From its initial printing on the Gutenberg press in the 15th Century, the Bible has been the most widely published book in history.
Why is it that we have this one book on our shelves or coffee tables? Almost every person you ask would agree the Bible is an important book.
How often do we actually read the Bible? Do we understand what it means when we read it? How does the Bible apply to our lives?
The December 2011 issue of BSF Magazine has hit the classes' resources tables and is also available here by clicking on this cover. You'll find the latest news about BSF and a peek at what's ahead. Take a moment to enjoy while the staff at BSF Headquarters — and the website — take a two-week break before returning refreshed and renewed in the New Year.
Have a blessed Christmas.
