The new French youth Bible, launched in May, is already a great success: the French Bible Society sold 25,000 copies in just one month!

“Begun seven years ago, the ZeBible project seems to deliver on its promises,” wrote the French weekly magazine, Réforme. “And the new Bible gives a fresh impetus to ecumenism in France.”

The daring venture - to offer a tool to help young people read the Bible - has paid off thanks to a number of factors, which are elaborated in the following articles. Perhaps this focus on the ZeBible project will give you some ideas for your own projects?
