Jonathan Edwards “Foldable”
How to make your foldable “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God”
1. You need three sheets of plain computer paper.
2. Lay the three sheets on top of one another.
3. Fan them out so you see about an inch of each.
4. Fold the paper in half, so you have a “front page” and then five tabs below.
5. At the bottom of each flap, label the page number on the far right side.
6. On the far left side, label the focus of the flap (see the instructions below)
You will be making a “foldable” for the key elements of “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God.”
