John 3:16

John 3:16 was the verse that William J. Pell began with when he started printing on a hand press in his mother's parlor in 1922.

This was the humble beginning of Gospel Folio Press Ministries.

Will Pell began to print the monthly gospel paper, WORDS OF PEACE and assumed he would never print literature with more than one fold (a "folio" is a piece of paper folded once), so he named his company "Gospel Folio Press"

In 1939, Will was compelled to create a daily devotional calendar. The calendar (initially named The Remembrancer) launched in1940, Choice Gleanings "The Choice Gleanings" and was an immediate success. Within a few years Gospel Folio Press found itself producing 40,000 calendars annually. Material for the calendars was gleaned from books, originally, but over time the calendar included more original writing than 'gleanings.' Today almost sixty writers from around the world contribute meditations to the Choice Gleanings calendar.

Gospel Folio Press has, with the establishment of this new Choice Gleanings website, advanced the legacy of this 'calendar with a difference.'

The 2012 calendar will be mailed worldwide so that, as for the last seventy-one years, those who read it daily will gain encouragement and comfort in the situations and circumstances of life.

 

Modular Bible Lessons - Line upon lineAround 1925, Gospel Folio Press began printing Sunday School papers. In 1995-98 with the input of Sunday School Teachers and Superintendents the curriculum was revised and updated to meet the need of teaching others of all ages in a Clear, Concise and Consecutive manner. Today we have the curriculum "Line Upon Line Modular Bible Lessons" This is a great resource material for Sunday School Teachers, Bible Study Groups & everyone who wants to gain knowledge of God's Word

Gospel Folio Press started printing Gospel Literature in 1923 and continues to print and distribute Gospel Tracts. In 1997 we designed a small folded size 1.75" x 2.75" "Just a Minute" tract that is attractive and only takes a minute to read the messageJustaminute

Gospel Folio Press continues to distribute Gospel Tracts just like William Pell along with Christian Books, Bibles, Commentaries, Sunday School Material, Hymn Books, Daily Devotionals and publish Christian Literature.
