Written by Aussie author and journalist Kel Richards, The Aussie Bible is a re-telling of the story of Jesus' life from His birth to resurrection in the Australian vernacular. The 90 page book is aimed at those who may not normally pick up a New Testament or a Bible. Its ideal as an evangelistic tool and on this site you will find how The Aussie Bible points the way to Jesus as the Son of God. The book's illustrations are by Australian artist, Graham Wade. The Aussie Bible is also available as an audio CD and on video.
Where did The Aussie Bible come from?
The Aussie Bible was first broadcast as a series of radio talks by Kel Richards on Sydney's 103.2FM. Kel wrote the series after reading about a Cockney version of the Bible and realising Australians deserved their own copy of the story of Jesus.
Comments from people who have already read the book:
G'day! I reckon this AUSSIE BIBLE is gonna be a winner! This is the kinda stuff that keeps the kids into religion! (as well as any other Aussies that ain't got the faintest idea of what the Bible goes on about!) Dear Bible Society, Kel, Dear Bible Society,
Good luck with the sales of this book! I'm with it all the way!
From a true-blue Aussie.

I purchased a copy at the Bible Society Bookshop the day it was launched, 21st August, and I am very impressed with it.
On the following day I took two Year 10 High School classes for SRE, and read to each class the story of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37) from the Aussie Bible. When I asked the students what they thought, they said that it was good. I also read the passage to the rest of our group of volunteer SRE teachers at recess time, and they expressed approval; one browsed through the book and said that he appreciated Kel's rendering of Psalm 23.
Best wishes in your work. God bless.

Just to encourage you ... I have just returned from bible study tonight where I heard of a young chap who was never able to understand the language of the bible. He was given a copy of The Aussie Bible by a loving Christian work colleague and came back after reading it stating .the penny.s finally dropped. Now I get it! .Thank you for your Aussie Bible.

We read the aussie bible and are impressed and excited at the possibilities for evangelism. We have bought some for family and are going to order more for RE - also the video. Suggest a follow up with an acted out video. The Holy Spirit sure has some tricks up His sleeve.
Sincerely in Him,
Val and Rob
Kel Richards is an Aussie journalist, author and broadcaster. He?s heard every weekday on two national ABC radio networks: doing WordWatch on the NewsRadio network and Word of the Day on Clive Robertson?s breakfast program on the Classic FM network.
"Reading Kel Richards' retelling of parts of the Bible surprised me. Separated from a God who loves us and desires our reconnection, there is in Jesus Christ a way back to Him. This is a good initiative, and I'm glad it has been seized."
-John Anderson, Deputy Prime Minister
