If you’ve ever sat with a mum preparing for yet another daunting and wonderful week of juggle, a business leader facing a strategic crisis, or a greengrocer seeking to serve his customers faithfully, and wondered how your Sunday sermon will carry them through the week – the Everyday Faith Bible was made with them and you in mind.
Published by Bible Society in partnership with the London Institute for Contemporary Christianity (LICC), it’s a beautiful, annotated edition designed to help people connect Scripture to their everyday lives. It arrives at a moment when many church leaders are asking serious questions about what discipleship actually looks like in practice. As thousands of people with no faith background start coming into churches across the UK, what can we put in their hands that will envision and equip them to follow Jesus day-to-day? The Everyday Faith Bible is a great answer to that challenge.
Over 1,000 prompts, notes, features, and true stories sit alongside the biblical text, organised into ‘head’, ‘heart’, and ‘hand’ categories.
For those who preach regularly, the ‘head’ notes will feel a bit like a trusty commentary, offering historical and contextual grounding, concise enough not to slow you down but rich enough to open up a passage afresh.
The ‘heart’ notes invite the kind of emotional and spiritual attentiveness that good pastoral work demands.
The ‘hand’ notes push outward, connecting the text to the everyday spaces where your people are: the workplace, the school gate, the neighbourhood, the pub.
This is where the resource becomes strategic. Rather than being a tool just for leaders, the Everyday Faith Bible is something you can confidently place in people’s hands to help them bridge the gap between Sunday and Monday. Real-life stories and quotes from Christians across the UK can be dropped into sermons and illuminate small groups. Whole-page genre introductions and thematic features also make it a useful for the preacher, the seasoned disciple, and the new believer.
For those of us who carry the dual burden of exegesis and pastoral care, the Everyday Faith Bible quietly does what the best tools do: it holds both together.
