The Bible Reading Fellowship

One of the most important sources of support, information, and inspiration for Christians is the Bible. Regular reading of both the Old and New Testament is not only necessary but in a sense obligatory if we are to understand and grow our spiritual life in GOD. In today's world it is not always easy to set time aside on a regular basis to read our Bibles. This is where Bible Notes, such as those produced by the Bible Reading Fellowship, can help. These notes give a passage of Scripture, explanatory notes, and a prayer, for each day of the year, and are designed to help regular reading.
I have samples of the two main booklets available, 'New Daylight' and 'Guidelines', which you can take away and study. There are three issues per year, starting on 1st May, followed by further notes issued for 1st September, and 1st January 2007. A year's subscription for either booklet costs £10.05. The large print version of 'New Daylight' costs £14.97. Copies can be posted to your home, but otherwise are made available for collection from the back of Church prior to the issue date.

May 1st is the start of the Bible Readers' 'year' - the start of a fresh series of the Bible notes issued by the Bible Reading Fellowship, and the moment when existing readers renew their subscriptions for a further year.

It is also a good moment for those who find it difficult to make the time to regularly read the Bible. A series such as 'New Daylight', which has a short separate section of Scripture for each day of the month, is designed to help overcome this difficulty. These notes have a selected passage from the Bible, notes to amplify or explain that passage, and a prayer or thought for the day.

If this strikes a chord with you, please contact me on 2738888. I can show you what these notes look like, and if you want to join the Group for which I obtain Bible Reading Notes, this I can arrange.
