Kingdom Speak《國度語彙》

【内容简介】
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.

本書針對正在學習中文（ 國語或廣東話） 的非華語基督徒，幫助他們與華人傾談與信仰有關的話題，分享信仰，參與崇拜、團契或聚會，並以中文為他人禱告。 

藉着《國度語彙》，讀者可以：

• 按照依英文字母顺序排列丶與基督教相關的條目，輕易找到特定英文詞匯的對應中文用詞或說法；
• 藉着参考「漢語拼音」和「耶鲁式廣州話拼音」的發音指南，不論讀者是否看得懂中文字，都能輕鬆地讀出中文詞句；
• 使用聖經書卷簡寫列表來快速識别中文聖經段落；
• 祝福他人，並以中文與他人談論信仰；
• 在各種情况下——從祟拜到一對一的面談——用中文撰寫禱文；
• 即使讀者仍處於學習中文的早期階段，也可以在各種情况下為他人祈禱；
• 在互聯網受限制的地區，擁有寶貴的中文基督教資源。
