General Guidelines

One Copy

You may print one copy of any article appearing on our site for your own personal use, which includes giving the article to a friend or family member. You may not, however, make more than one copy for distribution without seeking our permission first. Many of our articles are written by freelance authors and Focus may not have the rights necessary to grant reprint permission for more than one copy. In those cases, we will refer you to the author and provide contact information so that you may request permission directly.

Focus on the Family Daily Broadcast CDs

You may not make multiple copies of our Daily Broadcast CDs or podcasts to distribute at your church, school, or to friends and family. If you wish to obtain additional copies to pass out, you may contact us at 800-A-FAMILY (800-232-6459).
