Paul's Handkerchief is Bible study with a difference — going word-by-word through Scripture to reclaim the Ancient Near East context, romance, and mystery that modern translations often leave behind.

Only about 3% of people around the world who start the Bible ever finish it. The 3% Club is for those ready to break that cycle — reading the entire Bible at their own pace, backed by community and tools built to make finishing not just possible, but inevitable. You also get a certificate to celebrate your achievement.

Bible Cafe isn't just Bible study — it's a personal, intimate conversation with Him. Think less classroom, more kitchen table. It combines the original Coffee with Jesus experience with activities like quizzes, crosswords, journaling and more, all designed to let the Word shape your heart, not just your head.

Most English Bibles can't carry the full weight of what's in the original Hebrew and Greek. The F.O.G Bible Project exists to change that — three new translations built publicly (a Study Bible, a Reader's Bible, and F.O.G Jr. for younger readers), plus a word-by-word renewal of Strong's Concordance restoring the depths most translations leave behind. It is Jean Paul's lifelong work, unfolding in public — and you're invited in.

Jean Paul Joseph is the lead editor of the F.O.G Bible Project. He works from a personal encounter with Jesus first, then draws on the scholarship of respected Jewish and Christian scholars — because the church was Jewish before it was anything else, and those roots change everything about how you read Scripture.

The F.O.G

I looked at the land—and behold, it was wild and waste! I looked to the skies—and their light was gone.

I looked at the earth, and it was formless and void; I looked to the heavens, and they had no light.

Footnotes

*Tohu wavohu* (תֹּהוּ וָבֹהוּ) is the exact phrase used in Gen. 1:2 to describe the primordial chaos before creation began. Jeremiah's vision is a deliberate act of prophetic *de-creation*: covenant judgment reverses the order of Genesis. The sequence in vv. 23–26 systematically undoes the creation days — light extinguished (Day 1), mountains quaking (foundational stability dissolved), no human beings or birds (Days 5–6), fruitful land become desert (Day 3 reversed). This is not merely military defeat; it is cosmic unmaking. FOG renders *tohu wavohu* as "wild and waste" to echo its original sound and primordial strangeness; FOG Message retains "formless void" to make the Genesis echo immediately audible.
