The Word On The Street
For those who have never read the Bible – and for those who have read it too much….
An electrically real re-telling of scripture that throws into vivid relief the stories, poetry and images that resonate fully with life today.
This is NOT ‘The Bible’ but it is likely to get anyone who hasn’t read the Bible yet reaching for one…..
A fanstastic outreach tool by Rob Lacey.
They Buy Back Scheme
“If you’re an Aussie, then this book is for you. Keep reading and find out that the dusty old Bible on the shelf, written to a Middle Eastern audience nearly 2000 years ago, speaks to YOU, NOW.
And if you listen carefully, it’s change you forever.”
For those (particularly youth and young adult) who think the Bible is boring, Irrelevent, Gobbledegood and a fairy tale!
Recommended by secondary schools ministry specialist, Naomi Swindon.
