Mirror Bible (Wide Margin) by Francois Du Toit

People who have stopped reading the Bible or never even read it before say about The Mirror, I have never read anything that touched me so deeply, it is a brand new Bible, I cannot wait to give it to all my friends The Mirror Bible is a paraphrase from the original Greek text. While the detailed shades of meaning of every Greek word have been closely studied, this is done taking into account the consistent context of the entire chapter within the wider epistle, and bearing in mind the full context of Jesus as the revealer and redeemer of the image and likeness of the invisible God in human form, which is what the message of the Bible is all about. To assist the reader in their study, I have numerically superscripted the Greek word and corresponded it with the closest English word in the italicized commentary that follows. This is to create a direct comparison of words between the two languages. Many words used in previous translations have adopted meanings in time that distract from the original thought. Individual words can greatly influence the interpretation of any conversation. For years deliberate as well as oblivious errors in translations were repeated and have empowered the religious institutions of the day to influence, manipulate and even abuse masses of people. Consider the word metanoia, consisting of two components, meta, together with, and nous, mind, suggesting a radical mind shift. This word has always been translated as repentance, which is an old English word borrowed from the Latin word, penance. Then they added the re to get even more mileage out of sin consciousness. Re-penance. This gross deception led to the perverted doctrines of indulgences, where naive, ignorant people were led to believe that they needed to purchase favor from an angry god. Most cathedrals as well as many ministries were funded with guilt money. The Bible is a dangerous book It has confused and divided more people than any other document. Scriptures have been used to justify some of the greatest atrocities in human history. People were tortured, burned to death and multitudes murdered based on somebody's understanding of the scriptures Jesus, Paul and believers throughout the ages faced their greatest opposition from those who knew the scriptures. If it is such a dangerous document, how does one approach the book? The Mirror unveils the Incarnation Code as the key that unlocks the mystery message of scripture. The romance of the ages is revealed here.

Francois and Lydia met on August 25, 1974, while he was working for Youth For Christ. He was nineteen and she was sixteen! Francois also served with Youth with a Mission for a year in 1978. Renaldo, Tehilla, Christo, and Stefan are their four wonderful children, as well as two adorable grandkids, Nicola and Christiaan. They married in January 1979 and have four wonderful children: Renaldo, Tehilla, Christo, and Stefan. They served in a full-time mission for fourteen years, during which time they also pastored a church and oversaw a five-year training program that served over 700 students.

They then left the ministry and worked in the tourism industry for ten years. They developed and maintained a Safari Resort in the Sabi Sand Game Reserve before relocating to Hermanus and launching Southern Right Charters, a boat-based whale watching company. Francois began writing God Believes in You in December of 2000, which led to his being called to speak at several Christian camps and churches. They have been traveling abroad and into Africa, as well as South Africa, on a regular basis since February 2004.

They moved from Hermanus to a rural property in the Swartberg Mountains in 2015 to devote their time on writing and translation. They've also halted the majority of their travel.
