On A Personal Note
I have been using Bible software in my daily Bible study now since about 1985. I think I probably own every major Bible software program available today and I love them all. So, why did I have to write this Bible program? Simply, because I wanted to study the Bible in a particular way that the other programs didn't allow me to do. Most of all, I wanted to take notes while reading the Bible and find those notes again when I am looking for them. (No more scattered notes on pieces of paper or in the margin where you never find them when you are looking for them!) BibleStudy let’s you take plenty of notes and search your notes.
Secondly, I wanted to create my own topical index, something like a ‘Nave’s Topical Bible’ of my own. BibleStudy allows you to do that. You can add as many topics as you want and assign them to Bible verses. Literally, with the click of a button can you pull that all together and look at it on your screen, print it, or export it to your favorite word processor.
I am still using Bible Works, Logos, PC Study Bible, and the Online Bible. They are all great, each one having a particular strength of its own, and I recommend them all. In fact, I am indebted to the wonderful people at the Online Bible Foundation and at Bible Works for their kind permission to use their text sources to create the Bible modules that you will find in BibleStudy. Those programs offer you features that you will miss in BibleStudy. But that's ok. I am not asking you to quit using other Bible software. I didn't write BibleStudy to offer you one more Bible software program among many that would do the same thing they do so well. No, I wrote BibleStudy to do things for me that the others wouldn’t. I hope you will find BibleStudy very helpful and productive.
I am not a pastor, I am just a layman. But I want my Bible study time to count for something. I want to grow in the knowledge of God's Word and little by little add something everyday. Today, about 20 months after I started creating and using BibleStudy, I can look in detail at all that I have accomplished. Today, my personal copy of BibleStudy shows me that I
· Added 1,331 Topics
· Read through 56 books of the Bible
· Added 1,103 notes to Bible references (verses)
· Set 221 Cross References
· Added numerous links to interesting articles that I store on my computer or that I found on the Internet
I have all of that right at my fingertip where I need it and I can print it or export it at any time.
Just recently I added the Prayer Assistant Feature, which will help me become more serious and accountable in my personal prayer life.
If this sounds like something, that you would like to do, too, I heartily invite you to try out BibleStudy free of charge with all its features. The trial version is not limited in features or time but only in the number of records (topics) that you can create. If you like it and decide you want to use it without limitations, I offer you the unlimited version of BibleStudy for only $9.95
God bless,
Hanno
