Examples of resources

We'll soon be publishing a proper collection with many more resources

Coming mid-2023

Initiatives

Groups that have formed with the goal of freely sharing resources.

Several organizations have openly licensed a large volume of Bible translations they own. Most of them are not in English (see the bibles page for open English translations).

Books & courses

Most free books are on the actual topic of generosity, and so there is still a big need for free theological and pastoral books.
