The fact that e-Sword is free is just one of the blessings and does not speak of the quality of the software.

• Daily Audio Bible www.dailyaudiobible.com/ www.dailyaudiobible.com/ Daily interaction with the Scriptures is the heart of all we do. A deep and abiding friendship with Jesus informed by the rich texture of the Bible is the reason the Daily Audio Bible exists. We believe that it is fundamental to every believer's healthy spiritual life that we be people seeking the counsel of the Bible every single day, that we be people who walk with God intimately and conversationally and that we live in community with one another.

• YouVersion - OnLine Bible www.youversion.com/ www.youversion.com/ In generations past, the access people had to the Bible was very limited. Today, this is no longer the case. However, many people who have access to the Bible think its message does not apply to their lives. At the same time, there are others who believe there is a connection between the Bible and their every day experiences. Over the last decade, the Internet has brought about a revolution which empowers people like never before. With the ability to share, contribute, create, broadcast and communicate, it's easy to express who we are and what we believe with the rest of the world.
