My favorite Bible software
One of the great blessings of technology for Christian workers is the ability we have today to travel with a whole library of resources literally in a briefcase. If you’ve stopped by my office you’ll know that I have hundreds of books, as many pastors do, but a lot of the time now I do most of my preparation using the resources I always have at hand on my laptop. This means I can pick up where I left off studying wherever I am – at the office, at home, away at another church, at a conference in another state, in a hotel room … wherever!
People sometimes want to know what software I personally choose for all this.
Well, over recent years I’ve invested in a few different packages, but to be honest I rarely ever use them (with the exception of a few CD’s I carry with specific works on them … eg. all of C.H.Spurgeon’s sermons on 1 CD.) What I use more than anything is a wonderful software package that I downloaded for FREE from the internet (and that is still the best price of all, right?!)
It’s called e-Sword, and you can download it with literally scores of commentaries and helps, language studies and maps; some of the finest works ever produced … and it’s all absolutely free!
Sometimes free software is what you “make do with” until you can afford the real deal, right? NOT SO with e-Sword. I have found it to be simply the best, most user-friendly interface available. I love it! I use it in preference over packages I’ve paid for.
I recommend you take a look at it … CLICK HERE.
If you do like it, just consider making a donation for it. If you can send the author of e-Sword a few bucks, he will actually mail you a CD containing the whole program as a fast backup (even though everything is downloadable immediately straight off the internet). He has provided these resources at no cost to missionaries all over the world, and a donation helps him to keep doing that.
Just wanted to share it with you! Let me know if you try it and like it.
