Street Life : Engaging 40 Big Issues With The Street Bible
$14.99Add to cartStreet life is a funny, thought-provoking, God-revealing look at the real issues of 21st-century lives. If it’s on the street, it’s in here – everything from chewing gum to mobile phones, traffic lights to trees, sex shops to scaffolding.
All the things around us and all the ways in which we can use those sights to explore the Kingdom of God.
Based on the bestselling approach of the street bible, street life takes things one step further, generating discussion, engagement, and resolve; offering wisdom from across the ages and ideas for action today; and, most of all, pointing readers back to the real thing – the Bible with a capital “B’. Ideal for individual Bible study, youth groups, and house groups, street life is about going deeper than just reading the stories and actually creating a different lifestyle.
It’s about making the words count.

Street Bible
$13.99Add to cartAn engaging new translation of the Bible into the language of the city. Rob Lacey reworks the metaphors, situations, and speech patterns of the Bible to create a real impact on the modern, urban reader. Taking the key texts of the Old and New Testament, Rob Lacey employs the MTV dialect of today’s urban city to create a new and original look at what may be over-familiar stories. Through its modern style, The Street Bible acts as an accessible and exciting introduction to the Bible for the uninitiated reader while giving a fresh perspective to the church community. A sample from Romans 7 reads: ‘So what’ll we say then? Are the Ten Written Rules wicked? No! We’d never have known what ‘wicked’ was, unless the rules had been published and circulated. Rule 6 says: “Don’t drool over what’s not yours,” but of course, my dark side takes its cue from this and what happens? I’m gagging for stuff that’s not mine and never should be.’ A translation that will bring the timeless message of the Bible into the 21st century with the impact it had in the 1st century.
