OUT NOW!


‘In the beginning, which some time before the Treaty of Waitangi, God made some stuff – like kumara and kiwifruit, kauri and rimu.’

It started with the original Kiwi Bible, which went down a treat with a whole stack of readers. The team then got together to bring you the prequel: The Kiwi Bible: Some of the Early Stuff. This new tome is specifically early pre-Jesus stuff. There’s a heap of narrative, ten fairly basic rules, a couple of poems and then it’s rounded off by a few reasonably with-it guys fair ripping into the crowd for what they were up to.

Welcome to the Kiwi Bible...
How on earth do you go about writing a Bible? It’s a couple of millennia since the last major Bible-writing exercise took place, so this means there’s currently a shortage of people who know how to put a Bible together. More...

The more I read about Jesus, the more I am convinced he'd have been right at home in a rural Kiwi pub, sinking an ale. Chris Grantham has written an intriguing and thought-provoking take on how some of the New Testament might look from across the A & P showgrounds in heartland New Zealand.
Rob Harley, Christian author and communicator

Who says the Bible's dull? This is a humorous – yet by no means diluted – contemporary perspective of the most popular book ever written.
Nathan King, singer/songwriter.

The Kiwi Bible is refreshingly unique. It's great to read God's living words in the language and style of your typical Kiwi bloke.
Ian Grant

Right from the first page I was captivated with this book and read it straight through at one sitting....Grantham's writing is lively, with a touch of humour.
