LOWEST-COST MISSIONARY CDs - TO HELP YOU HELP OTHERS

HARVESTIME MISSIONARY CD-ROMs

EDUCATIONAL CD-ROMs

The twentieth century saw great changes in people’s lives and habits with the invention of radio and television. Now the personal computer (PC) has once again again revolutionized people’s work and entertainment habits. Originally a novelty that appealed only to a few technically-inclined individuals in the 70s and 80s, the invention of user-friendly interfaces such as Microsoft Windows, has opened the floodgates for a computer gadget invasion. They are now everywhere, doing absolutely everything.

Even though many of us who are older, tend to resist this invasion of hardware, software, rams, ROMs and bytes; yet rare is the person whose life is unaffected by computers.

We want to here present you with several new missionary projects, using CDs, which you can use to help others. These are excellent for missionary work.

Computers are able to share valuable information on many subjects, including Bible and Spirit of Prophecy truths. The interactive Multimedia computers of the 90’s and beyond are among the best teaching and educating tools ever placed in our hands.

Throughout the world, not only others but also our own people are beginning to make use of PC computers and laptops. Using the internet, we are now able to make contact with, and share helpful material with many others.

Using the same html technology that produces web pages, and also making use of PDF E-books, it is now possible to produce interactive, attractive, and easy to use reference resources on the tiny CD-ROM, giving a person literally hundreds of books to read, share, and even print, all accessible to anyone with a reasonably modern computer.

Because these small plastic discs are also easily mailed around the world, they make a very economical way to share the message in far-away lands!

Yet you may wonder, do people in the third world actually own computers? Yes, a surprising number of people in Asia, Philippines, Africa, and many other places do have access to computers—and many even own them. India probably has more computer literacy than we have, Both Japan and China are really "into computers" now.

Those to whom you send these missionary CD-ROMs can use them in many ways. Entire Bible Courses with lovely pictures and reference materials can be used on laptops to present programs right in the people’s homes! Reference materials in the E-Books we provide you with, can easily be printed from your computer—and multi-printed at any copy-shop. Often the humble lay-person receiving these resource CDs will be able to print copies, which they can hand out to friends and neighbors.

As a tool in education the CD-ROM is a jewel. Even children from the earliest years are attracted to this, and can learn from these computer-based materials.

In the world, there is a scarcity of quality materials for children. At the present time, very few truth-filled CD-ROMs are available. Of the few which are—most are prohibitively expensive.

The need for quality children’s material is especially great. Because there is so much trash on the market for children, parents are pleading for something worthwhile.

(By the way, our children’s CDs, especially, could easily be sold for a profit by those of you who are colporteurs!)

HB CD 1

BIBLE SCHOOL CD

This CD is for adults, teenagers, or early teens. It could also be used in a home school.

1 - COMPLETE FAMILY BIBLE STUDIES—Using Harvestime’s excellent Bible Course book, Family Bible Studies we have developed an entire Bible School all on a single CD-ROM!

This CD has all that you need, regardless of whether you want to (1) study these lessons for yourself, (2) provide in a very attractive form an excellent doctrinal foundation of basic Bible studies for your older children, or (3) conduct your own Bible School. Your correspondence school can either be in the homes of neighbors, or in a mail-out arrangement to folk living at a distance.

The Bible School CD has the full 31 lessons in web format, illustrated with hundreds of excellent pictures. For each of the 31 lessons there is also a true story section with Exciting true stories to press home the message of each lesson. Especially attractive for children, adults love these stories too.

2 - POWER POINT SLIDE SHOW—We have also included in this CD a complete high-resolution Power Point slide show for each of the 31 lessons. These slide shows can be shown on your own PC for yourself, your family or even invite friends and have Bible Study meetings. Many people take their lap-top computers right into homes and show these slideshows as they present the Bible lessons to interests. Even folk in Africa and India are using this method and these very slideshows are already being shown in churches.

3 - FAMILY BIBLE STUDIES IN PDF E-BOOK—We have also placed on this single CD—the entire Family Bible Studies book in a PDF e-book, which can either be read, or used to print free copies of the book!

Just as you will find in Family Bible Studies, the printable form of each of the 31 lessons includes both the 31 full-length Bible studies, as well as the short two-page, fill-in-the-blanks version. You can easily print out which pages you need and make copies to use as handouts.

4 - FULL INSTRUCTIONS ON GIVING BIBLE STUDIES—Also included is all the valuable guidance from the back of our Family Bible Studies on how to find interests for Bible studies, how to give Bible studies, how to answer objections, how to bring them to decisions, extra lesson supplements, and much more. A group could get together and, from the back of the book, learn how to give Bible Studies, —and then take this CD out and give them!

In summary, this is a complete Bible School study tool.

All these lessons are in KJV Authorized Version only! As you know, it is becoming quite difficult today to find worthwhile Bible studies in the KJV.

5 - ENTIRE TEXT OF THE KJV—In addition, the text of the entire KJV Bible is also included on this CD in 2 formats: PDF and also RTF!

Acrobat Readers and Power Point viewers are included on the disc for those who may not have internet access to download them free online.

6 - AUTO-START FEATURE—The Auto-Start feature allows you to insert the CD in any computer with Windows 98, or better, and the program will open up an index so you can access the contents.

PRICE—Such productions are usually sold for $30-50, but we are making this available for only $10.00 + $2.50 p&h, or 4 (of a single CD title) for $30.00 + $2.50 P&H. Buy extras and send them to loved ones, to churches, and to overseas missionaries!

In an effort to provide, in an easily affordable form, both seed to the sower and bread to the eater; we have endeavored to draw together a bountiful collection of helpful materials: Her writings, a collection of biographical and defense items, plus several useful compilations from her works. We offer this collection at a price that all can afford, so they can use and share this freely and widely with those who long for this treasure and do not have access to it.

Especially unique on this CD are the defense books and articles, as well as historic material our website is famous for. Here are some of these items:

Non-released books and miscellaneous: Released Books; Very Early Publications; Health & Hygienic Living; Magazine Articles; Tracts & Pamphlets; Manuscripts

HB CD 4

GRANNY’S PICTURE FLIPBOOKS

A delightful CD-ROM for Pre-School to Grade 2 age groups. This CD opens up to a virtual bookshelf containing 20 delightful picture books.

A click of the mouse on any one of them opens up a virtual book whose pages can be turned just like a real book. Hundreds of non-cartoon nature photos and art-quality color pictures fill these books to delight the younger set.

As soon as a child can click a mouse, he can enjoy this CD, and even tiny tots love to see these books. Some of the books contain real animal sounds and music.

A complete Bible Story Primer in two parts is included. Field tested, we found that these flip-books delighted small children for hours. In a world where so much ugliness in children’s entertainment exists, this CD will introduce little folk to the love of God and the beauty of God’s Creation.

PRICE—Only $10.00 + $2.50 p&h, or 4 (of a single title) for $30.00 + $2.50 P&H. Buy extras and send them to loved ones, to churches, and to overseas missionaries!

MORE ABOUT CDs, MP3s, and CD-ROMs

For those who are trying to unravel the mystery of those little round plates, called "CDs", here is a quick instructional course.

CD-ROMs: The CD-ROM ("compact disc with read-only memory"), also called "CD," can only be used on computers, laptops, or similar devices. It contains a program that computers can run, and provides you with written information or pictures.

There is no limit to the type of printed material which can be put onto a CD-ROM. Our CD-ROMs contain many E-Books in PDF form. These can be opened on a computer, and read like a book using an Acrobat Reader (which is free to anyone with internet access).

Paper copies can also be printed on any computer which has a printer. Pictures, music, audio books and many other things all can be placed on a CD-ROM.

AUDIO CDs: Audio CDs are much like vinyl phonograph records or audio cassette tapes, but better sound quality. They are played on audio CD players, but can also be played on any reasonably up-to-date computer.

These audio CDs are the type commonly sold in music stores. Each one has as much playing time as an audio cassette tape, and therefore it requires several audio CDs to provide you with an audio book.

AUDIO MP3 CDs: The last few years has seen the arrival of a new form of Audio CD, which uses a system called MP3. This condenses the sound and allows literally hundreds of songs or entire books to be placed on a single CD! When played back on an appropriate machine there is no loss of sound quality.

These can be played on any reasonably up-to-date computer, and also on special MP3 players which are gradually becoming more available. They do NOT play on an ordinary audio CD player.

For those who have computers, the MP3 is an excellent way to have a lot of audio material on a single disc. Several small books or even a large book like Desire of Ages can be placed on a single MP3 CD.

They are economical for shipping to other countries, since each one costs about as much to mail as a letter, and the CDs can be copied by anyone with a CD burner on their computer. Computers are fairly common in countries like India, Asia. They are even in Africa.

Let us do all we can to get the work on earth done! It is time we went home!
