Guide to Bible Reading

There are many people who have never opened its pages, never even dipped a toe in the water, so to speak. Like the man who has never seen the sea, their minds have never been opened to these broad horizons, these new perspectives which the Bible presents to us. There are others who occasionally dip into its pages to read again a familiar and much loved passage, as they might resort to an aspirin or tranquillizer in time of stress.

The Bible deserves better than that − God's Word has so much to offer us if we open our minds to its message in its completeness. But reading the Bible from cover to cover is a daunting prospect for most people. Whilst ... If you want more download it: ... Download Link

Jesus Christ

The Bible has much to say about the life and teaching of Jesus and there is ample independent evidence to verify that he actually existed. The Bible names many eyewitnesses, such as the Apostle Peter, who after the ascension of Jesus to heaven preached in Jerusalem saying: 'Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs which God did through him in your midst, as you yourselves also know Him, being delivered by the carefully planned intention and foreknowledge of God, you have taken by lawless hands, have crucified, and put to death; whom God raised up...'

Baptism

Baptism must be very important because it is referred to so many times in the Bible. There are over 100 mentions of the word 'baptise' or directly related words in the New Testament. Baptism featured prominently in the teaching of Jesus and in the preaching and the actions of his apostles - Paul, Peter and Philip in particular.
