The following classic books are public domain and may not be copyrighted unless a derivative work is produced. Special thanks to all who have worked hard to provide these works freely.

To download an EBook: In Windows Internet Explorer, right-click on the title and choose {Save Target As.} In Mac OSX Safari, right-click on the title and choose {Download Linked File.} When you save the file, you will need to title the file. I recommend the first initial, last name, and a one word title. Example: "The Sermons of John Brine" can be titled: JBrine Sermons
"Thou mayest hear sermons often, and do well in practising what thou hearest; but thou must not expect to be told thee in a pulpit all that thou oughtest to do, but be studious in searching the scriptures, and reading good books. What thou hearest may be forgotten, but what thou readest may better be retained." -John Bunyan, Dying Sayings

Copyright Statement
Public domain works may not be copyrighted unless a derivative work is produced from the original. The materials on this site do not contain major changes from the original works and therefore they remain Public Domain and may not be copyrighted.
A typical example of a derivative work received for registration in the Copyright Office is one that is primarily a new work but incorporates some previously published material. This previously published material makes the work a derivative work under the copyright law. To be copyrightable, a derivative work must be different enough from the original to be regarded as a "new work" or must contain a substantial amount of new material. Making minor changes or additions of little substance to a preexisting work will not qualify the work as a new version for copyright purposes. The new material must be original and copyrightable in itself. Titles, short phrases, and format, for example, are not copyrightable.
