I mentioned this yesterday on Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, and some other places, but if you don’t get those feeds, here’s an early Christmas present for you:
YouVersion, an online multi-edition Bible, is now available for Blackberries. The iPhone version has been out for a while, but now Crack Blackberry users can have it, too.
YouVersion is a very simple, but complete Bible in multiple translations — The Message, NIV, TNIV, ASB, KJV, NKJV, and a bunch of others. No NRSV for some reason, but they are adding other translations, like the NLT which was up yesterday.
But wait! There’s more! A read-thru-the-Bible plan brings up 3 passages a day for you to read, helping you read thru the Bible in one year. I read yesterday and today, and it’s a real help. You can change Bible translations, search keywords or phrases, search for specific passages, go to books and chapters, and more. A really cool feature allows users to add comments, videos, and mp3 files at any chapter. Other users can access those comment files while reading.
YouVersion is brought to you by the good folks at LifeChurch.tv, who are not paying me anything — although I can be bought 🙂 — to say this. I just think it’s a very cool Bible and it’s FREE! Did I say that already? And, when you join the YouVersion community, you can invite all of your other friends to join, too. So, Merry Christmas from the kind, innovative folks at LifeChurch. tv. Thanks!
