Well, I’ve just returned to blogging after two weeks of vacationing and catching up on some much needed rest. While away, I had a chance to reflect on life, marriage, my relationship with God, ministry, and family. Over the course of the next few weeks, I will blog about my reflections and vacation experience. I’m refreshed and ready to get back to work.
BEFORE WE BEGIN…
Once again (just can’t seem to make up my mind) I switched back to the iPhone and put my BlackBerry Bold away.
Check out this video & you’ll understand why:
Mantis Bible Study 4.0 is the most advanced Bible Study Tool available for any mobile platform. Designed exclusively for the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch, Mantis Bible Study was created to be powerful enough for full-time Bible students and pastors, yet easy enough for the casual reader to use. Here are a few features:
- Fantastic support for Bibles with integrated Strong’s Numbers – tap a number to open a definition, tap it again to close it
- Additional support for Strong’s Numbers: drill-down to root word(s), tap to find where a number is used throughout Scripture, then tap and preview verses
- Easily create bookmarks, notes, and highlights for any verse in the Bible, or even for commentaries, dictionaries, devotionals, or other books
- References to Scripture inside personal notes are automatically turned into one-tap cross-references
- Create, edit, and move bookmarks and bookmark folders
- Unique “Analyze Verse” feature shows a single verse in multiple translations on one page, along with any installed commentaries for the selected verse
- Fast and flexible, yet simple search system
- Save search results as a named folder full of bookmarks
- Personal notes and translation notes appear inline with the text and can be toggled on and off, making it easier to view the notes within the context of its related scripture
- Highlighting Bar allows highlighting of individual words and phrases in 4 colors
- Inline verse-display toggle links for all cross-reference links (in commentaries, dictionaries and other books containing scripture references)
That’s right, it took ONE application to make me switch and after one week of continuous use, I’M HOOKED (for now…)!
By the way, what do you currently use, I’d love to hear your comments!
Blackberry Curve…I was 2 seconds from an Iphone – but God wouldn't allow me to find a reasonably priced unlocked iphone on craigslist…so I settled for the Amazon Kindle instead – lol.
Darius we'll pray that God releases a reasonably priced unlocked iPhone – it's MILES ahead of anything out there right now.
Man, you take the pace car metaphor seriously. When I saw what this app does, I was almost ready to go to the ATT store tonight to get the iphone. Welcome back. Looking forward to reading and being impacted by your reflections. Grace and peace.
Hey bro thanks for the compliment! The iPhone's the real deal & it's MILES ahead of anything out there now. I envision HS & College students carrying a laptop/netbook, Kindle, & and iPhone – welcome to the digital world!
