Redesigned Website Launched!:
The new site employs cutting-edge technology, and some features found nowhere else on the Internet’s 600 million websites, including:
1. Simple, structured navigation
The Library section organizes our hundreds of books, booklets, articles, Q&As, Bible Course lessons, brochures and magazines in a clear and easy-to-access manner. Items can be accessed by format (books, booklets, articles, etc.) or by subject. Additional filters and sorts make it very easy to find what you are looking for—and also other items that may be related!
About Us contains more information on The Restored Church of God.
The News tab automatically indicates when we post news items or the site is updated (for registered users).
My Bookshelf is one of our most exciting new features. This private, personal bookshelf allows you to save items for future reading or ordering, organize items you want to read, and even keep track of how far you have read in individual pieces of literature—a custom feature found on no other website!
The Requests tab is our version of the shopping cart found on many e-commerce websites. The difference is that all of our literature is free of charge and without further obligation. Select items you would like us to ship to your home or place of business, and order with just a few clicks. (We have made the process even faster for registered users!)
On the default “List” view (and in the menu on “Grid” view), all available items can be added to your Request queue or saved into your bookshelf without leaving the library.
2. Search Upgrades
When searching for a question, topic or term, the search box will automatically suggest searches and questions that will best help you find what you are looking for. Search will also indicate popular and recommended searches to help you get started.
3. Responsive Design
Incorporating the design methodology of “responsive design,” rcg.org automatically adjusts to the type of device accessing it. This means that whether you visit our site on your smartphone, tablet or computer, all content and features will be available, and easy to read.

4. My Bookshelf
Your bookshelf allows you to keep a personal catalog of items you would like to save, read, or either order now or in the future. Your “bookshelf” shows how far you have read in a particular piece literature, with an easy-to-understand percent “Completed” bar. Once you have finished reading an item, click “Done Reading” to transfer it to your "read literature" list.
If you would rather order an item in hardcopy, click “Order Free Copy” to add it to your Request queue.
5. Literature Pages
Literature can now be added to your “Request” queue. Think of this as a shopping cart that you find on other websites. The main difference is that all of our literature is free of charge and without further obligation.
By selecting “Order Free Book,” you can queue up many items that can be ordered at your convenience.
Registered users can save literature to “My Bookshelf.” Your bookshelf is a personal collection of literature on the website that you may want to read, study or order later.
Registered users also can click the bookmark icon while reading to save their current location to the bookshelf. Your saved location transfers to any device you use to access the website, whether a desktop computer, laptop, tablet or smartphone!
