"Your use of illustrations make things so much easier to learn. I'm very familiar with the Bible, but learning what it means, with your help, has made it come alive for me. I realize 'knowing' is not the same as 'believing.' Thank you for sharing so much of your life so others can benefit from God's blessings."
Jason T.
"I am a practicing Christian but have recently felt moved to further and deepen my knowledge of the Bible and build a more intimate relationship with our Saviour, Jesus Christ. It was no coincidence that I happened to come across you speaking tonight as I was flipping channels; I am looking forward to getting started and establishing a strong foundation."
Kathleen U.
"Never have I heard the word in such a way that I now fully 'get it.' I have been a Christian for approximately 25 years, but my relationship with the Lord had gotten cold and I no longer felt the love for the Bible I had in the past. I so appreciate your teaching and am now on fire for the Lord again. I am also sharing your teaching with my friends. Thank you."
Mike M.
"The Lord sent Beth Jones to me late last year when The Basics With Beth appeared on [television]. For years, every Sunday, I have watched at least a half dozen pastors, but none have been as inspirational as Beth Jones. I have taken your courses and listened to your podcasts and really enjoy how you put God’s Word in practical everyday language. "
Andree T.
"Your Getting a Grip on the Basics is spreading like wildfire in its French version here in Congo Brazzaville and Congo Kinshasa. My daughter got all of the 37 students in her class born again and all wanting to study “the basics.” Some of the boys were in gangs but they repented and now want to know God. We have started translating your book and we already finished the first 3 chapters. Every time I lead a study with the Basics, I get blessed! Thank you so very much for this tool!"
Roscoe H.
"It is such a joy listening to your teaching each night via Hillsong Channel. While here in prison, it is filling to have someone fill your heart with the truth and equip me with readiness to give an answer to why I believe for surely it is by the grace of God, through faith that I am holding onto the unchanging hand of God. I am looking forward to getting your book of wisdom and knowledge that I may go out and come in, strengthened in Spirit and truth."
Adet G.
"I am the person translating and doing the voice-over for your TV programs into Farsi at TBN NEJAT TV. First, I want to personally thank you for all the teachings, they have been a great blessing to me. And secondly, tell you that there are people from Iran and Europe that call me and thank me for the teachings that I have translated (which they are actually thanking you for the great message you bring to their home every week). Thank you so much!"
Ferzana P.
"Greetings from Lahore, Pakistan. I have no words to thank you for giving your great teaching in such a real way which has encouraged me to write my feelings about I believe that your teaching will change many lives and give encouragement to many more people. Your messages give us courage and power to face the reality of life. Your messages are really very powerful to change lives and I am also very excited to read your book Getting A Grip on the Basics."
your financial gifts helps us reach young adults
We love hearing stories like Kurt's!
People around the world, just like Kurt, are using Beth's books to lead Bible studies, discipleship groups and Christian foundation classes in churches. Kurt and his wife Kathy have been using Beth's books for many years and are making disciples one person at a time! We'd love to see thousands more doing the same thing and your partnership with The Basics With Beth helps us spread the Word.
since 1988, your financial gifts help us teach the bible basics
Who knew what the Lord would do with this simple book, "Getting a Grip on the Basics" from the time it was first written and then printed at a local Kinko's way back in 1988! By God's grace + your generosity we have seen this book published and now translated and used to make disciples in over 25 languages around the world.
These days, there are over 20 additional books, a TV program, radio podcast and an online university focused on helping people get the basics. Together, with your partnership, we'll keep "going into all the world" with the gospel basics!
The original "Getting a Grip on the Basics", circa 1989.
