NueBible: A Design Centric iOS Bible App


by

We’ve covered a lot of Bible apps here at ChurchMag and too often we focus heavily on the functionality built into these tools. Features like Bible reading plans, the ability to add notes, export notes, commentaries, sharing verses and so on. These are all great and we’ve seen some huge steps forward there, but sometimes I wonder if this has lead to a neglect of the design of these tools.

Well NeuBible is a new (pun not intended) Bible app from a small indie development team that takes a radically different approach to many others and focuses on design first.

Do You Share Your Completed YouVersion Reading Plans?


by

I’ve used YouVersion for a long time, but nothing for regular Bible reading plans, studying or one of the many daily devotional plans they have to offer.

Having recently finished up another paperback daily devotional and since I hadn’t landed a new one yet, I thought I would give some YouVersion devotionals a spin.

So far, so good.

I’ve really enjoyed the diversity of devotions that are offered. After having finished my first devotional, my YouVersion app asked if I wanted to share the news with my friends.

My Bible Marking Plan


by

About a month ago, I wrote a post about the fun way I mark my Bible – using Crayola Twistable Crayons! I seriously didn’t think it would get as many comments, shares, or even off-site discussion as it did – so much so that people still comment on how much I like to use crayons (some of us really never do grow up).

In all the discussion I had around the post, there was a single question that kept popping up:

What system do you use for your Bible marking?

It’s one thing to tote the awesomeness of the Crayola Twistable Crayons for making your Bible look pretty, it’s another to actually know what colors to use for what topics.

When I wrote the post, I didn’t really have a color scheme down yet. I had used two colors at that point, and was still figuring out what my plan would be.

A Fun Way to Mark Your Bible


by

I love marking up my Bible when I study. I’m not sure if it’s the graphic designer in me (I like pretty colors) or the former English major coming out (sentence diagrams!!), but I just enjoy dissecting the text and finding the deeper—and much more personal—meaning.

A quick flip through my Bible will prove my case. Highlights, underlines, arrows pointing to notes I wrote in the margins, boxes, color coded markings—it’s like a playground for my studious brain.

But there’s one problem in this wondrous glory-land I call marking my Bible: It’s hard to find the right tools.

The Least Popular Books of the Bible [Infographic]


by

What’s your least favorite book in the Bible?

Yes, I know, that’s probably not the most popular question to ask on a Sunday and by answering the question you may have guaranteed to never make the Sunday School student of the month, but the truth of the matter is, we all have preferences.

In the infographic below, the cool people at the Overview Bible Project presents The Least Popular Books of the Bible (according to BibleGateway.com):
