Description

Reading the Bible on a daily basis is quite a challenge. Many young people are instantly put off by the Bible's confusing structure, or it's ancient language, or because they can see no relevance in it for today's world. Some of the books in the Bible are historical, some are poetic, some are prophetic, some take the form of letters. The big question is - how does it all fit together?

Discover is a quarterly publication aimed at young people, specifically the 10-13 age group. It encourages a daily routine of Bible study and prayer, which hopefully sets a pattern for the rest of their lives. Editor Martin Cole realises the need of young people to find relevance for today in this ancient book and sets out to do so. Discover takes what are sometimes very complex Biblical truths and explains them clearly and simply for the younger Christian.

The Bible is not a novel, neither is it a straightforward history book. Why are there two Testaments? What are all those laws about? Who exactly was Jesus? How is he connected with Moses and all those others guys? Why did he have to die? What does all that weird stuff in Revelation mean...? Discover aims to answer these questions and more.

Keeps the children interested

 I switched to this for my children's Bible reading notes because the previous one used to prescribe long passages that were more demanding. 'Discover' has very manageable passages for my 11- and 13-year olds, and the little activities keep my children interested and I hope will bring them closer to hearing from God.

Terrific

 This is, by far, the best thing we have found for our daily Bible time with our kids. Insightful and written in a way that really keeps the attention. We have also purchased a subscription for our friends who have recently accepted Christ. Great stuff, keep it coming.
