INTERNET: the site is now being visited by a number of interested people. It contains each issue of the Bible Study Monthly and there are plans to add other items such as booklets and research data. Look out for the changes

 GIFT AID: If you send a gift to Bible Fellowship Union and are a UK tax payer, the Inland Revenue will refund your tax to BFU. If you have already sent the appropriate form then you need do no more. If you have not sent a form or letter previously please write a brief note, signed and dated, saying that you want all monies sent to Bible Fellowship Union to be regarded as a gift with tax refundable.

INTRODUCE A FRIEND: Your interest and support are much appreciated. Why not introduce the Bible Study Monthly to a friend? We shall be pleased to send the BSM to any name and address submitted to us. All literature is free.

MAGAZINE AND BOOKLET CONTENT: We try to make all publications as useful and helpful as possible to all readers. They live in many lands with different Christian and cultural backgrounds. We are pleased to receive observations about BFU literature. Such comments may not make us change anything immediately but we will listen attentively. With the Lord's help and guidance we will try to maintain high spiritual values and good levels of communication.

In order to reach all ages, modern translations are often used. Articles are kept to moderate length with varied presentation. When reprinted material is updated we try to retain original viewpoints.

What is published is believed to have a wide interest but everything printed may not necessarily be the opinion of the editor and his colleagues

 STORIES OF THE KINGDOM. "Truth embodied in a tale, may enter in at lowly doors" are words accredited to Tennyson, the 19^th century poet. Some themes can be more effectively presented in narrative story than academic treatise. Thus we reprint the first of a series called 'In the Land of Beginning Again'. The series of five stories are available in booklet form.

 The Talking Book service continues to be a blessing to 14 of our readers. These audio cassettes are sent out without cost and each cassette contains one issue of the BSM. Again we are very grateful to the one who runs this service and spends long hours reading the material into the microphone.
