Bible Teach Bk. Partially Proofread Pīnyīn Web Material or More Available Covering Up to the End of Ch. 14

The Bible Teach (bh) book has been an important book for conducting Bible studies for a long time. Partially proofread Pīnyīn web material (more correct than computer-generated Pīnyīn like that displayed by apps like Equipd, and more mobile-friendly than PDFs) or more covering up to the end of Chapter 14 of the Mandarin Bible Teach book is now available here:

In the above resource, the following web material is now available for the Mandarin Bible Teach book:

Proofread Pīnyīn Plus material:

  • Beginning to the end of Ch. 1, Par. 10

Partially proofread Pīnyīn and Pīnyīn Plus material:

  • Ch. 1, Par. 11 to the end of Ch. 14;
  • Appx. 1 to Appx. 9
  • Material with a grey background has been partially proofread. Pīnyīn material with a golden-hued background has been proofread, but not all of its “flashcards” have been added and proofread.

Production work on the above resource had to be diverted for a while to focus on the Teach Us book Pīnyīn Plus web material resource, but fortunately, there is much overlap and synergy between these two resources. E.g., it seems that the scriptures used are basically the same. So, going forward, work on one of these resources will have an unusual amount of applicability to the other one as well.
