Traditional belief systems: 

• The Bible!  The most influential book in human history and a library of 66 books that include law, history, poetry, prophecy, the Gospel, history, letters and end with a book of vision.   There’s endless inspiration inside. 
• Bible commentaries and encyclopaedias (many are available online and free)
• Trusted Christian books and devotionals (e.g. Vision Radio provides free devotional magazines in hard copies and an app) Here: https://vision.org.au/the-word-for-today-reading/?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwjqWzBhAqEiwAQmtgT6-mV8Q6RyIyDIGKeU6ndA85BNVZNvNC_r69jOv5KFuBSxffXgtEVBoCSzYQAvD_BwE

Human experiences:

• Testimonies
• Hymns and spiritual songs
• Podcasts

• Everyday experiences
• Q and A’s

Source 3:  Me Talk

Individual patterns of belief:

• Personal testimonies
• Personal stories and insights
