Reading the whole library is free, to anyone, with no account at all. That is the front door and it stays open. What follows is for the man who wants to build something out of it and keep it.
The library is free to read. The plans are for saving, building, teaching and printing.
If your church cannot afford this, write to us. This is run as a ministry that pays its own way, not as a charity and not as a business that turns away a poor congregation.
A Fellowship plan for associations and networks over many churches is quoted by agreement, and comes once churches are on the platform. A church that wants its own existing programme brought into this structure is quoted as a service, and nothing under $1,500.
Named after the gift of helps. It opens the Bible to you, finds what the library already holds, and answers out of this library and the KJV — citing every claim, and saying so when it does not know.
We believe preaching is an inspired oracle ministry. “If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God” 1 Peter 4:11, KJV. A sermon is a message the Holy Ghost gives to the man God has called. It is born in prayer and study and delivered in the Spirit’s power; a machine cannot compose it. So Helps will open the Bible to you, give you the data, and help you edit what you have written — but the message must come from God through you. We will not put words in your mouth.
Teaching is a different thing, and the tools say so plainly. A study follows the fixed historical and OICA structure and teaches what the Bible and the record hold, so Helps may gather and draft there while you direct it and edit every part. A sermon is an oracle. The rule is not a rule against assisted study, and the study tools are not permission to have a sermon written.
One currency for everything metered, so there is one number to watch and a price shown before anything runs.
| What | Cost |
|---|---|
| One Helps answer, or one source lookup | 1 credit |
| One Deeper Helps answer — the heavier work | 5 credits |
| 100 credits | $5 |
| 500 credits | $20 |
| Extra storage, 10 GB | $2 a month |
| An extra teacher on a Church plan, beyond five | $4 a month |
| Licensed Bible versions | Quoted when added, always beside the KJV, never instead |
Your plan’s allowance resets each month; credits you buy sit on top of it and are spent last. They do not expire while the account is current.
Why credits and not unlimited. Helps is the one thing here that costs real money every time it runs. Metering it is exactly what lets the free account be genuinely free instead of quietly rationed, and keeps one heavy user from being funded out of everyone else’s subscription.
What you build, you may print. The volumes themselves are sold — whole sets, or built to your own order. What the library is not is a thing to be emptied into a PDF.
| What | The rule |
|---|---|
| The author’s books, print or digital | Full price on every plan. No plan includes them, no plan discounts them. |
| Complete volume sets | Sold. In the Beauty of Holiness, The Book of Names and The Book of Places — whole sets, or a single work’s set. Print or digital, at full price. |
| A custom In the Beauty of Holiness | Built to order — the books, the passages and the apparatus you choose, bound as your own volume. Quoted. |
| A study you built | Printed at cost plus a margin — paperback, hardback or spiral. Class sets quoted. |
| Sermons a preacher turned into a book | Priced as a print job. His copyright, his book. |
| Downloads on Free | 30 pages a month — a lesson or a message, not a volume |
| Downloads on a paid plan | 300 pages a month, still never a whole volume or a whole Bible |
The page limit is not a sales tactic. It is the line that keeps the library from being copied out wholesale, which would end the thing that pays for it. The volumes run seven hundred to eleven hundred pages, so neither tier comes near one.
