Flipbooks for church guides

Every guide your church makes, on one beautiful shelf.

Upload a PDF. The Shelf turns it into a page-turning book where every Bible verse opens on the page and the week's sermon plays beside it. One price, every feature.

$9.99 a month or $99 a year. The first 25 churches pay half, for life.

See it work

A guide that does more than sit there.

A printed guide says "read Matthew 5:14." Most people don't. On The Shelf, they tap it and the verse is there, with Sunday's message right below.

  1. 1Upload your PDFThe same file you send to the printer. A 60-page guide takes a few minutes.
  2. 2The Shelf builds the bookPages, contents, search, and every Bible verse linked, without you touching a thing.
  3. 3Share one linkPut it in the bulletin, the church app, an email, or a QR code on the back of the printed guide.
