“The Stranger” as an Intro Bible course at a Chinese international school
We recently received an email from a school principal. He asked several questions about our tools but he also shared how his school has been using our resources. He writes, “I have enjoyed reading and teaching The Stranger on the Road to Emmaus. We use the book in an ‘Intro’ course for students at our […]
The simple, unassuming and authoritative nature of the book changed my life
A while ago, we received an email from Hayden* who lives Down Under in Australia. His story was a good reminder of two important factors in our outreach with others. First, our testimony in a community really does have an impact—for better or for worse. Second, we were reminded that simply giving a book away […]

Friendship with neighbours blossoms into opportunities
When the Lord brings unsaved people into our lives, it is sometimes difficult to know when is the right time to share the gospel. This is when we must be prayerfully sensitive to the Holy Spirit’s direction. At times, it seems the Lord asks us to wait, patiently attuned to his timing. This is what […]
