Bible People and Me—Life of Christ
http://www.rbpstore.org/Products/5329/bible-people-and-me-life-of-christ.aspx
I wrote these lessons for our ESL ministry in Taiwan. These simple Bible lessons are written for the adult student for whom English is a second language. They give a simple retelling of the life of Christ and a presentation of the gospel in a non-confrontational way. The English vocabulary list at the back can be translated into another language to make it easy to use. Many students who have a beginning knowledge of English will be able to use this book without translation by looking up each lesson’s vocabulary words in a dictionary.
In the US you can use this book to reach out to international people in your community. They may come to you to learn English and become interested in the gospel.
Overseas missionaries with Baptist Mid Missions, Association of Baptists for World Evangelism, and Evangelical Baptist Missions may order this book for free from Gospel Literature Services http://www.garbcinternational.org/?page_id=298
In Australia you may order through this distributor:
Regular Baptist Press Australia, 52 Clydebank Road, Balmoral NSW, Email: rbpaustralia@fastmail.fm

Hello, Deb, from Kazakhstan. I appreciate the lessons which you have made available for free. As a full-time international teacher, these lessons are great for me to use for my ministry ESl class. They are concise and yet, detailed enough for a one hour and fifteen minute lesson, which is the length of the class. These allow me to do my full-time work effectively and still have time to do ministry in this way. May the Lord continue to bless as others use lessons in field that are white unto harvest. Peace, Gale
Do you have New Testament stories also?
I have the Life of Christ book shown above the Old Testament Stories. That is usually the best place to start. Click on the rbp link to order from Regular Baptist Press. The Life of Christ book and the Old Testament stories listed here are all the ESL lessons I have.
We have started using these lessons with women in Mozambique in our small ESL language classes. Thank you for blessing many with these wonderful lessons!
Thanks for writing! I’m glad they are working for you. May the Lord use them to turn hearts to Himself. Deb

Thanks for writing. If you want to use the Life of Christ stories you will need to order one for each student from the States. Regular Baptist Press now offers them at the greatly reduced price of US$1 each. The Old Testament stories are free for anyone to use. When you print them, please put “by Deb Brammer” on every lesson. If you want to mention them in your blog you can give a link on your blog to my website. I would rather you link to my website than having the lessons in their entirety on your blog. Thanks for asking this question. I probably need to spell this out more clearly on my website.
Hi Deb,
Your resources look great and it’s highly appreciated that you have made them available for low or no cost. I am currently teaching English to a high school student, recently arrived in Australia from China and would love to include some foundational Christian concepts in teaching him. I just tried to order a copy of the “Life of Christ” book but it is $27 in postage to Australia. Is there any way I can order an email version? I am happy to pay for it but the postage cost is very high. Thanks, Cath
I did some checking of US Postal Rates online. From US to Australia, 3 ounces, I can’t get it to show anything cheaper than $38. Wow! We used to get book rates, but now the US postal rates are killing the sale of US books overseas. I’d love to offer it on my website like my Old Testament Stories, but I would need permission as Regular Baptist Press/Gospel Literature Services invested a lot of money into the printing of it. I’m going to check into some options with them. Can you check back again later? Thanks.
Thanks! I’ll do that. I appreciate your help.
I just found out that RBP now has a distributor in Australia. I am waiting for contact details for that. That should take care of your postage issues I think. Thank you for raising these issues. I found out that I needed a new link for RBP, that they have an Australian distributor, and that my book is hard to find on their website–all things I needed to know.
Can the book be ordered through Better World Books? They have free shipping worldwide. This might help with the outrageous shipping prices worldwide!
I only find one used copy there. RBP now sells them for US$1 a book. For most people who use them for a class it would probably be best to order a quantity. Thanks for the suggestion, however. I’m always looking for ways to beat the high cost of postage.
