Work offline

Once you’ve opened this site with an internet connection, it keeps working without one — readings, search, and your worksheets (which are saved on your device anyway). PDFs are saved the first time you open each one. To have everything — every script and bible — ready before you go offline, click below (about 25 MB).

Prefer a copy on a USB stick or a lab computer with no internet at all? Download the whole site as a zip — unzip it and open index.html. Everything works except search and the YouTube video.
