The New Year approacheth..

Are you thinking about Bible Reading schedules? Gary Sims has created two apps based on the Biblebase 3 year reading cycle.

1. Biblebase Daily Bread
is a free app and comes with a basic introduction to the reasons for this particular schedule which was created for the overseas students of the Church Life School which operated in Reading, UK in the 1980s. You can download it from the iPhone app store on your iPhone/iTouch or iPad.

The iTunes Shop spot is
iPhone Biblebase Daily Bread app
The app has links to a variety of translations.

2. The second version has the KJV built in and will cost you 69p!! You can see this in the iTunes app store at

They are also available for the Android or if you prefer a paper based alternative you can find an almost infinite selection in The Biblebase Bible Reading Schedules. Infinite? yes, almost infinite!

Give them a look and see it they appeal...

My apologies to any who have tried to download recent additions or take part in the discussion forums. My Server provider is changing some parameters and re-populating some of our stores of good things.

It ought to catch up over the next few days. My apologies for any inconveniences.

We had notification from Google Video that they are clearing out their video in favour of YouTube. We have already lost some but are trying to recreate them on our new Biblebase-Vimeo.

This is a neat presentation and as other videos come to hand we will try to get them here as soon as we can. If you watch any of them and would like to make a comment, that would be much appreciated.

If you would like to discuss any of the videos please come and join us at the BibleBase_Discussion_Forum. You will be very welcome.

it's in the post

Entries to this blog tend to be a bit infrequent but I thought this was worth sharing. I have sent the first few chapters and synopses of my book off to a prospective publisher... now we wait.

I started it quite some time ago but last year's health issues added a large gap in my efforts.

It is called 'The Better Covenant' and subtitled... "unpacking the treasures of the New Covenant". It has gone to a company which specialised in Christian Book and now there is likely to be a long wait before they get around to reading it.

I reread it over the past few days and was blessed by it! Cast you bread upon the waters... I really do feel passionately about this topic and feel a strong burden to encourage others to consider this life into which God has brought us.

Here is the blurge from the back cover...

The final hours of Christ’s pre-Calvary life focused on the themes of a new Passover, a new Kingdom and a New Covenant. This New Covenant stands in stark distinction to the Covenant enjoyed by the saints of the Old Testament. It is said to be ‘new’ and ‘better’ and ‘more glorious’ but for many its uniqueness has become uncertain. It is often described in contrast to the older Covenant; the writer to the Hebrews does this, as does Paul, as did Christ. Perhaps its determining feature can be expressed in the contrast implied in the statement; …but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. John 14:17 NKJV


The conscious reception of the indwelling Spirit is the point of entrance into this New Covenant. This receiving of the Spirit effects the work of regeneration and fulfils the promises of the New Covenant made by Jeremiah and Ezekiel in which they see a new and different covenant in which old things would pass away and all things become new. This powerful regeneration/baptism in Spirit takes a man out of Adam and puts him into Christ thereby creating a ‘new man’ with new powers and instincts.


This book explores the salvation history of the Bible, examining the background to the promise of the New Covenant as introduced in the Old Testament and the fulfilment of that promise in the New Testament. It traces Paul’s exciting discovery that the New Covenant contained a ‘secret’ which opened God’s kingdom to all races and conditions of humankind. It examines the implications of this better covenant for a true understanding and practise of daily living in the New Covenant.

I'll keep you in touch with events as they happen.
