Good Christian study books and Study Bibles are scarce, and thus in great demand. It will take years for the Amity Press to print enough literature to meet the needs of all the Christian workers and believers in China. Because of this, China Partner has undertaken a literature distribution program.
In conjunction with each PTS, China Partner provides mini-libraries to students, faculty, and pastors; since 1991, it has distributed over 30,000 Bible study and reference books. It also helps to stock libraries at the various seminaries and Bible schools in which it ministers.
During each PTS, China Partner leaves a set of eight to ten books with each participant. The students can then use these resources for further independent study and for study guides in their churches. Copies of texts are left with the participants as well as the faculty and administration of each school in which CP teaches. Some of the books that have been included in these “mini libraries” are listed below:
- The Essential Meaning of the Bible (8 volumes) by Rev. Jia Yu-ming
- Sanctification and Reward by Rev. Yang Shaotang (David Yang)
- What the Bible is All About by Dr. Henrietta Mears
- Bible Concordance
- New Bible Commentary (copyright from CCL, Hong Kong)
- Exposition of Epistles in the New Testament (2 volumes) by Rev. Chen Zhong-dao
- Hermeneutics
- Basic Doctrine of Christianity
- Homiletics
- Christian Education
- Letters of Paul
- Understanding Acts
- Introduction to the Pentateuch
- Life and Works of a Christian
- The Model of Christian Workers
Without exception, the recipients of these books are overwhelmed with the thought that these books are their own to keep; to them they are a priceless treasure. They usually take them back with them to their hometowns where other church leaders will also benefit from this "treasure."
