New Resources From Us for You

By Mark A. Taylor

Not long ago we received a note from a reader who mentioned he had missed several issues of CHRISTIAN STANDARD. He didn’t even realize this till he saw a letter to the editor about an article of interest to him, but he had never seen the article!

The incident reminds us that we publish a lot of good material that some people even regular readers never see. So we’ve decided to make some of it available a second time.

As a start, we’re offering three different series as downloadable reprints. All these articles appeared in CHRISTIAN STANDARD within the last year. All of them offer teaching about issues that concern everyday Christians as well as church leaders. All of them are available as downloads you can purchase from our Web site. All of them have been attractively reformatted to make them easy for you to file or share. (With each download you’re purchasing the right to make 10 copies.)

To get your copies, click on the links below. And keep watching for other helpful downloads as we make them available in the future.
