Before you give it.

Two, and they can switch between them: the World English Bible (WEB) and the Berean Standard Bible (BSB). Both are modern English and in the public domain.

  The Message

The WEB is an update of the 1901 American Standard Version, so it reads close to the original wording. It uses God’s name, Yahweh, where many Bibles print “the LORD.” The BSB aims for a balance of accuracy and easy reading, leaning toward word for word. The ESV, NIV and other copyrighted translations aren’t in Palaio.

Yes, for the full amount, any time until the code is redeemed. Email hello@palaio.co and we’ll refund you and cancel the code. Once the code has been redeemed, the gift is final.

Printed books are a separate cost. The $80 gift doesn’t include one. The $98 gift pays for their first book: one paperback of any length, with shipping included, and it doesn’t expire when the year ends.

Any other book is priced by length, with US shipping included: $18 up to 100 pages, $24 up to 200, $30 up to 300, $36 up to 400, then $6 for each further 100 pages. Sales tax may be added at checkout. We can only mail books to US addresses for now.

After you pay, we email you the code and a card to print at home. It takes two sheets of US Letter paper, which fold into a small greeting card with a short guide to tuck inside. Nothing comes in the mail, and we don’t contact them, so it stays a surprise until you hand it over.

No. Their year starts the day they redeem it, not the day you buy it, so you can buy it now and give it whenever you’re ready. Keep the code safe: it works once, and anyone who has it can use it.

No. You pay once. It isn’t a subscription, and it doesn’t renew or charge anyone when the year ends.

Everything they’ve written stays theirs to read and download. To keep adding to it, they can subscribe, or you can give them another year.

No. What they write is private to them, and buying the gift gives you no access to it. They decide if and when to share it with anyone, including you.

An email address and a phone, tablet or computer. They scan the QR code on the card or go to palaio.co/redeem, enter their email, and we send them a code to sign in. There’s no password to remember.
