Description

Some of life's best experiences come from surprising close encounters - dolphins swimming nearby, bumping into someone famous, or kindness from a stranger.

Jesus had many close encounters with ordinary people, turning around their lives in totally unexpected ways. Today many people still find their lives changed by him. Jesus really understands us. And he can defeat the things that threaten our happiness and our future.

In Close Encounters you'll find out about five ordinary people that Jesus helped. You'll learn some surprising things about yourself, about God and about life.

Using a modern, easy-to-understand translation of the Bible, this straightforward guide and the accompanying DVD will help you understand who Jesus is, why he came, and the difference he can make for people today.

To help with promoting your course, we now have posters and invitations available for you to download. See the 'Extras' section on the top left-hand side of the page.

“Excellent”

(Review written for 'Close Encounters (Starter Pack)')

This is similar in format to the other 4 sessions Lizzie & Pete do (The King & I, Tales of the Unexpected)
They're brilliant
I use them in our church, and always find them really helpful for people.

If The Good Book Co or Pete & Lizzie ever read this, all I'd ask is they keep doing more! They are such helpful ways of teaching people about Jesus, and how to read the Bible for themselves.

“Excellent versatile Material”

(Review written for 'Close Encounters (Starter Pack)')

Excellent clear evangelistic DVD and handbooks. We have used this course in a large gathering of 40+ people in a community space and with two people in their homes. It works in any setting that a DVD can be played. I particularly love the way you read through the passage a number of times in each study. In this way people do the hard work of thinking through a passage and then can clearly see the points being made in the DVD.
This material has been well received by those who are more mature in their faith and those who have little or no background in the bible. I will continue to use this material and hope that more titles become available.
