The Bible and you
  I can say with confidence:
         
  the Bible is important in my own life        
  I have a good grasp of the Bible's message        
  if there was a way to understand and apply the Bible better,   I'd like to know        
  the Bible has recently influenced one of my decisions        
  I use the Bible in teaching and helping others        
  I often use the Internet to look up Bible passages & resources        
  I have given a Bible as a gift        
  I would feel comfortable reading my Bible at work or in public        
 

The Bible and our country
  It seems that our country no longer looks to the Bible because:
         
  the church has lost its confidence in the Bible        
  the news media presents a negative view of the Bible        
  schools no longer teach the Bible or tell Bible stories        
  Christians have problems relating the Bible to daily life        
  not enough Christians speak up about the Bible's relevance to daily life        

The Bible and its influence
  The best way to bring back the Bible's influence is to promote its values in:
         
  the world of films, the arts and entertainment        
  the mass media - newspapers, television and radio        
  schools and universities        
  the world of politics and government        
  churches and Christian organisations        

The Bible and global mission
  Christians should make it their priority to respond to the problem that:
         
  half the world's 6,912 languages lack even one book of the Bible        
  a billion people don't read, and so require the Bible in audio        
  only 35 languages have the whole Bible in Braille        
  a billion people are too poor to afford a Bible        

The Bible and Church
  Churches and their leaders need:
         
  more help to understand and apply the Bible to daily life        
  fresh resources to use the Bible effectively with young people        
  insights to help make the Bible's message more relevant to local communities        

The Bible and your priorities
  The Bible Society has limited funds to spend. Our priority should be:
         
  to help the general public see the relevance of the Bible        
  to produce resources to help Christians understand and apply the Bible        
  to translate the Bible for those still waiting for God's written Word in their language        
  to shape attitudes to the Bible among those who influence our nation        
  to help Christians in poor countries afford the Bibles they long for
