Welcome

Opening up the Bible God’s growth process for individuals and churches starts with us clearly hearing God’s voice in Scripture. Therefore, our aim here at The Good Book Company is to produce resources which put the Word of God in the driving seat, helping ordinary believers open up the Bible for themselves.

Whatever your age or stage in life, we offer practical, Bible-centered books and resources that will help you and your church family build your lives on the gospel of grace and serve the Lord better day by day.

The Good Book Company has many exciting new resources to introduce you to, such as One2One Real Men, written to help men read the Bible with teenage boys, Good Question, a new evangelistic tract, and Mark Dever’s Good Book Guide on 1 Corinthians. We are also able to offer some of our best selling titles and Bible study notes in new formats. It is now easier than ever to feed on God’s Word

in every situation with our selection of ebooks and the Explore App available on the iPad, iPhone, Kindle, Android and other tablets.

So, please read, absorb and then order anything which you think will better equip you and your church to delve into the Bible and be effective witnesses for Christ. Call us on (866) 244 2165 if you need any further information or advice.

Yours in Christ, Brad Byrd US Ministry Director, The Good Book Company

“

I’m thrilled the Good Book Company is publishing Mark’s helpful study guide to 1 Corinthians, because no book of the Bible says more about the church. Whether you are a church leader or a faithful member, this guide will help you understand and apply 1 Corinthians to your life and the life of your church. I highly recommend it.”
