Let’s read again that living story of His birth, His life, His death…and beyond. The book of Luke, written in EasyEnglish using simple words, will help us all to understand what lies at the heart of Christmas.
There are two new items on our website which you really must look at! “The King who did not obey God“ is a simple translation of 1 Samuel, in Level A EasyEnglish (1200 word vocabulary). This book begins with the lovely story of the birth and childhood of Samuel, and that special night when God came to his bedside and spoke directly to the little boy. But the book goes on to tell of God’s call to Saul, Israel’s first king. There follows the sad story of his disobedience and eventual downfall. However, please don’t give up because running alongside is the wonderful account of David, God’s choice for the next king – “A man after My own heart who shall do all My will.” (Acts 13:22)
The other new item is “Alive and new, with Christ“, a Level A translation of Colossians. This short book is a letter from the apostle Paul, written whilst he was in prison for preaching the Good News of Jesus Christ. Paul was troubled because the Gentile Christians in Colossae were being told that they should live like Jews. Paul explains to them that they have been saved by Jesus Christ and they are “complete in Him” (chap.2:10). This letter gives us a wonderful picture of the Lord Jesus, in all His dignity and glory. It is the perfect book to read after you have finished Luke’s Gospel. You will discover here just what God thinks of His beloved Son.
