Calm in the Chaos

Lifewords in Action
Lifewords’ 137 year old Bible resource ministry in print, in person, and online is fuelled by the prayerful generosity of individuals, trusts and churches. Every gift, every donation makes a huge difference and helps bring life all over the world.
Comfort in the Midst of Grief
The death of those we love is always devastating. It’s as though a part of us has also died. We wonder if the sense of pain and loss will ever stop, and whether anyone really understands. Developed with bereavement counsellors, Lifewords’ Living with Loss deals honestly with heartache, anger, fear and, of course, loss.
The Short/Long Story of Long Story Short
It is the pulse of the universe, the song of creation, as unstoppable as the tide, as irresistible as the sun rising. The beginning, the end, the centre of every orbit and the home to which all things return. It is an invitation to explore who we are and where we fit in the history of everything.
Christmas in Fakenham
Each year, Fakenham Parish Church hold a Christmas Tree Festival, and regularly share Lifewords resources with those who attend.

Anatomy of a Bible resource - Little Book of Advent

Strength for each day
Daniel, a Londoner, shares with us how significant Daily Strength was in his journey to giving his life to Christ.

80 years of Daily Strength
First published in 1943, Daily Strength has taken on many different covers and forms over the last 80 years, has been translated into many languages and distributed across the globe. To mark the 80th anniversary we wanted to share some stories of how people have been and continue to be impacted by these resources.
Brick by brick
For years, people all over the world have been using Lifewords Little Books to help others engage with the Bible. Now, for the first time, the Little Books are available in an official, boxed collection, the Little Brick of Little Books.
Let God's words bring you hope
Available in printed form and as an animation in over 50 languages, Finding Hope guides the reader from the questions of ‘who cares?’ and ‘where is God?’ to a reminder that God is hope and that God can be trusted.
Sharing joy this Easter
Each of our Easter resources uses the Bible’s own words to invite people to reflect on the person of Jesus, his death on the cross and his resurrection from the grave.
Welcome into the Christmas story
The Christmas story is full of unlikely characters. None of them are obvious choices to witness God coming to earth. Those on the edge are brought into the heart of the story. The unremarkable places find themselves at the centre of the action.

Anatomy of a Bible resource - The True Light
We love re-telling the narrative of Jesus’ coming, so that churches can share it in their communities. But have you ever wondered how to go about doing that differently again and again? Steve Bassett explains how a Bible resource is created, and how each one still holds the same DNA as the very first Scripture Gift Mission booklets did over 130 years ago.
