KINGDOM SPEAK《国度语汇》

【內容介紹】

Kingdom Speak is a reference book intended to help Christian learners of Mandarin or Cantonese to bridge the gap between mainstream Chinese language resources and their desire to learn Christian words and phrases quickly, make reference to the Bible in Chinese, and pray for others at a very early stage in their Chinese language learning.

The book is easy to use whether or not learners can read Chinese characters, as the phonetic representation of each character is provided for both Mandarin and Cantonese. The alphabetical listings make it easy to find specific vocabulary items and Bible words. With sections providing the most useful and important expressions, prayer phrases and complete, easy-to-memorise prayers on a variety of relevant topics, users can very quickly begin to engage in faith-related conversations, share Christ, participate in Christian worship and pray for others in Chinese.

本书针对正在学习中文（ 国语或广东话） 的非华语基督徒，帮助他们与华人倾谈与信仰有关的话题，分享信仰，参与崇拜、团契或聚会，并以中文为他人祷告。
