Booklets
A selection of booklets are described below. Other titles are also available - if there is some other subject you would like to know about, please let us know!
After Death - What?
The Bible's Answer
There is no escaping the reality of
death. All human resources are powerless to restore a
dead person to life. Many people find some comfort in the
idea of a mysterious inner life called "the soul".
But do we trust our own feelings or "intuition"?
The Bible from first to last declares itself to be a
message from God. It deserves our sincere attention.
Bible Prophecy
Convincing Proof that God Exists
Although prophecy is not just predicting
the future, this booklet concentrates on that aspect. The
Bible says quite definitively that the power to foretell
the future belongs to God alone. The fact that past
prophecies have come true demonstrate that prophecies of
yet to be fulfilled will be.
Christ and Protest
The Bible Answer to Revolution and Human Rights
While some protest actions are peaceful,
others are vigourously political, and some resort to
violence. But how should the follower of the Lord Jesus
Christ react? The Christian's life is directed, not by
prevailing circumstances, but by the commands of his
heavenly Father.
Christ is Coming!
Bible Teaching About His Return
This booklet reviews Bible teaching
about the Second Coming, both the events that will lead
up to that miracle and the reason for the Lord's Return.
Both Old and New Testaments consistently show that the
coming Kingdom of God will transform human experience.
The Christian and Politics
What does the Bible say?
Should a Christian take part in
politics? Vote in elections or join political parties?
Through an examination of how God reveals His manifesto
for the world, and by looking into the examples of
faithful Christians in the Bible, we find that the answer
will surprise many.
The Crisis of the Cross of Christ
Why did Jesus Die?
It is impossible to read the gospels
without being forced to ask why one so innocent and
selfless as Jesus Christ should have suffered such a
brutal and shameful death. The Old and New testaments
show that in the death of Jesus we find both the love and
grace of God. The crucifixion was no accident; it was not
the day when everything went wrong. Instead, it was the
triumph of God.
Do You Believe in a Devil?
Bible Teaching on Temptation
Is the devil really a fallen angel with
hooves and a pitchfork? Find out what the Bible really
means by terms such as "devil" and "satan",
and how Christ has destroyed the devil.
Does God Hear Prayer?
The Bible Gives the Answer
What is prayer all about? Is it just an
exercise in bringing pleasant thoughts into the mind? No
- it is much more; a means of direct communication with
God. No prayer is disregarded when it comes from those
who sincerely seek Him. But the answer is not always
"yes". It may be "no" or "wait".
This booklet is concerned with Bible teaching on
the subject, and looks at examples of faithful prayer in
both New and Old Testaments.
The Holy Spirit
Bible Understanding of God's Power
Who or what is the Holy Spirit? What
part does the Holy Spirit occupy in the work of God?
Hope for a Hopeless World
The Marvelous Message of the Bible
Open a newspaper these days, listen to
the news on the radio or TV, and invariably you get the
impression of trouble. Our world is torn by strife -
strife between management and labour; strife between
political parties, and between nations. It is beset by
problems ... looming over all is the growing wold
economic crisis ... the developing nations are in debt to
the world banks ... with no prospect of ever being able
to repay the loans.
But there is one source amongst us
which has never misled us by encouraging false
expectations. It is the Bible.
Israel
God's People, God's Land
When the modern state of Israel came
into being in 1948, a major Bible prophecy was fulfilled.
Discover how this small nation is still at the heart of
God's purpose - for all of mankind - and why the return
of the Jews to God's land is a sign that Christ's coming
is near.
The Kingdom of God on Earth
God's Plan for the World
From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible
declares that God created this earth for a purpose. It is
to be inhabited, and the inhabitants will all know His
glory.
The Miracle of the Bible
The Word of God in Print
The Bible is accepted as one of the
greatest masterpieces of the world's literature. It is
quite unrivalled by any other work; but it is more than
this: the Bible claims to be the written Word of God.
One Bible - Many Churches
Does it Matter What We Believe?
This booklet looks at the dilemma of
having so many "Christian" traditions, and why
contradictory doctrines have grown up, each claiming to
be based on the same Word of God.
Jesus and his
apostles plainly opposed false teachings. A true follower
of Christ has a duty to read God's word with an open
mind, and to be convinced for themselves what God
requires of them.
Raised to Judgement
Bible Teaching About Resurrection and Judgement
The preaching of the Apostle Paul is
used as the basis of this examination of the gospel
message - that Jesus Christ had died and been raised
again - and the associated teaching concerning God's
judgement of mankind.
Why Baptism Really Matters
What We Must Do To Be Saved
No mere rite or ceremony, baptism is a
most significant event. It is both a simple act of
obedience, and at the same time a profound symbol of
identification with Christ - demonstrating that a
believer understands God's plan of salvation and is
turning away from the way of Adam.
Why Does God Allow Suffering?
The Bible Answer to Human Tragedy
God is not remote and passive. The
scriptures plainly reveal Him as having love and
compassion for His creation, and being grieved by the
evil in the world. He has intervened in the past, and
will intervene again to "wipe away all tears".
Your Share in God's Promises
Bible Teaching on "The Hope of Israel"
How do promises made to one man around 4,000
years ago have a bearing on our lives today? These
promises, reaffirmed to the faithful throughout the Old
Testament form the core of what the Apostle Paul termed
"The Hope of Israel". This booklet shows how
these promises are key to the faith of all followers of
Christ.
