Preacher adopts ‘paperless Bible’

HARDIN, Ky. (BNc) — He loves the Bible, and Bibles. And he loves making notes in his Bible. So when Daniel Howell, preacher for the Hardin congregation, found a way to make notes on his Kindle Fire through the Olive Tree Bible Reader and store them in several devices and on the cloud, he made the jump: no more paper Bibles.

“My Kindle Fire is essentially my Bible now. No more paper Bible. It’s where I make my notes,” Daniel, who’ll be 26 next month, wrote in a recent blog post. He explained how he does it. Read more

Harris & Moore Expedition Through the Bible answers live questions

DUBLIN, Tex. (BNc) — Every Monday from 6-7:00 p.m. CST, David Harris and Tom Moore present lessons from the Bible on their phone-in talk show.

In an email interview with David Harris, BNc asked him about the program’s origins and development.

Can you give us a little background about the radio program?

It all started in October of 2008. I was sitting in my office one afternoon, when Mike Trusty, a Gospel preacher, walked in and said that he had just bought a radio station. He wanted to know if I would like to have a radio program. He said he would give me one half hour of air time free on his radio station, KEQX. I told him that I had been thinking of something like this but money had been an issue. Read more

Common English Bible is ‘different,’ says reviewer

by Ernest Clevenger

(BNc) – Nashville, Tenn., is famous for many things. To country music it is Music City, and the music publishing hub of America. To book publishing, it is the home of Thomas Nelson Bible Publishers, the home of Ingram Book (world’s largest book publisher and retailers).

To the church it has one of the largest concentrations of churches of Christ in America, and two brotherhood publishing companies, Gospel Advocate and Twenty-first Century Christian.

For more than 150 years Nashville has been home to large religious-based publishing houses: National Baptist Publishing Board (R. H. Boyd Publishing Company), Southern Baptist Convention, United Methodist, Lifeway, and Gideons International are a few of the larger ones.

It is not surprising that the Common English Bible (CEB) chose Nashville as its headquarters for developing and publishing a new Bible, one they have been working on for more than two years. It is advertised as a bold translation readable by a broad range of people aimed at more than half of all English readers. It is different! Read more

by Jim Dearman, GBN Program Director

In April of 2004, I received a phone call from a man with a dream.

The man was Barry Gilreath, Sr., and the dream was to launch a 24-hour-per-day television network to reach the world with the gospel of Christ.

Yes, Barry Gilreath, Sr., who passed from this life on June 7, was a dreamer; but he was a dreamer in the best sense of the word. His dream was to make the dream of God a reality in his lifetime. Read more
