NEW Book, FREE PDF download–The Good News of Salvation in Jesus Why you need it and how to make it yours
The Good News of Salvation in Jesus
Why you need it and how to make it yours
By Yvon Prehn
We could all use some good news. In a world filled with uncertainty, disappointment, and unanswered questions, the good news of salvation in Jesus offers lasting hope: forgiveness, a restored relationship with God, purpose for today, and eternal life with Him.
But what does that mean? Why do we need salvation? What did Jesus do for us? How do we respond—and what happens after we become a Christian?
In this short, approachable book, Bible805 founder and Bible teacher Yvon Prehn walks readers through these important questions with clear explanations, everyday illustrations, and teaching from the Bible. Whether you are exploring Christianity for the first time, have attended church but still feel unsure about salvation, or want to explain your faith to someone else, this book provides a welcoming place to begin.

Revive your interest in the Bible—fascinating facts about prophecy, God and time, & and why the Bible is like your favorite novel
Revive your interest in the Bible 
This lesson challenges us to see the Bible not as a scattered collection of loosely related writings, but as one coherent story with God as its primary Author. Its structure follows the movement of a great story—from creation and humanity’s rebellion, through God’s preparation for redemption, to the climax of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, and finally to Christ’s return and the New Heaven and New Earth. The lesson also explores how true history, predictive prophecy, and progressive revelation support the unity of the Bible. Because God is outside of time, He can reveal His plan across centuries while working through many human writers. The lesson concludes by asking where each of us fits in God’s great story and urges us to know the Bible well, obey it, and faithfully live the part God has given us.

The Bible, Human or Divine? Three Reasons we know God really is the author of the Bible
This lesson covers a lot—how true history is the foundation for our trust in God’s authorship of the Bible, how it validates both predictive prophecy and progressive revelation, the place of freewill in God’s sovereign plan, and finally how there is One voice in the Bible.
As I was putting all these topics together I was in awe of how beautifully our God has arranged His Word and how the more we study it, the more our trust in it can grow.
I was also overwhelmed with the implications of how the topics fit together—particularly how important it is to see the entire historical span of history and how predictive prophecy fits into it. The lesson includes a newly created infographic of prophecy, the Biblical writers, and world history—I hope you’ll find it as exciting as I did to see how God works through it all.
I hope it makes sense—this is a topic I want to explore more deeply and I’ll share the results with it. Until then, check out the lesson—it will give you some ideas that you may not have considered as you grow in your trust in the Bible and that our God is truly the author of it. [Read more…]
The Bible, Human or Divine? Three Reasons why we know God really is the author of the Bible
The Bible is not just a collection of ancient texts; it’s a divine communication that offers everything we need for a meaningful relationship with God. In this lesson, we explore the question of whether the Bible is human or divine, examining three compelling reasons that affirm its divine authorship. First, we’ll look at how the Bible’s content is rooted in true history, providing a solid foundation for understanding its significance. Next, we’ll discuss the unique nature of biblical prophecy, revealing how predictions made centuries ago have come to pass, indicating an author who exists outside of time. Finally, we’ll highlight the consistent voice throughout the Bible that resonates with divine truth, distinguishing it from other religious writings.

The Bible, Novel or Short Story Collection, part one—and why it matters tremendously, now and forever
You’ve probably not considered the question of whether the Bible is like a collection of short stories or a novel—it’s most likely not something you stay up at night thinking about, but, how you answer it is foundational to your understanding of the Bible, AND more importantly, in many ways how you respond to it.
If on the one hand, we believe the Bible is the creation of human authors, like a collection of short stories, though we feel it might have some inspiring and morally valid advice, it is our choice as a fellow human reader to pick and choose what we follow.
If on the other hand, we truly believe the Bible is ONE Story, with the structure of a Novel instead of a collection of short stories, written by God Himself, our Creator and the One to whom we will one day give account—our obedience and understanding of it isn’t optional.
This lesson will help you begin to understand the importance of looking at the Bible as a Novel and the lesson next week will continue the topic. One of the most fascinating parts of the lesson is where I go over the classic structure of a novel and show you how the Christian Bible overall is a perfect example of it—do check out the lesson in whatever format below works for you—your view of the Bible won’t ever be the same.

The Bible, Novel or Short Story Collection, Part One, why it matters tremendously now and forever
Understanding whether the Bible is a like a cohesive novel or a collection of short stories is crucial to how we engage with it and respond to its teachings. This lesson explores the implications of viewing the Bible as one unified story versus a scattered anthology of human writings. We unpack how these differing perspectives influence our interpretations and applications of biblical teachings in our lives. I’ll share insights on the historical context of these views, touching on the Enlightenment’s impact and the rise of human reason in biblical scholarship. We’ll also explore the structural elements of storytelling as outlined by Gustav Freytag, comparing them to the narrative of the Bible, ultimately revealing why seeing it as a single narrative authored by God carries profound significance for our faith and understanding of God’s purpose.

Who is Jesus Really? Answers from history, other religions, the Bible
The most important question anyone on earth needs to answer is, “Who is Jesus?”
This lesson examines that question by comparing the historical record, the teachings of other religions, and the testimony of the Bible. It emphasizes that Jesus is one of the best-attested figures of the ancient world, reviews historical sources inside and outside the Bible, contrasts Christianity’s understanding of Jesus with other worldviews, and challenges each person to decide who Jesus is and to live consistently with that answer.
The lesson is useful not only for giving you a solid foundation for sharing what you believe about Jesus, but also for those dark nights of the soul, when you have doubts. Our faith is solid and sure and this lesson will not only enlighten you, but I trust be of comfort to you.
