Read The Bible

If you need to buy a new Bible we recommend the New International Version (NIV),  the New Revised Standard Version (NRSV), or the English Standard Version (ESV).

online bible

The text of the Bible is available online.  You can search for passages in different versions. This may also help you decide which version you want to buy.

Where to start

If you want to find out about the Christian Faith we suggest you start with the life and teachings of Jesus. So start with Mark's gospel (it is the shortest) or John's gospel (it gives a different perspective to the other three).

Read An Explanation

A Fresh Start

By John Chapman published by Matthias Media

"Sometimes I'm treated like a block of wood. Why doesn't God answer my prayers the way I want him to? Isn't being good, good enough? What is faith? How can God love me? I'm not perfect. Can I really believe the Bible?"

By answering these and many other of life's questions, John Chapman explains simply and humorously, how anyone may enter into new life with God through friendship with Jesus Christ. 

This excellent book can be obtained from Christian bookshops worldwide (ISBN 1875245693).
