Word on the Street: (formerly published as the Street Bible)

Word on the Street: (formerly published as the Street Bible) by Rob Lacey was published by Zondervan in February 2005 and is our 128th best seller. The ISBN for Word on the Street: (formerly published as the Street Bible) is 9780310932253.

Rob Lacey's "dangerously real" retelling of Scripture vividly demonstrates that the Bible is packed full of stories/poems/images that resonate with the big issues of today. This fresh paraphrase with running commentary brings the text alive: Bible stories are retold as mini-blockbusters; psalms as song lyrics; epistles as emails; Revelation as a virtual reality. Out with stale religious terms, here's a "Bible" that talks today's language - gritty, earthy, witty. Enough of starting at Genesis with good intentions but getting lost in Leviticus. Lacey succeeds in revitalizing a classic work by focusing on the big picture: fast-forwards through the "slow-moving" bits with pace, passion and energy to make the Bible a page-turner again.

What's more, Lacey's award-winning tour de force was created during a remarkable personal journey through terminal cancer: the stuff the Bible stories are made of. This life-experience injects Lacey's take on Scripture with authenticity and authority - resonating with Bible characters who also wrestled with the big questions. Purist alert; This is not The Bible (capital B)...but it might just get you reaching for one.

5 / 5 stars

god provides - sian hall student from farnbough

This book has helped me in my faith. It has really made me and God close at times, I didn't ever think I could be close to him. Thanx so much Rob for sorting it out, yeah God bless x

5 / 5 stars

Sensational - Lowri from Buckinghamshire

First time I have enjoyed reading the bible! Written in a funny (yes really!)relevant way. It does skip through and summarise some (less read and used)sections. Invigorating and I imagine it would be good for teenagers as well.

5 / 5 stars

Thumbs up! - Claire, St. Helens

Great fresh take on the best book ever written. I use it a lot in youth ministry. Very relevant and allows easy application to life today. Buy it!!

5 / 5 stars

Refreshing New Viewpoints. The Bible but not as you know it! - Jonny Harrison, Youth Pastor, read so much I stay up too late! Barrow-in-Furness

This book has been so beneficial to so many young people. Helping the to get an overview of the Bible story and getting them excited about reading Bible stories. This is a brilliant starting point for any young Christian or non-Christian. Not a replacement for the real thing but a very valuable accompaniment!! Rob Lacey was a legend!
