Get to know the Bible ANYWHERE!
Last month I discovered my own website! When I brought out my book ‘Bible inBrief’, I arranged for most of it to be accessed within teh website. This I have just started to do, and it’s great! All the Bible passages come on your screen at teh touch of a button, and you can put up your own comments on teh passages for the edification of the world! Press “Read nada Discuss” and see how you get on!
How does it work?
Choose a week of readings you want to explore, and go through four stages:
- Read the chapter recommended once or twice.
- Reflect for a minute or so, finding a sentence or phrase that means something to you.
- Respond to the question - they’re not easy ones, they need some thought.
- Record your own thoughts about the question, either in writing in the book or in taking part in a discussion forum on line.
What if I don’t understand stuff?
There are a variety of helps in the book:
- a starting section which gives a brief outline of the Bible
- an introduction to each month’s topic
- notes wherever there are difficult words, like “Christ”, also where longer explanations are needed, e.g. for Romans 3.
- 4 sketch maps, archaeological drawings and a timeline for the prophets.
- a variety of “Bonus Features” at the book such as how different Christians approach the Bible, how to use chapters and verses, film recommendations etc.
