Dyslexic Friendly
Sheltering Tree Media Dyslexic-Friendly Style Guide
by Rolland Kenneson
The following are steps taken by ShelteringTree.Earth to make our books more friendly for those who live with Dyslexia. While the following principles will not make every book readable for every reader, it is our best effort to create products that encourage reading and support all readers.
- We use a font named OpenDyslexic. This is a free font that is designed to help Dyslexic readers distinguish each letter from the others. For more information about OpenDyslexic and how it differs from other common fonts, you can go to their website.
- We used 12-point font in our books for adults.
- The space between each word is increased.
- Line spacing is greater than common fonts.
- The text is Left-aligned but is not justified. The right side of the text remains rough.
- Any footnotes are moved to endnotes to ensure minimal disruption of reading flow.
- Books are printed on thicker paper to minimize bleeding through from the previous page.
- Books are printed on a cream or ivory paper to minimize the sharp contrast of black on white pages.

This is the Dyslexic Friendly version of the original book Flawed to Fruitful: Hope for Men by Rolland Kenneson.
As men, we are flawed. Our sin nature has marred us and keeps us at odds with our Heavenly Father. But when Jesus is Lord of our life, we do not have to live this way! This study guide, paired with Flawed to Fruitful: Hope for Men and a Bible, provides probing questions for discussion of five common issues men face today by examining five flawed men from Scripture. God was faithful to use these men despite their imperfections. From their lives we learn that we, too, may be imperfect, but in the power of Christ, we conquer our flaws and become fruitful servants of the King!

This message is for all those who are too terrified or too bone-weary to leave their despair behind. You can; you must. And God will help you begin again. Like Noah, our story does not end with us being shut inside the ark. At some point, we must be ready to leave the ark. This message helps you determine your actions while you are Waiting for Dry Land.
This message includes a pastoral prayer, the message, a benediction, and scriptural and hymn references. There are discussion questions which can be used for small group study or personal reflection.

When everything gets washed away, God tells us to build, gather, surrender and accept the truth.
Based on the story of The Great Flood, the reader follows how God prepared Noah for the flood, how Noah followed God's directions, and how, in the darkest time of Noah's life, God was there. In the belief that everyone eventually faces a time when everything gets washed away, this book helps the reader rely on God during such times.
