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.

YouVersion, the force behind the ubiquitous iOS/Android Bible app, unleashed a new website this past week.
It’s clean, sleek, and very easy to use. I use the Bible app all the time, but at work, it’s far easier to go through my Bible reading plan on their website. Needless to say, I’m very excited for this new web interface that they’ve developed. It looks great and works well—what more could you ask for?
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.
