| AN INTRODUCTION TO
THE Blue Edition of the BAKER Textual and Topical FILING SYSTEM
Thank you for searching for the Baker Textual and Topical Filing
System.
We call your attention to the fact that the newest edition, called
the Blue Edition, is a three-ring notebook style binder that functions
just exactly as the older cloth-bound editions. However the cost
of producing a cloth-bound edition would bring the price more
than $100.00 at today’s prices. Therefore we have published
this more economical but just as durable edition.
Even in this computer age the Baker Textual and Topical Filing
System is still the premier choice for thousands of Christian
workers. Without booting it is instantly available for making
entries and for locating references in your personal library and
filing cabinet. It is as fast, simple and convenient to use as
your little hard copy (paper) telephone number and address book.
It can record your favorite websites with a description of them.
It will never "crash," wiping out hours of work.
It is all set up for
you, ready to receive your first entry the moment you place it
on your desk.
The secret of this filing system is that the tedious work of
indexing and filing has already been done for you! The list of
2,200 topics is cross-referenced for synonyms, antonyms and related
topics. This permanent list has space for four additional topics
between each entry so that you can always add topics of your own
choosing in correct alphabetical order. The textual index provides
access to material on every text in the Bible.
The back of the book has 500 numbered Reference Spaces. Each
Reference Space has 20 Reference Lines. These Reference Spaces
are assigned to the topic or text material you may wish to record
for future reference. The system is designed so that you can never
run out of Reference Lines or Reference Spaces throughout a lifetime
of use.
The Baker Filing Textual
and Topical Filing System allows pastors, teachers and every serious
student of the Bible to have their own lifetime of biblical and
theological treasures at their finger tips. With amazingly little
time and effort this handy tool keeps tab on every important thought
and reference that crosses your mind.
The carefully prepared textual and topical indexes organize all
the resource material in your study or library-- whether it is
found in books, magazines, or your filing cabinet. Whenever you
work with any one of these three sources, the other two are automatically
and correspondingly indexed and organized.
The Baker System will become the key
that unlocks the storehouse of knowledge in your personal library.
The time this system saves and the vast amount of information
it makes available to you, at precisely the time you need it,
is invaluable for preparing sermons, lectures, speeches, presentations
of all kinds and even for writing books.
In addition to the features found in earlier editions, this new
edition (called the Blue Edition) is: Less Bulky (Stand it upright
on a bookshelf); More Portable (Take it to the library and meetings);
Flat when Open (Important for making entries).

REVIEWS
Baker's Textual and Topical Filing system by Neal Punt
(Baker, 1961)
"Here is a valuable aid that enables you to immediately
begin recording materials that you have wanted to get organized
for a long time. With a minimum of complications this volume will
reduce your searching, marking and stacking time to an amazing
degree. One book does the work of a bulky, complex filing system,
saving money, space, time and frustration.
Truly a godsend for the harassed preacher."
The Herald, May 31, 1961

Baker's Textual and Topical Filing system by Neal Punt
Baker Book House, 1961
"A large but easily handled volume which provides both a
method and the space for the minister to record material in his
library and filing cabinet according to either subject or text.
The system is comparatively simple. Young ministers and other
Christian workers would do well to start from the beginning with
this system."
Moody Monthly, July, 1961

Biblio File
Baker's Textual and Topical Filing system, by Neal Punt (Northland
Books,
1990 $49.50.) Used and recommended by members of the Ministry
staff.
Pastors, Bible students and teachers have been using the Baker
Filing System since 1960. In 1990 it is still valued for its simplicity,
flexibility, portability and convenience in quickly locating information.
The textual and topical indexes organize all the resource material
in your library and filing cabinets. The system is set up and
ready to receive your first entry. Those on the Ministry staff
who use it find the system invaluable in preparing various kinds
of presentations and even for writing articles and papers. The
filing system can also be useful in keeping track of personal
items such as insurance policies, correspondence, and valuable
papers.
We recommend Baker's Textual and Topical Filing System for a
well-organized ministry. It also makes an especially nice gift.
Ministry Magazine, March, 1990
ENDORSEMENTS:
Dr. Warren W. Wiersbe - Former Senior Pastor of Moody
Memorial Church of Chicago, Director of the Good News Broadcasting
Association, prolific author and public speaker. In November,
1962 Dr. Wiersbe said:
"Let me take this opportunity to tell you how much I appreciate
the BAKER TEXTUAL AND TOPICAL FILING SYSTEM. I am busier than
most pastors, with a church of nearly 1000 and responsibility
of preaching or teaching six times a week, plus outside meetings;
and yet I've discovered that keeping the Baker System up-to-date
is no burden. In fact, it saves me hours of time! I'm sold on
it!
The Baker System has turned my library into a new tool! Frankly
I had never cataloged the material in my library until the Baker
System came along. Since then my studying has been helped tremendously.
To be able to lay my hands on material I'd forgotten was there
is wonderful!
I did the hardest thing possible--I took the filing book home
with me and spent several hours putting it to work. Believe me,
I was amazed! It's so easy to handle without the usual entanglements
of code numbers, etc. This is one of the finest things I have
ever seen!"
In 1990 (29 years later) Warren Wiersbe said:
"I have been using the Baker Filing System since it came
out, and I would not be without it! It is easy to use, practical
and a great time saver. Often in pastors' seminars, I have recommended
Baker's Textual and Topical to the men who have asked me how best
to organize their library
Clarence S. Roddy, Pasadena, CA: "This system is
admirable. It is simple, clear, direct, efficient and practical.
A deliverer from filing bondage."
Robert G. Rayburn, St. Louis, MO: "It seems to me
that you have made the whole matter of filing valuable material
as painless and easy as possible."
John W. Gregson, Jacksonville, TX "I think the Baker
Filing System is the best I have ever seen. It is comprehensive
yet easily understood. It fills the need that has existed among
ministers for several hundred years. Students and faculty members
are enthusiastic about the system."
Donald Kopecky, Longmont, CO: "The most practical,
economical, and useful filing system that I have seen for the
Christian worker. I have recommended it to my students and will
continue to do so enthusiastically! Thanks for a real boon to
Christian service."
