The Bible is the greatest book ever written and compiled for humankind. It is the Word of God, given to man, to navigate life according to its precepts and His instructions. 

The Bible was penned by more than 40 contributing authors over a period of more than 1,500 years. Its pages are filled with history, poetry, wisdom and prophecy. Within its depths and vaults of knowledge, the purpose and meaning of life is revealed. The Bible has changed the world, forever.  

John Bornschein has developed this companion piece, “History of the Bible," to expand your understanding of the origins of the Bible, its history, and how it was canonized. This book will deepen your faith to trust that God has given us His written Word. It is complete and every word is true. This compilation is the result of years of research featuring content from some of the most studied theologians and historians. With 41,947 words, 12 chapters, 200 pages and over 75 images and illustrations, this resource will thoroughly equip you with an in-depth study of how the modern Bible came to be.

The leadership of Calvary Fellowship Fountain Valley has intentionally reduced overhead expenses to direct more resources to local outreach and international missions. Who can fathom the potential of the church when we stop programming ministry for people and start propelling people into ministry?

The key for all of us is an intense desire and intentional effort to make every one of our lives count for the multiplication of the gospel in the world.

Regardless of your place in the church, remember that you are not intended to be sidelined in the kingdom of God. You may at times feel like the wrong person, thinking you are not gifted enough, smart enough, talented enough, or qualified enough to engage in effective ministry. This is simply not true. You have to Word of God before you, the Spirit of God in you, and the command of God to you: make disciples of all nations. So whether you are a businessman or a businesswoman, a lawyer or a doctor, a consultant or a construction worker, a teacher or a student, an on-the-go professional or an on-the-go stay-at-home mom, we implore you to ask God to make your life count where you live for the spread of the gospel and the declaration of his glory to the ends of the earth.
