New Bible Reading Program to Launch Online Community
Website allows readers to share how God is working in their daily lives
Recent studies show that 79% of American adults use the internet everyday-and of these users over 28% are looking for religious or spiritual information. With the launch of the God SightingsTM website, online users will be able to join a unique online community that incorporates daily Bible reading with personal or group study.
A beautiful sunrise, a chance encounter with a stranger or an exciting event provides a glimpse of God in everyday life. These moments are best when shared with someone we are close to-a spouse, a child, an elderly mother, sisters or even a group of friends from high school. Our world and the distances we live from each other make it difficult, and often impossible, to share these important experiences with those we love. But what would happen if those special moments, "God Sightings" as it were, could be shared with those people regardless of the time and distance?
Group Publishing and Tyndale Publishing have joined together to create an exciting and unique online community Bible reading program called God Sightings that will enable users to share those special and unexpected God moments in their lives with others. Whether God is seen in other people, in the events of their lives or in the pages of the Bible, both public and private online communities (www.MyGodSightings.com) have been created for individuals who want to share thoughts about captured "God Sightings" with others.
The public community allows anyone anywhere to randomly share their "God Sighting" experiences as directed by the God Sightings: The One Year Companion Guide, while the private online community is perfect for those who want to experience the program together but are either apart or simply prefer the use of the web. It is ideal for military spouses separated by war, parents separated from their children in college or distant friends who want to stay in touch. It's a chance to witness and share God's presence even when people are separated by hundreds or thousands of miles.
God Sightings: The One Year Companion Guide, meant to be used with God Sightings: The One Year Bible, asks provocative and personal questions designed to bring God's real presence to you and those you talk to online each week in a tangible way. There are questions like:
- How have you seen God working through other people this week?
- In what areas of your life do you need God's assurance right now?
- Has God asked you to change or grow this week?
- What happened this week to remind you of the mightiness of God?
God Sightings: The One Year Companion Guide, along with God Sightings: The One Year Bible, provides a focus too often missing in Bible reading programs: looking past the written pages and to God Himself. God Sightings will build a solid faith as well as strong relationships because it's built upon the personal revelation of God in each individual's life. God Sightings is designed to bring God back into people's lives in an authentic way as they share it with groups or others in their online community.
Materials for God Sightings are available for individuals to use alone or with groups. They include a God Sightings: The One Year Bible (New International Version or New Living Translation), God Sightings: The One Year Companion Guide, God Sightings: The One Year Small Group Leader Guide and also God Sightings: The One Year Launch Kit for Pastors and Ministry Leaders who want to bring this transformation to their entire congregation. Whether used separately or together, these beautifully and inviting graphically designed books will provide a renewed faith and passion for the Word to everyone, even if you are separated by hundreds or thousands of miles.
