The Alpha Guide is a companion to either the Alpha Film Series or Alpha with Nicky Gumbel. This guide is divided up by session with an easy-to-read outline so that guests can follow along during each talk. With simple bullet-point organization and plenty of room for notes, the guide functions as an invaluable resource to the guest during Alpha, and as a reference tool for individual reflection long after Alpha. It is considered an essential resource for Alpha guests as well as the host and helpers on Alpha. Alpha creates an environment of hospitality where people can bring their friends, family, and work colleagues to explore the Christian faith, ask questions, and share their point of view. Alpha makes it easy to invite friends to have spiritual conversations which explore life's biggest questions in a safe and respectful way. Alpha's approach to hospitality, faith, and discussion is designed to welcome everyone, especially those who might not describe themselves as Christians or church-goers. Each session includes time for a large group meal, short teaching, and small group discussion.

This work presents a sustained reflection on the New Testament vision of God's revelation of his glory in Christ. This divine "appearing" is grounded in the self-emptying of the eternal Logos in the incarnation, cross and descent into hell, yet this is the means whereby his glory is manifested and enriches all who are seized by its beauty.

“Moet ek eers wag tot ek dood is voordat ek God se wil verstaan?” So begin Stephan Joubert sy boek God se wil vir jou lewe.

Op sy unieke manier doen Stephan Joubert ’n diepgaande ondersoek na hierdie vraag om vas te stel hoe ons nou al God se wil kan ken. Die boek is verdeel in twee dele:

• Deel 1 is 9 hoofstukke waarin Stephan onder andere kyk na die misterie van God se wil, Jesus as die gesig van God se wil, reëls oor God se wil en vensters op God se wil.
• Deel 2 is 31 Bybelstudies, vir individue of groepe, wat die verskillende fasette van God se wil bekyk, waaronder: Verander God se wil my in ’n robot?, Mag ek vrae vra oor God se wil? en vele meer.

God se wil vir jou lewe wys dat God se wil vir ons duidelik in die Bybel gegee word en dat ons dus nie tot ons dood hoef te wag om dit te verstaan nie. Dit is moontlik om elke dag in blydskap en volkome binne God se wil te leef.

Serena Fass has attempted to illustrate Jesus' Great Commission: "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptised will be saved." (Mark 16: 15 - 16) and has presented a balance between the many different strands of the Christian faith, for each century, from the earliest Christians in Pompeii until today, and criss-crossing the globe from North to South: from Norway to Mozambique - and West to East: from Peru to Australia. Categories include architecture, painting, sculpture, ivories, textiles, metalwork, jewellery and portraits of people wearing crosses, as well as examples of the cross in nature.
