This is totaly awsome cant wait to interact with Glo: The Bible for the digital world. Maybe more people would stand up and take notice of what God's word has to say and decide to follow Christ thru this. One can always pray! In His Love and Care, Mary

"What do I need to run Glo?
* Microsoft Windows® XP, Vista®, or Windows 7 OS with lastest service pack installed. (required)"
Not for Macs yet = 🙁
Jim says
interesting…they've followed me on twitter…wasn't sure what it was
Brad_Parler says
Wow indeed! My first question was – how much, retails for $80, but looks like the street price will be sub $65 the have to admit that the mobile and web based looks cool too! But Wow!!!
adam lehman says
not for mac.
foolish.
Dustin says
I got an advanced copy of the Glo from a leadership summit run by Willow Creek, but I can't run it on my Macbook :(. PC users have said it's great, though.
Jarrett Stevens says
At first I thought this was a Stand Alone Reader like Kindle. I kinda got excited…but then I figured out by all the kids on their PC's that it's software.
A Stand Alone Reader with something as dazzling looking as this
+ Storage for Music
+ Online Connectivity to YouVersion
+ $100 price point
+ MAC friendly
= EPIC
hmmm…maybe I should get on that.
Gotta go!
RickwSmith says
Actually it doesn't run on Mac..I played around with a demo of this a while back…
There actually is no mac version (John, you may want to update that) – it's windows only….for now…
joel says
Seriously wow: 18 GBs!! (I hear Doc's voice from Back to the Future)
I wonder if they would consider a web-based version so I don't have to eat up such a chunk of my hard drive, or perhaps it can run off a high capacity optical disk (DVD)?
And…does it include the apocrypha?
It does sound neat and flashy, and useful too. I would love to check it out, but alas I'm a mac user.
Michael Holmes says
Wow!! I'm just gonna leave it as that
@evanlogan says
So what's up with the two dudes using macbooks in the video? Deceiving.
@smallfryeh says
I was so excited to get my sample of this at Catalyst only to find out that it's only for Windows … very very sad 🙁
human3rror says
sad…!
@xiquest_vj says
I was excited to try this out after receiving a copy at Catalyst. The requirements are pretty steep, not to mention the disk space (18+ GB), but was excited nonetheless. The ATI/nVidia graphics card requirement quenched my excitement, however, as my system just has the onboard Intel set that came standard on my Dell. =-( This would be an excellent bible study program for our Church office, if a Mac version were to be released.
human3rror says
pwned by reqs…!
Joshua Horan says
Looking forward to the MAC version as well…it's a perfect fit. I’ve seen it on a PC and it looks awesome!
human3rror says
seriously. i want a mac version.
Suzanna says
Really disappointed that it is not for mac. What a waste! They should have thought of that.
human3rror says
they're going to be releasing soon apparently…!
Rick says
I purchased a copy of the Willow Creek Association of Glo off e-Bay. It does not have the serial number with the cd’s. How do I obtain the serial number?
