    Stone the crows. The Bible Society of New South Wales has launched a book that uses the language of blokes and sheilas to a fair dinkum story.

    The Aussie Bible well bits of it anyway. The story of the good Samaritan becomes the story of the 'good bloke' for example.

    Reverend Peter Jensen, the Anglican archbishop of Sydney and the president of the bible society in New South Wales joined Mr Richards and singer Colin Buchanan at the launch in Sydney on August 21

    John Anderson, the deputy prime minister of Australia, writes in the foreword of the book about the importance of Australians familiarising themselves again with the teachings of the Bible.

    The books a great read, says Pastor Ray Coombe assistant to the president of the South Pacific Division of SDA.
