Encounter with God is Scripture Union's daily Bible reading guide designed to lead you to a deeper understanding about what God is saying to you and to his world today. You'll find its thorough and energetic investigation of the whole Bible inspiring and stimulating.

A scholar, a failure, a blind man and an adulterer, these are some of the people in this guide whose lives were changed forever, when they met Jesus. The good news is that Jesus is waiting to meet us too.

Nine studies concentrating on Biblical characters such as Abraham, Naaman and David, who exercised faith and dependence on God.

The Christian life begins with a step of faith. But that first step of faith is just the beginning; it leads to a walk of obedience and trust and holiness. This study guide - through sessions in the Gospels and the Epistles - explores what it means to follow Jesus. It's an exciting, challenging adventure!

The truth is we all need to be forgiven. The Bible makes it painfully clear that every one of us has built up an enormous debt of sin to God. Christians rejoice in the forgiveness we receive from God, but when we hurt the people we love, how do we go about restoring the relationship?

Sometimes hope becomes so real that it's almost tangible. But at other times we wonder whether our hopes will break apart and leave us exposed and vulnerable. These studies explore both sides of hope, confronting doubts and fears and reminding us of the great joy that awaits us in Jesus.
