Authentic Media has released a new special edition of the ERV Gospel of Mark for the Olympic Games.
The ERV (Easy-to-Read Version) was developed over 30 years from its origins as the English Version for the Deaf, which also gave rise to the NCV and ICB translations.
It was intended for outreach to the deaf and people for whom English is not their first language. It's easy-to-read format also makes it ideal for the un-churched.
The special Olympics edition of the ERV Gospel of Mark features ERV anglicised text and profiles of Christian sports men and women likely to take centre stage at the Games, such as Allyson Felix in the 400m sprint, Debbie Flood in rowing, and Maya Moore in basketball.
There is also a Gospel presentation and contact details for response and follow-up.
Authentic is offering a 5-pack for just £4.99, making it an ideal outreach tool for churches during the Games.
Other sports resources released ahead of the Olympics include "Complete Surrender", the updated biography of Olympic gold medallist and missionary Eric Liddell by Julian Wilson, and "Beyond the Gold", a useful guide by Bryan Mason to developing church sport and recreation ministries. Mason's book is especially ideal for churches running sports programmes for the 2012 Olympics.
