The new adjustments in organizational operations are described in the 192-page book Organization for Kingdom-preaching and Disciple-making, released on the first day of the assemblies. Many appreciative comments were heard regarding these organizational adjustments, which bring the congregations into closer harmony with the divine rule.

Delegates also were happy to receive, in English, the new 416-page book Paradise Restored to Mankind​—By Theocracy! It contains a verse-by-verse discussion of the Bible books of Haggai and Zechariah as they relate to our day. Also released was a new Bible translation​—The Bible in Living English—​by Steven T. Byington. Byington, who died in 1957, was not one of Jehovah’s witnesses. Yet he had a keen desire faithfully to render the Bible in easy-to-read English.
