Our Resources Much work has been done over the years to help members of our churches to learn about the Bible. Here we have those files for you to download or to contact us about if you would prefer us to post them to you: Call 07967 630071 or email pilgrimbiblesociety@googlemail.com Printed teachings -You will need Adobe PDF reader to view these files. Download it here.
I highly recommend David Pett's book "You'd Better Believe It!" which can be purchased directly from his website at http://www.davidpetts.org/pubs.htm
If you know someone who struggles to read or has bad eyesight, these teachings are also available in audio to download or order on CD. I recommend downloading them all and putting them back together on one CD since they are made to be heard as one teaching.
Please email me for the following Audio Cds of the Elementary Teachings.
We also recommend the following, though we are unable to supply them directly (but call us for help if you need it). Software "iLumina" is a fantastic teaching aid which I use all the time. It is a professionally constructed program which makes the most of computerised animation. It is extremely cheap considering the technical and personal input that made it. You can visit their site at www.ilumina.com and you can see a video about it and the way we use it on the pilgrimbiblesociety channel on YouTube.
iLumina is also available to run on some mobile phones (PDAs or pocket PCs) from Olive Tree Software. The program can be downloaded directly through your internet connection or posted to you as a CD. It is now available with the NIV. If you have a mobile phone you may also be able to run Bible software on it from Laridian. If your mobile is able, then you can use it as a Bible concordance. If you are a minister you may also be interested to know that Hebrew and Greek study tools are also available. For all these things you can visit the Laridian Bible mobile software site. We also encourage the use of games in teaching. Here are the reasons why we use them
We are listing them here because they are extremely difficult to get hold of. It has taken years of searching to find these because they are rarely stocked in Christian bookshops, so send us an email and we will try find out the current price or where they are available for you. Computer Games Catechumen was the name given to trainee disciples in the early church. Still my favourite. Quite old but still very addictive, but you SAVE men with the Sword of the Spirit which never loses its power. No blood or gore. Even demons are sent to the abyss instead of being killed! The game has its own website, www.catechumen.com. I also have some extra software that allows a game-pad to be used with the game, maps and cheats (Christians cheat?! Heaven forbid!) so email me and I can send them to you. You see a video with screen shots on the pilgrimbiblesociety channel of YouTube and a video of it in use teaching in a family environment. Heaven Quest is a computerised version of a board game, a simple race with questions and answers. You must pray to receive grace with which to overcome temptation. If you fall you can’t advance. Bible Challenge is a simple quiz game, but the questions are read out to you, a major boost for anybody trying to learn to read and learn the Bible together. Click here for a video. Board Games
 Bible Pictionary game is simple and has the advantage that only half the people have to read. The one who can read is given something from the Bible to draw on paper, and the others must guess what it is.
Bible Trivia quiz games excellent for both testing and learning. Questions may prove tough for some, but simpler questions are available. The travel version of Bible Trivia is small and compact Bible Man must race to save souls from the enemies of God and deliver them to the Church. Good principles of good against evil. No Bible knowledge needed, so excellent for young children. What Would Jesus Do? and Follow the Leader present moral dilemmas to help us examine what we believe. WWJD is recommended for adults. Follow the leader is the young version. Follow the Leader is much smaller. Solomon's Temple is a superb game, but very complicated. One player gathers sections and furnishings for Solomon’s Temple, whilst his opponent attacks him with armies and sin. All parts and contents of Temple are learned as part of the game. Big spiritual message: you can’t build anything until you have an altar and priest with which to deal with sin (Ezra 3v2-3).
