Close to Jehovah Bk. 3-line-with-scriptures EPUB & web material for ch. 18, par. 1–8 has been added to:

Also, the material for par. 9 to the end of ch. 18 is included in the web material, with a grey background. It has not yet received final editing, but is otherwise usable.


The colour scheme has recently been revised to make the Pīnyīn more prominent and readable, since I believe that the Pīnyīn line is the most important line out of the three lines.

  • The above resources are mobile-friendly—the EPUB & web material is quite legible and usable on everything from desktop/laptop PCs and Macs to iPads and other tablets to iPhones and other smartphones.

Bible Teach Bk. Pīnyīn Web Material For All of Ch. 2 Added

Bible Teach book Pīnyīn web material for all of chapter 2 has been added to:

Besides the addition of new material, the above resources have also been re-architected as follows:

  • Footnotes and the full text of cited scriptures have been moved to be at the end of the same web page that the referring links are on, to the section entitled Jīngwén hé Jiǎozhù. This moves the footnotes out of the text flow of the main body, and it speeds up scripture lookups.
  • To match the style of official EPUB files and apps, the study questions have been moved to be before their paragraph(s) rather than after them.
  • Picture links now appear at the same places in the text flow that their corresponding pictures appear at in the offical EPUB files, websites, and apps.

Note that:

  • The material in the above resources has been carefully rendered and proofread.
  • Since the Bible Teach book may get revised, the material in the above resources has been checked against the Chinese Bible Teach book material on the WOL. If you notice that some changes need to be made to the material in the above resources to bring it in line with revisions to the Bible Teach book, please email me to let me know.
  • The linked full text in Pīnyīn of all the cited scriptures is included in the above resources.
  • The above resources are mobile-friendly—they are quite legible and usable on everything from desktop/laptop PCs and Macs to iPads and other tablets to iPhones and other smartphones.
  • In the above resources, links are used extensively to make it quick and easy to get around in the material, drastically reducing the amount of manual scrolling needed.
  • The above resources contain picture links.
  • The Offline Viewing sections of the above resources explain how to view them offline. Of course, in addition to being downloadable and viewable offline, the web pages of the above web resources can also be printed out from your web browser.
  • Turning mobile devices to landscape orientation causes the text in the above resources to become large-print text.
  • For your convenience, a short link is available for the above resources.

Also, the introductions explain why it’s good to use Pīnyīn as a writing system on its own.
