iPod worship
This may be old news to some, but the bible has come a long way in the last twenty years. While the content comes more and more into question, there are more and more ways to utilize that content. I've touted the benefits of using electronic bibles like e-Sword for comparative and research purposes. These application-based solutions offer multiple versions, concordances, references, dictionaries, etc. You can also get the text in an electronic book format for various readers including PDAs. Audio books aren't anything new, but now the bible is available in electronic form for your MP3 player and iPod. The following article also brings up the idea of combining audio books and an electronic print version where you can listen and read along at the same time.
The iPod and God
A lot of people worship their iPods. Now they have a new way to use their iPods for worship.
Iowa-based Laridian Inc. last week released the iPocketBible for the iPod, which includes the complete text and dramatized audio of the "Holy Bible, New Living Translation." Unlike some other MP3 bibles, it allows users to read, listen, or do both at once, the company's president said in a statement.
The iPocketBible includes more than 73 hours audio on five CDs. Narration is provided by Mike Kellogg, host of Moody Broadcasting's "Music Thru the Night." It costs $49.99 and can be ordered through the Laridian site.
Another option for those seeking spiritual guidance via handheld device is the BiblePlayer, which offers free downloads of the world's best-selling book to be used with the iPod.
