What is it?

 

The PLP is a collection of articles useful for evangelism and discipleship. It has been designed to equip a grass-roots movement of non-denominational believers with tools to help them to reach out in evangelism and discipleship—with minimum expense.

 

Each article is provided in a pdf file format that can be easily printed out on your own computer printer.

 

One version of each article can be printed, folded, and stapled to make 5.5 X 8.5 inch booklets. Some booklets are also provided in a files which can be printed out in an 8.5 X 11 loose-leaf format that can be bound in a notebook or those who prefer that form. Many titles have full color illustrations, and can be printed in either color or black and white. And for those who prefer online reading, all titles are also provided in separate files which can be read page by page on a computer screen, and can be magnified on the screen to any size desired for clear viewing, even by those with vision problems.

 

The material does not promote any denomination or organization, but is instead designed for individuals, fellowship groups, and church congregations to use for their own outreach efforts.

 

The collection currently consists of 69 titles. Others are in the works and will be announced as each becomes available.

 

How does it work?

 

You have unlimited permission to print as many copies of any of the booklets in the collection, as often as you like, for free distribution. Although the content of the booklets should not be altered in any way, and should include the copyright and contact information for the author, you are welcome to add a sticker to the back of the booklet with contact information for your own group.

 

What topics are covered?

 

The collection is comprehensive. A variety of series of booklets discuss basic doctrines such as the Sabbath and annual Feasts and Holy Days; fundamentals of effective Bible study; the basics of the salvation message; Christian daily living principles; answers to puzzling Bible questions, and much more.

Usage Tips

 

All of the files are provided in the PDF format. They can be read on a computer screen and printed out as desired with a PDF-reading software program such as Adobe Acrobat Reader. If you do not have such a reader, the Adobe Reader can be downloaded and installed on your computer free of charge from the following website.

 

http://get.adobe.com/reader/

 

Once you have the Reader installed, use it to open any of the files that you download from the PLP site.

 

The Onscreen Reading files will display one 5.5 X 8.5 inch page at a time on your computer screen, and you scroll down to read the next page. The Adobe reader allows you to enlarge the print on the screen if you need to for easier reading.

 

The files in the Booklet Printing subdirectory have the separate pages combined together in two-page spreads, and arranged correctly so that once printed out on two sides, they can be folded and stapled to make small booklets.

 

The files in the Looseleaf Format subdirectory have the material re-arranged into two-column 8.5 X 11 inch page form. Once printed out, either one-sided or two-sided, they may be three-hole-punched and bound into a notebook.
