YouVersion is a free online bible for smart phones. While I have already purchased the bible for my blackberry through Olive Tree, I also really like this smart phone bible. And it's free! There are several bible translations from which to choose including the NIV and The Message. Sadly, it does not offer the New Revised Standard Version (NRSV) which we use at First UMC.
Once you choose a bible translation, the navigation is extremely easy. In a matter of seconds, you can locate a book of the bible or a specific biblical verse. There's also a word search feature. It gives you font choices including size to fit your needs. And, some of the translations include an audio reading.
During the sermon at our clergy session last week, the District Superintendent who spoke, was reading verses throughout his message with his smart phone bible. One of our staff members likes to use her smart phone bible during the reading of scripture on Sunday mornings. She's always concerned that someone might think she's really playing solitaire or angry birds when she's really reading along with her electronic bible.
Hey, whatever works for you!
