IN THE BEGINNING there was nothing. Nothing to hear. Nothing to feel. Nothing to see. Only emptiness. And darkness. And… nothing but nothing. But God was there. And God had a wonderful Plan…

Beautifully written and illustrated, The Jesus Storybook Bible invites children to discover for themselves that Jesus is at the centre of God’s great story of salvation. Suggested age 3-7.

This is the story of our Saviour – the strange starting scenes of this super-startling, supernatural Son. There’s a star, a stable, shepherds, sheep, star-scanning scientists and of course – our Saviour! And all these S words add up to a very S-y, very surprising, very splendid version of the Christmas story. Superb!

This new children’s book by Cameron Semmens reflects a truly Australian sense of humour – while telling the truly profound story of our saviour.

How do we encourage young people to read the bible? Submerge is a brand new daily reading booklet for 11-14 year olds.

SUbmerge consists of a printed Bible reading guide, supported by a website and leaders’ notes. Each week there are five days’ notes, together with an introductory section and a section to wrap up the theme and help young people respond. Young people are challenged to explore the Bible through different activities, through doing, saying, writing, drawing and listening, as well as reading and thinking.

A new, key feature to SUbmerge is accountability. Young people rarely develop a Bible reading habit on their own – usually it is only developed with the help of a significant outside Christian influence. SUbmerge will have a built-in accountability factor, either through encouragement from a youth leader and fellow youth group members as part of a cell/youth/Sunday group, through a website community or with support from parents.
