I know I talk this up whenever I get the chance, but I find this piece of FREE software absolutely amazing. You can go to the website
www.e-sword.net/
and download a complete fully working online bible with customizable features, by customizable, I mean that you can select....
The program presents the bible and lays out the tools in a "windows" fashion and it fairly easy to learn to use. One amazing feature of the software is that all of the tools are "synchronized", by this I mean that when you turn to a particular scripture, the study notes and commentaries turn to there automatically. Very useful and time saving.
Installation is very simple, you download the main program from the site and once it is installed, you go down the list and pick and choose the other materials you want to install.
It does require a reasonably fast computer, but most computers today are quite sufficient.
If you are interested in the software, but are not comfortable installing it yourself, contact me and I will help you in the process.
The author of this software Rick Meyers, is convinced that it is necessary to distribute this software for free, he does allow donations. If you use the software and feel that it enhances your study, perhaps consider donating a bit to Rick, I'm sure he'd appreciate it.
Perhaps sometime, I'll comment on neat features of the software in the Bible Study Category of this site, in the meantime, if you get the urge, download the software and see if you like it, then comment on your experience with it.
