    About this ebook

    The book is a course of seven Bible studies. They address matters such as What is God’s Kingdom? What is God’s plan for man? What is christianity really about? The studies came from an extended examination of what Jesus taught, as recorded in the four Gospels, and what the prophets and apostles had to say. It was presented originally as an inter-church Lent course.

    The studies give an alternative approach to christianity, having in mind christians who want to delve more thoughtfully into their faith. It also addresses the 35% of western populations who may consider themselves christians but do not go to a church, and the churches to which they do not go.

    The studies promote a relationship with God and a living out of our faith.

    Jim Prestidge

    Jim has behind him a lifetime of Bible reading. He uses a variety of Bible translations and computer technology. Jim has travelled extensively in most of the continents, worshipping with christians of differing christian traditions and cultural environments. He draws on his wife’s studies of Bible background. Jim and his wife spent time in Israel, the land of the Bible. It was a prayer and study tour, with other christians and Messianic Jews. They visited the places of the Bible, reading what happened there, and praying peace on Jerusalem. Jim wants the Bible to speak for itself. He wants to revive Bible reading. He wants Bible study to be guided, not by church doctrines, nor by commentators, nor by videos, nor by Jim, but by the Holy Spirit. Jim aims to expose the real Jesus and his message: God enters our understanding of his world and how to fit in.

      The Bible Is Not Open To Personal Interpretation

      Sep 23, 2022

      What a beautiful scripture above – this is a solid motivation to meditate on God’s Word. Yet, believe it or not, there are some Christians who deem this Scripture to be an ‘arrogant’ or ‘self-righteous’ declaration. I am so grateful that I’ve had str
