Discovering the Bible
If a christening is the start of an amazing journey, the Bible is an amazing book – a map for that journey. There is adventure and excitement, mystery and wonder. There are really well known stories – like Noah or the Christmas story – and new ones to discover.
“It’s full of human stories – of love, greed, joy, loss and passion. It’s vital to our culture. It’s part of the answer to the world’s needs. It’s cherished by billions of people around the world. It’s more than a book.” Bible Society
