Good News Australia (The Good News Version of the New Testament)
The Good News Version is a modern translation of the Bible in easy to understand English. (Translations in other languages are also available). The New Testament records the life and teaching of Jesus, and the teaching of the apostles.

God

"Introducing God" is a 7 week course aimed at introducing people to God and his plan of salvation for creation. The gospel is presented in a friendly, relaxed context (over a meal) with plenty of time for discussion and questions.

Each evening begins with a simple meal from 7.00pm and includes a video talk by Nicky Gumbel, coffee break, and an opportunity to meet in groups to discuss the talk.

A Fresh Start
"Sometimes I'm treated like a block of wood. Why doesn't God answer my prayers the way I want him to? Isn't being good, good enough? What is faith? How can God love me? I'm not perfect. Can I really believe the Bible?"
By answering these and many other of life's questions, John Chapman explains simply and humorously, how anyone may enter into new life with God through friendship with Jesus Christ.
