Resources

Here are a few miscellaneous resources. See also my index of writings, page of links and page of sermons. You are welcome to make use of anything you find useful in the service of Christ (but not to pass off my work as your own or imply that  I have endorsed your work or views).

• Evangelistic tracts – tracts that I have written and that can be re-used
• Bible Map of the Mediterranean Most Bible maps are copyright and it’s hard to get permission to use them. This one was hand-drawn by my lovely wife Liz and is in the public domain for you to use as you please. It contains only a few place-name labels, designed for use in explaining the missionary journeys of the Acts of the Apostles. Download here (TIF format). Some people have had trouble opening that file, here it is in a different (GIF) format.
• Exodus and the Tabernacle – a summary of the book of Exodus, by Martin Bussey (a Bible college lecturer in Africa), mostly based upon Vern Polythress’s “The Shadow of Christ in the Law of Moses”. You can also download a basic diagram (OpenOffice/OpenDocument format) of the tabernacle, ou si on prèfere, le tabernacle, en français.
• Simple OT / historical writings summary – a simple chart to summarise the times and messages of the “historical books” (as classified in the English Bible – Joshua through to Esther): PDF / OpenDocument.
• Kids’ Club Games. (OpenDocument format – try OpenOffice.Org) – an A5 booklet with descriptions of over 30 games (with simple equipment requirements – mostly just bean bags, skittles, ribbons or a football) that we have used at children’s clubs (aged about 5-13) in Kenya. Feel free to use it, adapt it and send me your improvements. Consider it public domain. Kids in Kenya do not have all the electronic distractions of the UK, which is a big advantage for us. If you can’t work out how to print out the A5 booklet onto A4, then instead use this A4 PDF and just print the odd pages, turn over, put back into the printer and print the even pages.
• Cessationism – slides – these are the slides of a presentation from July 2025 on why I believe that the miraculous New Testament gifts ceased. By its nature it is not a complete argument. However, here is a booklet I wrote in 2007 –Cessationism – booklet – 2007 – with similar arguments (you will see that by 2025 I had developed some new twists/ideas in my understanding). Here are the editable sources for the same items: Cessationism – slides – July 2025 | Cessationism – booklet – 2007
• Some computer resources – various recipes and bits of information, particularly for Linux users.
