- Faith -

When you come to the edge of all the light you know, and are about to step off into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing one of two things will happen: There will be something solid to stand on, or you will be taught how to fly.

Overton, Patrick., "The Leaning Tree: Poems"

-[ World English Bible ]-

The World English Bible (also known as WEB) is a public domain translation of the Bible that is currently in draft form. It is based on the 1901 American Standard Version, the Greek Majority Text, and the Hebrew Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia. The New Testament is considered complete and is available in print.

Work on the World English Bible began in 1997 and was known as the American Standard Version 1997. The World English Bible project was started to produce a modern English Bible version that is not copyrighted, doesn't use archaic English (such as the KJV), or isn't translated in Basic English (such as the Bible In Basic English). The World English Bible follows the American Standard Version's unusual decision to transliterate the Tetragrammaton, but updates "Jehovah" to be "Yahweh".

(Jia: In my opinion, no copyright is the highest level of sharing. It actually allows anyone to copy, print, and distribute the text without any sort of royalties. Deeply moved by such volunteer project.)

-[ CCEL ]-

The Christian Classics Ethereal Library is a volunteer-based project to provide free electronic copies of Christian scripture and literature texts.

Without username and password, anonymous readers still can choose to read online or download TXT files. However readers will be able to download other format (e.g. PDF) once they login. To obtain username and password, registration is required. THE REGISTRATION IS FREE OF CHARGE.

Login with the username and password, readers then can download 5 books without any charge. After that a message will invite readers to donate. The best part is that readers can choose the option at the bottom of the page:"No thanks. Please continue with the download of ***".

(Jia: Donation is virtue. However do not feel bad if you can not afford any at present. Read and think, heed and obey. When you are ready to help, do not hesitate to be the blessing of other people.)
