Some reasons for this site!
 
This site will help you find essential and interesting information in God's Word.
 

It provides concise easy to follow Bible info sheets, leaflets, charts and guides designed for easy home printout, plus a handy 'Ask a Bible question?' facility.

Low resolution scans are attached to some of the guides for previewing page layout.

Much of the material could be used for Bible info groups or for your own personal witnessing or quick reference.



 

Printing PDF files at 100%

Be sure to print all the files on this site at 100%.  This is  especially important with three or four column landscape leaflets. 

To print at 100% with Adobe Reader simply select 'none' in the print menu 'page scaling' and be sure to tick the 'Auto-Rotate and Centre' box directly underneath this scaling adjustment to maintain the central location of the printed matter.

Make sure you have selected the A4 paper size in your print menu.  Many printers come with 'letter' size set as a default setting, so you need to change this to A4 for a good printout with correct margins.
