I found this software on-line called "Blub." I have not used it yet but apparently after formatting the text, you can then have it published. 20 - 40 softcover copies start at $12.95. (Pricing and shipping information is here.)

I would love to get something like this done as the large binders I carry around with me are a bit cumbersome.

Has anyone else found similar software (or a printing service)?

How cool is that? Thanks Yada for finding that. I had no idea that there was such a service. I wonder what they would say once Yada's/Ken's material started flowing in to them. Would they require some sort of authorization from Yada or Ken to produce these?
YY would have to be a series. Maybe just like Yada has them seperated currently: One book would be "Genesis" encompassing all the chapters within it, and the next book would be "The called out" and so on. I also would like to eliminate huge binders, and this sounds perfect. As it is now, I only carry around 2 or 3 chapters at a time so as to avoid the forty pound book. Thanks again, and I look forward to hearing about copyright issues.

Yup, KP is right... it's gonna get mighty expensive printing tomes! What I do is to print it out an extra copy (back-up) on A4 double-sided and bind it, and very carefully lend it to those whom I perceive to really seek the Truth. I may give one or two chapters only depending on the topic at hand and see how they respond. If they have Internet access, then I pass them the websites so that they can go get the rest. If they do not have Internet access but want to know more, I'll give chapter by chapter or a few chapters at a time. I have even helped copy the pdfs to thumbdrives or CD-ROMS for distribution. After all my experiences, I have learned not to, er, "throw pearls to swine." Those who hunger for more will definitely return after a taste of the Truth, whereas those who want to continue in their ignorance shall put away whatever is given.

A quick aside... I had always wondered about predestination and why Yahushua spoke in parables. When Scripture showed that He spoke in parables purposely to cloud the meaning of His teachings, it went against the grain of practically every evangelical church teachings which claim that the bible is clear and for everyone. So with this understanding, I have realised that no one really can come to Yahushua unless Yahweh draws him near. So no amount of expensive free books is likely to change anything other than make us broke, but a few free chapters from TOM, YY, FH, POD or other books may be enough to expose the reader to the Word. Putting everything on CD-ROM is the cheapest way to go. Maybe KP can put his skills to work again and create some nice CD stickers/labels. :-)

They have to be ready for it. Last year I tried teaching FH at the church I was attending, and sadly no one wanted to hear it. If fact, I later found out that people were complaining to the pastor about what I was teaching them. Even my wife wasn't into it. Oh, she believed me, but she didn't really grasp things. Later in the year, I tried reading YY with her, and she had a hard time with that, so we stopped. Recently though, we started reading TOM together and now she is ready. The Ruach HaQodesh has been working in her and she thirst for the truth, and she has a much easier time understanding it now. So, it is all a matter of it the person is ready for it. Unfortunantly, most never will be.

I printed the whole TOM for my mom, I just hope she is ready for it. Though, I don't think she has even read the first word yet.

DD, you are so right!! you gota wana!! Sometimes I am just blown away like today. I spent 2 hours talking to a woman about YY and the first thing she said was I will take the weekend to fast and pray and then I'll start reading on Monday!!! If everyone had that attitude!!! There is no cheap way of doing this but it's money well spent!!
It's costing me very little compared to what it has cost and is costing Yada and KP!! THANKS GUYS!!!

Icy - I just put in an announcement in a local magazine for a TOM Sabbath Study Group that I would like to form. Do you (or anyone else) have any suggestions as to how to actually conduct a class?

Thanks.

Have you looked at Lightning Source: Print on Demand Publisher
They offer the following benenfits:

You submit your electronic pdf file to them and they handle everything else.

They list the book in the catalogs of the world's largest distribution channel of wholesalers, retailers and booksellers, and then it's a simple matter for the publisher to list it on Amazon. Then those of us who want the books in printed format can order them from Amazon.

Lightning Source handles all aspects of order management including receipt of payment, printing, fulfillment, and paying the publisher for the books that have been purchased each month, so it would not require much time for Yada & KP.

Copyright and sales price are set by the publisher (Yada & KP respectively) so the books could be sold at or near cost which should put the per copy price around $5 and still provide a small profit to go towards recovery of the initial setup fee.

And as far as I can tell there is nothing to prevent the same pdf from being available for free as it currently is online since Lightening Source does not own the copywrite for the published version.

It is print on demand, so there are no minimum order quantities, nothing to warehouse or inventory, and the book would always be in print. When an updated version is ready, just upload a new pdf and pay the setup costs (see below) and it is ready to go.

More information on using Lightning Source as a POD Publisher is available on the following website:
Examples of POD Costs

In general, there would be a "small" setup cost that varies on the number of pages, size of book, and type of binding.
If the larger books like Yada Yahweh were published in volumes of about 400-500 pages, then the setup cost would be something like $300-$500 for each volume.

I would gladly spend $5 per volume to get these books in printed format although I would recommend publishing 'Questioning Paul' and perhaps 'Prophet of Doom' first.

Publishing of 'Yada Yahweh', 'Owners Manual', 'Future History' and the other books would probably be better AFTER the quotes and commentary about 'Paul says...' are removed. I for one have no interest in reading anything written by the false apostle Paul, so I would prefer to purchase these books in print once they have been cleansed of his words.

Nice recommendation regarding Lightning Source. It would be nice to have a hard (or paperback) copy of the books and I would be willing to buy them. I printed out TOM Vol.1 doubled sided and printed POD two pages per page and double sided.



I don't see KP editing his books, I don't think he's rejected Paul's writings, or at least not since I last spoke to him concerning the subject a few months ago.
