The King James Bible of 1611 saving book industry

The ABC Religious Affairs Compass program documentary on Sunday 1 May on the King James Bible of 1611 titled "When God spoke English. The making of the King James' Bible bought to light a number of fascinating aspects of its translation and final preparation." .

  • Reality TV teaches the art of encouragement (and how not to do it)

    I grew up in a household where there was an unsettling mood if for some reason the TV wasn\'t on. Usually it just meant the remote was missing and after a crazed hunt it was soothing relief to finally flick on the comforting background noise. As an adult, when setting up house in my own family it was a habit I wasn\'t aware of for years. That is until I won a huge plasma screen and it became very obvious that our TV was the hub of the house. Conversations were relegated to the ad breaks and the

  • Further reasons to reject legalised euthanasia

    An incredible story reported in Wednesday\'s press underscores yet again why we never should legalise euthanasia. It is in fact a bittersweet story, because it could have ended up with such a horrible outcome. Instead it was a delightful and joyous outcome.

  • Ghost Gum Walk

    150km west of Alice Springs is the spectacular Ormiston Gorge.

  • Who's living next door?

    Who lives next door to you? Do you know their names? Is conversation with them limited to a simple 'Hello' and 'Goodbye' as you enter and leave your home or do you know each other a little better? Jesus instructed us to love our neighbours. What does that mean and do you live up to what He instructed us to do?

  • Conviction: Ideas behind the word

    Conviction is certainly one word associated with religious belief. The conviction of Christians that Jesus Christ died on the Cross to save sinners is stated by the Apostle Paul when he wrote to the young pastor Timothy, about leading a congregation and the emphasis he should take in his teaching and preaching.

  • David Wilkerson and a lasting legacy to my life

    David Wilkerson has touched the lives of many people, including myself. I first came to know of this man by reading his book as a teenager. 'The Cross and the Switchblade' is a best seller and a true story written by David Wilkerson.

  • From Little Things, Big Things Grow

    It is amazing to me, to see and sometimes be part of \'ministry\' through which God's blessing obviously lies. It's an absolute delight to see 1 Corinthians 1 '...God chose the weak things of this world to shame the strong' - in operation, as it reinforces the realisation that God is in control of His kingdom, and our successes depend entirely on His blessing.

  • An Unshakeable Love

    As I travel by car to my weekly exercise class in Sheffield, I breathe in the beauty of God's creation. Majestic Mount Roland, standing at over twelve hundred metres above sea level, rising in all its splendour above the foothills south of the township in North-West Tasmania. I love the sight of lush green paddocks dotted with grazing sheep and cattle and as I reach the town the mountain stands close in silent grandeur.

  • More than sex in marriage

    From the beginning of humanity men and women have been created for relationship. Firstly, designed to have connection with God and then with each other. The first relationship between man and woman was one of marriage. In Genesis 2, when Eve was formed as a helpmate for Adam, God said "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh."

  • Atrocities of the Past: the mentally ill

    I am currently a PhD student studying schizophrenia. The value of people is of great concern for me, especially of the mentally ill. There is a long history of mental illness in my family spanning several generations, and I myself have a 10-15% chance of developing schizophrenia. Because of this and other reasons I have contemplated often on how I value myself and others. Over time and as I have learned about schizophrenia some important things have become apparent: what we value in others and o

  • The passion for family cars remain

    Australians still want a range of family sized cars. A recent article in the Sydney Morning Herald showed statistics that indicated that more and more families are buying seven or eight-seater people movers.
