Two Roads

Two Roads--cover

Life is a journey—from the cradle to the grave.

And according to the Bible, there are really just two roads through life—God's road and our road.

This short booklet explains how we can start walking on God's road.

Two Roads has been adapted from the Two ways to live gospel outline. It explains the Christian gospel in simple, easy-to-read language. For more information about Two ways to live, go to www.twowaystolive.com.

So Many Questions—New edition

So Many Questions--New edition--cover

“How do I know God exists in the first place?” “Hasn't science disproved Christianity?” “Do you have to go to church to be a Christian?” When was the last time you were asked one of these sorts of questions? And when you were, did you know how to answer?

In a series of short sessions, So Many Questions will take you through 13 commonly asked questions about Christianity, helping you to work out what to say, and providing an ‘expert’ answer from which to learn. You'll also learn the basic principles behind all these answers. Presenters include: Tony Payne, Al Stewart, Claire Smith, Paul Grimmond and Chris Braga. Find out more.

The Art of Living

8 studies on Proverbs

The Art of Living--cover

“How should I live my life?” This is a pertinent question not just for Christians but for non-Christians too, judging by the shelves and shelves of self-help books you see in your local bookstore, and the letters pages of certain magazines. There are people wanting advice about all sorts of things, like “Which job should I take?”, “What should I say to my friend whose mother died recently?”, “What's the best thing to do in this situation?”, and so on. The answers come not just from self-help books and magazine columns, but from a variety of sources: your family, your friends, your colleagues, your minister and other people you respect. Some of it is common knowledge; some of it is folk wisdom. As the old sayings go, “Too many cooks spoil the broth”, “A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush” and “Don't count your chickens before they hatch”.

However, when it comes to the art of living, the book of Proverbs is really the best authority on how to live, because its wisdom is no less than the wisdom of God—the God who created it all and knows it all. Indeed, the most important lesson on wisdom that Proverbs has to teach can be found in the very first chapter: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge” (Prov 1:7).

Proverbs is filled with rich instruction on how to live—how to spend our money, how to work, what to say (and how to say it) and a whole host of other topics. In these studies, Bryson Smith helps you to understand what true wisdom is—and how true wisdom is ultimately found in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ. Find out more.
