Mary Banks Ministries
Why every book is free
Every book in the Mary Banks Faith Library is free to read, download, and keep, in every language we publish. That is not a promotion. It is the reason this library exists: freely we have received, so freely we give. The gospel should never sit behind a paywall.
Partnership is a free-will gift, never a price. Some give every month, some give once, and every book stays free for everyone, whether or not they give. Those who give do it because they want the Word translated and carried to the nations, to people who could never pay for a book.
Your gift reaches every part of Mary Banks Ministries, including the Global Training Center, and your Mary Banks ID carries your partnership to every one of our sites.
What your gift does
- Keeps the library open
Hosting, the Study Center, the Bible tools, and the people who maintain and build them, so every book stays free for the next reader.
- Translates the Word
Your gift lets us translate the books into new languages and send them into other nations. Every book we publish in Spanish, French, and Portuguese, and the languages still to come, is carried by people who give.
- Reaches further
Getting these books in front of people who have never heard of them, in places where a paid book would never travel.

Questions
- Do I need to give to read or download?
- No. Every book is free to read, download, and keep in My Library, in every language, whether or not you ever give. All you need is a free Mary Banks ID.
- Then why give?
- Because you want the Word to go further. Partnership is a free-will gift, monthly or once, that translates the books into new languages, sends them into other nations, and keeps the library free for whoever needs it next. Give as you have purposed in your heart, not out of pressure.
- Is my gift a purchase?
- No. It is a donation to Mary Banks Ministries. Nothing in the Faith Library is sold, and nothing is held back from anyone who does not give.
- Can I stop or change my gift?
- Yes, at any time, from your account. Change the amount in a moment, stop entirely, or give once instead. There is no minimum term.
- What happens to My Library if I stop giving?
- Nothing changes. Every book you have added stays in My Library, and you can read and download it anytime. Your books never depended on your gift.
- Is my gift tax-deductible?
- Mary Banks Ministries is a not-for-profit organization. Your receipt will state how your gift is treated. Please keep it for your records and ask your tax adviser about your own situation.
- Where does the money go?
- Keeping the library and its study tools online, translating books into new languages, and carrying the Word to people and places a paid book would never reach.
- Does my partnership work on the other Mary Banks sites?
- Yes. Your Mary Banks ID carries your partnership to every site, including the Global Training Center. Sign in there and you are already recognized as a partner.
