Christmas in Fakenham
Each year, Fakenham Parish Church hold a Christmas Tree Festival, and regularly share Lifewords resources with those who attend.
Everyone is invited
This Christmas, St Bartholemew’s in Deeside are hosting a Christmas Celebration themed around Lifewords’ resource OUTSIDE/IN.
Anatomy of a Bible resource - Little Book of Advent
Framed around three core acts or stages, Little Book of Advent dwells in the waiting and anticipation centuries before the birth of Jesus, celebrates the promises about Jesus’ birth, life, death and resurrection and the fulfilment of the prophecies, and joins us in the now as we wait for Jesus’ promised return.
Strength for each day
Daniel, a Londoner, shares with us how significant Daily Strength was in his journey to giving his life to Christ.
Creative faith
"The Lifewords booklets are tremendous resources to use in reaching out to others, so that they may also enjoy the freedom, hope and peace which we, as believers, have in our own hearts."
Designed for life
In Glasgow’s east end, Lifewords specially designed Bible resources, in different languages, are bringing comfort to refugees and asylum seekers.
Stepping into joy
At the end of May, Lifewords joined a variety of charities, organisations and independent businesses at Big Church Festival. We went all out on the theme of JOY, showcasing our latest resource, Little Book of Joy, and inviting people to intentionally step into joy.
80 years of Daily Strength
First published in 1943, Daily Strength has taken on many different covers and forms over the last 80 years, has been translated into many languages and distributed across the globe. To mark the 80th anniversary we wanted to share some stories of how people have been and continue to be impacted by these resources.
Brick by brick
For years, people all over the world have been using Lifewords Little Books to help others engage with the Bible. Now, for the first time, the Little Books are available in an official, boxed collection, the Little Brick of Little Books.
Let God's words bring you hope
Available in printed form and as an animation in over 50 languages, Finding Hope guides the reader from the questions of ‘who cares?’ and ‘where is God?’ to a reminder that God is hope and that God can be trusted.
Sharing joy this Easter
Each of our Easter resources uses the Bible’s own words to invite people to reflect on the person of Jesus, his death on the cross and his resurrection from the grave.
Welcome into the Christmas story
The Christmas story is full of unlikely characters. None of them are obvious choices to witness God coming to earth. Those on the edge are brought into the heart of the story. The unremarkable places find themselves at the centre of the action.
Introducing children to the cast of the Christmas story
Our booklet Meet the Cast is a firm favourite for sharing the story of Christmas with children and families, and there are so many creative ways to explore the story and get to know the cast.
Bringing words of hope into the hands of soldiers
ASR Gavin Dickson, a former Scots Guardsman, reflects on sharing the words of the Bible with the soldiers he works alongside.
Small books with big truths
Our booklets may be small, but within them are words of life. They are built around verses from scripture and are designed to amplify the Bible. They are small books filled with big truths.
Anatomy of a Bible resource - A Story for the Whole World
A Story for the Whole World uses illustrations and patterns from around the globe to help readers reflect on the words from the Bible. Jess Bee spoke to Dan Chalke, designer of the resource, to find out more about how he used the images to help bring a new perspective to the Christmas story.
Anatomy of a Bible resource - The True Light
We love re-telling the narrative of Jesus’ coming, so that churches can share it in their communities. But have you ever wondered how to go about doing that differently again and again? Steve Bassett explains how a Bible resource is created, and how each one still holds the same DNA as the very first Scripture Gift Mission booklets did over 130 years ago.
OUTSIDE/IN: Behind-the-scenes
Meet the team behind OUTSIDE/IN to find out how it came about, and why its message is important.
