You can … well … take a look:
The Story ESV Bible is an excellent resource for sharing the Gospel, and with this current Easter special, your church could consider providing your Easter service guests with a copy!
Launched just last month, “this new outreach Bible features a 12-page, beautifully designed and full-color presentation of the storyline of the Bible. The material covers creation, the fall, the death and resurrection of Jesus, and the hope of the second coming. It also provides a clear invitation to readers to receive Christ as their Savior. Specially prepared, full-page introductions by the creators of The Story show how each Bible book contributes to the Bible’s storyline.”
And it even has a cool mobile app! 
It’s called, AudiOffice, and it may be the most awesome iOS (and soon to be Android version) dock I’ve seen.
Not only is it practical, but it’s practically the most amazing dock I’ve ever seen!
Check. This. Out:
YouVersion, the Bible App offering from Lifechurch.tv continues to evolve, and this month, it added video content to it Android and iOS ports.
The addition of this functionality coincides with the being selected as the official application of Bible Series, which just premiered on the History Channel. As to be expected, YouVersion has content from that production, as well as more from other sources. The videos can be shared, and come in very nice quality.
All in all, it is a nice addition to a very nice scripture application. The YouVersion Bible App continues to add and tweak functionality to increase its utility offline and online as well as around the world.
Take a closer look at the YouVersion video content added:
I was scrolling through my Google Reader the other day when I stumbled across this article:
iPad with Bible app saves the day at firefighters swearing-in ceremony
I immediately started reading. Here’s the basic story: someone forgot to bring a Bible to a ceremonial swearing-in of some newly promoted firefighters. Clearly, this wasn’t the end of the world, but my old-school, “raised on the KJV” mentality kicked in. Long story short, I was angry. For at least a day or two, I slowly fumed about this.
“An app isn’t the Word of God!” I kept saying to myself.
It’s a well known fact: I’m immersed in Google.
Email, Google+, navigation, mobile computing… I depend a lot on Google. I’m the one the privacy purists point and shake their heads sadly at.
As far as smartphone choice has gone, I switched over from BlackBerry to Android somewhat reluctantly. I wasn’t going to switch carriers for the iPhone, and in any case, there were a couple of advantages that Android had over iOS for my usage.
The Android Market was not one of them.
Now, I had made do with BlackBerry’s slim offerings, so getting in on Android’s app selection was like Tim Robbin’s character finding water after escaping through “unimaginable filth” in Shawshank Redemption:
I know that iPads can be a very personal device, but this may be taking it too far.
Have we become so connected that we can’t … uh … stand being away from the Internet for a few minutes?
But then again, the iPad is the modern day magazine …
Take a look at this and tell me what you think:
Here is an interesting app that takes mobile technology further than I would have ever imagined.
It’s called, Confession: A Roman Catholic App and does exactly what the title says.
From the iTunes description:
In Atlantic City, several firefighters were promoted at the City Council chambers. Upon realizing there was no Bible to place their hands-on during the ceremony, someone quickly pulled-up a Bible app on their iPad and the ceremony proceeded.
It’s been in the news for over a year now, but we’ve always suspected it. Labor conditions in China have never been as they should, as human rights violations run rampant in the country.
Why would Apple, Samsung and the others be any different?
This video from CNN capsulizes many of the stories that were bubbling around Apple’s Foxcom news that broke last year:
