The idea to create The Rosary Tapes first came to Bill in prayer during the Summer of 1992.

​“I had just received a rejection letter for another one of my screenplays.  I was very frustrated.  So I went into my den, closed the door and began to pray.  I told God how frustrated I was that what I was trying to do wasn’t working out.  I remember what I prayed next, ‘For years I’ve always tried to do what I wanted to do.  Now I just want to do whatever it is that You want me to do.  Please tell me what to do, Lord."  “Right on cue, a really loud thought rushed into my head, ‘Turn around!’  So, I turned my chair around and stared at my recording set-up for what seemed like the longest time.  ‘OK, God, I turned around like You said.  Now what?’  Just then I remembered my rosary beads getting stuck in the track of my car seat driving to Detroit earlier in the day.  Timing is everything.“
