred stock,
par value $.001 per share (the "Preferred Stock"). Without giving effect to the
issuance of the B Units, any Other Units and any Subsequent Issuances, as of the
date hereof, there are approximately 47,000,000 shares of Common Stock issued
and outstanding and 1,550,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding.
Such Series B Preferred Stock provides, among other things, for the ability to
convert the Series B Preferred Stock into 1,550,000 shares of Common Stock.
Other than certain warrants (the "A Unit Warrants") issued by the Company in
connection with those certain existing debentures issued by the Company (the "A
Unit Debentures"), which A Unit Warrants are exercisable for approximately
3,100,000 shares of Common Stock, such investor rights provided by the Company
to purchasers of the A Unit Debentures (the "A Unit Investor Rights"), the right
of Red Brook Developments Ltd. ("Red Brook") to convert certain loans to the
Company into A Units, and the right of Moe Colson ("Colson") to convert a loan
in the amount of $150,000 into 150,000 A Units, there are no outstanding or
authorized options, warrants, purchase rights, subscription rights, conversion
rights, exchange rights, or other contracts or commitments that could require
the Company to issue, sell, reserve or otherwise cause to become outstanding
additional shares of its capital stock. The Company expects to implement an
incentive stock option plan for up to 5,000,000 shares of its Common Stock. The
holders of outstanding shares of the Common Stock are entitled to receive
dividends out of assets legally available therefor at such times and in such
amounts, if any, as the Board from time to time may determine. Holders of Common
Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a
vote of stockholders. Other than a certain stockholder agreement between Pan
Zone Co., Ltd. and Covenant Film Productions Limited Partnership, the Company is
not aware of any agreement between any of its stockholders which would affect
the right of the owner of its Common Stock to exercise such owner's right to
vote such Common Stock. Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to
one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders.
Holders of the Common Stock are not entitled to preemptive rights, and the
Common Stock is not subject to conversion or redemption. Other than such
registration rights provided by the Company to purchasers of the A Unit
Debentures and the Registration Rights Agreement to be executed by the Company
in connection with the Current Offering, the Company is not a party to any
agreement which would obligate the Company to undertake any registration of its
securities.

            (e) The execution and delivery of this Subscription Agreement, the B
Unit Debentures, the B Unit Warrants, the Registration Rights Agreement (as
hereinafter defined) and any security agreements executed by the Company in
connection with the B Unit Debentures (the "Subject Security Agreements"), the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement,
the B Unit Debentures, the B Unit Warrants, the Registration Rights Agreement
and the Subject Security Agreements (hereinafter collectively referred to as the
"Related Agreements") and the issuance of the B Units will not conflict with or
result in a violation of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default
under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or
encumbrance upon any property or asset of the Company or its Subsidiaries (as
hereinafter defined) pursuant to:

                  (1) the articles of incorporation or bylaws of Company;

                                       6
<PAGE>

                                                                     EXHIBIT 4.1

                  (2) any bond, debenture, note or other evidence of
      indebtedness, any other material agreement or instrument to which Company
      or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which Company or any of the
      property of Company or any of its Subsidiaries may be bound; or

                  (3) of any material order, rule, regulation, writ, injunction
      or decree of any government, governmental instrumentality or court,
      domestic or foreign.

            (f) Company will not pay any placement fees to any party in
connection with the Current Offering.

            (g) Company shall, if Purchaser so requests, permit the transfer of
the B Unit Debentures, the B Unit Subscription Shares, the B Unit Warrants and
the B Unit Warrant Shares out of the name of Purchaser when a request therefor
is accompanied by an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to Company to
the effect that neither the sale nor the proposed transfer results in a
violation of the Act or other applicable Securities Laws and/or conformity with
any Legend placed upon any document, instrument or certificate representing the
foregoing.

            (h) Company shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary, to: (i)
undertake any financing (debt, equity or combination thereof); (ii) incur any
indebtedness; (iii) permit any liens or other encumbrances on its assets
(tangible or intangible); or (iv) sell any or all of its assets (tangible or
intangible) other than in the ordinary course of business consistent with past
practice.

            (i) For the purposes hereof, "Subsidiary" means any corporation of
which the Company (or a Subsidiary thereof) owns a majority of the common stock
or has the power to vote or direct the voting of sufficient securities to elect
a majority of the directors. The Company presently has two wholly-owned
subsidiaries, Visual Bible, Inc., a Florida corporation ("VB") and Visual Bible
(Canada), Inc., an Ontario, Canada corporation ("VB Canada"). VB Canada has one
wholly owned subsidiary, The Book of John, Inc., an Ontario, Canada corporation
("TBJ"). VB has one wholly-owned subsidiary, Visual Entertainment, Inc., a Texas
corporation ("VE"). VE has one wholly-owned subsidiary, Visual Entertainment
Music, LLC, a Texas limited liability company ("VEM"). Neither VB, VE nor VEM
currently engage in any business activity. All of the issued and outstanding
shares of capital stock of each Subsidiary of the Company and that of the
respective Subsidiaries of each Subsidiary have been duly authorized and are
validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable. Company holds of record and owns
beneficially all of the outstanding shares of each Subsidiary of Company, free
and clear of any restrictions on transfer (other than restrictions under the Act
and state securities laws), taxes, security interests, options, warrants,
purchase rights, contracts, commitments, equities, claims, and demands, except
to the extent of the security agreements executed by the Company in connection
with the A Unit Debentures (the "Existing Security Agreements"). Except in
connection with the Existing Security Agreements, there are no outstanding or
authorized options, warrants, purchase rights, conversion rights, exchange
rights, or other contracts or commitments that could require any of Company and
its Subsidiaries to sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of any capital stock of
any of its Subsidiaries or that could require any Subsidiary of Company to
issue, sell, or otherwise cause to become outstanding any of its own capital
stock. There are no outstanding stock appreciation, phantom stock, profit
participation, or similar rights with respect to any Subsidiary of the Company.
There are no voting trusts, proxies, or other agreements or understandings with
respect to the voting of any capital stock of any Subsidiary of the Company.
None of the Company nor its Subsidiaries controls directly or indirectly or has
any direct or indirect equity participation in any corporation, partnership,
trust, or other business association which is not a Subsidiary of the Company.

            (j) No consent, waiver, approval, order or authorization of, or
registration, declaration or filing with, any court, administrative agency or
commission or other federal, state, county,

                                       7

                                                                     EXHIBIT 4.1

local or foreign governmental authority, instrumentality, agency or commission
("Governmental Entity") or any third party is required by or with respect to the
Company or its Subsidiaries in connection with the execution and delivery of
this Subscription Agreement or the Related Agreements or the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except for such consents, waivers,
approvals, orders, authorizations, registrations, declarations and filings as
have been obtained and except for required approvals under the Existing Security
Agreements as to certain provisions of the Subject Security Agreements (the
"Required Approvals"). The Company shall timely seek and diligently pursue the
receipt of the Required Approvals.

            (k) Other than as set forth as a part of the filings of the Company
with the SEC, there is no action, suit or proceeding of any nature pending or,
to the Company's knowledge, threatened against the Company or any Subsidiary, or
their properties or any of their officers, directors or managers, in their
respective capacities as such nor, to the knowledge of the Company, is there any
reasonable basis therefor. To the Company's knowledge, there is no investigation
pending or threatened against the Company or any Subsidiary, or their properties
or any of their officers or directors by or before any Governmental Entity. No
Governmental Entity has at any time challenged or questioned the legal right of
the Company or any Subsidiary to conduct its operations as presently or
previously conducted.

            (l) The execution and delivery of this Subscription Agreement and
the Related Agreements by the Company does not, and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not, conflict with, or result
in any violation of, or default under (with or without notice or lapse of time,
or both), or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation of acceleration
of any obligation or loss of any benefit under (any such event, a "Conflict"):
(i) any provision of the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the Company or
(ii) any mortgage, indenture, lease, contract or other agreement or instrument,
permit, concession, franchise, license, judgment, order, decree, statute, law,
ordinance, rule or regulation applicable to the Company, the Subsidiaries or
their properties or assets, except that as a result of certain provisions of the
Subject Security Agreements the Company must obtain the Required Approvals in
order to undertake certain provisions of the Subject Security Agreements.

            (m) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is: (i) in
violation of its charter or bylaws; (ii) in default, and no event has occurred
which with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default, in the
due performance or observation of any term, covenant or condition contained in
any material indenture, mortgage or deed of trust, loan agreement or other
material agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which its is bound
or to which any of its properties or assets is subject; or (iii) in violation of
any law ordinance, governmental rule, regulation or court decree to which it or
its property or assets may be subject except, in the case of clause (ii) or
(iii), for any default or violation that could not reasonably be expected to
result in a material adverse change in the business, financial condition,
operations, results of operations, or future prospects of Company or any of its
Subsidiaries.

            (n) Company and its Subsidiaries possess all material consents,
licenses, permits, grants or other authorization issued by the Governmental
Entity (i) pursuant to which the Company and its Subsidiaries currently operate
or hold any interest in any of their properties or (ii) which is required for
the operation of their businesses or the holding of any such interests (herein
collectively called the "Company Authorizations"). The Company Authorizations
are in full force and effect and constitute all the Company Authorizations
required to permit the Company and its Subsidiaries to operate or conduct their
businesses or hold any interest in their properties.

            (o) The Company and its Subsidiaries have filed all tax returns
(federal, state and local) required to be filed by each of them, except that the
Company and its Subsidiaries are delinquent in the filing of federal, state and
local tax returns for the years 2000, 2001 and 2002. The Company expects

                                       8
<PAGE>

                                                                     EXHIBIT 4.1

to file all of such delinquent tax returns on or before November 30, 2003. The
Company does not believe that such returns when filed will require payment by
the Company of any taxes or other assessments, however, if such payments are
necessary, the Company, or its Subsidiary, as applicable will promptly pay the
same. All taxes shown to be due and payable on the returns for all years other
than 2000, 2001 and 2002, any assessments imposed and all other taxes due and
payable by the Company and its Subsidiaries will be paid prior to the time they
