Your Bible serves as the anchor of your life and an important symbol of your faith. Today’s Bible is more than the large, coffee table book your grandparents displayed. Available in most any language, translation and size, the Bible is even downloadable to your computer or sized to fit in your palm. Whether you listen to Scripture online or carry a favorite volume with you, give your personal Bible a facelift when you dress it up.

I love the concept behind PearlVault.
With so many different Bible apps and study programs out there, it’s difficult to use any kind of e-note functions.

According to Media Encoder, after two and a half centuries of being the repository of the sum of Western knowledge, the Encyclopedia Britannica will cease to be printed. From now on, to get the information that you so desperately need to complete your English essay, you’ll have to use this crazy thing called “the Internet.”

YouVersion, the force behind the ubiquitous iOS/Android Bible app, unleashed a new website this past week.

Many families maintain a tradition of handing down a family Bible through the generations and mine is no different. Although the Bible is still with my mom, I look forward to receiving the treasured book one day and getting to add yet another generation of names, dates and history to the genealogy at the back. I especially anticipate passing the Bible along to my own kids when the time comes and giving them a piece of history they can pass on to future generations.
One of the most interesting projects a family Bible can help with is researching your family’s genealogy. Although many family Bibles only have names, you can do research with just those. Any accompanying information, such as locations of residence, employers, and dates of birth, marriage or death only help you find additional details more quickly.
We’ve all come across those crazy names and words in the Bible that no one but Bible scholars seem to know how to pronounce.
Here’s an iOS app that changes that!
This is a must-have app for pastors, teachers and students alike!

Tweeting during a sermon is nothing new, nor is using your smartphone during the sermon (excellent post here). It’s been the center of debate plenty of times and continues to be a hot button in many Churches.
I believe the denomination, demographic and geography of your Church has a lot to do with the overall view of using your smartphone during Church and involving yourself in sermon tweets.
Tyndale’s recent survey on Church and Technology gives us some perspective on smartphones and tweeting during sermons.
Here some of their findings relating to mobile technology in the Church:

It’s called, “The World’s First Infinite Bible,” and it has a very unique interface.
I love their tagline,
The Gutenberg press was just the beginning.
Indeed, it is!
As far as e-Bibles go, this is the most organic experience I’ve encountered in electronic form.
