Five Useful Apps for your Smartphone or Tablet

 
There are now more mobile phones in Australia than people, and many are web-enabled or smart phones.  So why not put your new smart phone or tablet to good use?  Check out these apps to help with your daily Bible reading or Explore group time.  Most are also available on a PC:

 
YouVersion.  View and download dozens of different Bible translations,  use a Bible reading plan, make notes about the text, and share your thoughts via social media.  www.youversion.com


WordLive.  This is Scripture Union’s online daily Bible reading guide.  Three variants are available and provide a variety of stimuli,  including pictures, music and videos www.wordlive.org

 

Olive Tree.  Purchase and view a variety of Christian resources, including Bibles, commentaries, maps, study guides, etc.  www.olivetree.com

 
 

Logos.  Purchase and access a wide range of theological texts and commentaries.  www.logos.com

 
 

Read a book.  No, this is not the name of an app.  But there are heaps of great Christian e-books available via the online book providers to help you grow in your faith.

 

Check out the Church website, www.emmanueluca.org.au .  There is some information on daily Bible reading and journaling.  We are continually uploading new resources, and links to other web based resources.  You might also like to check out the Bible Society’s Live Light in 25 Words campaign site, which has a significant amount of material, including some great talks by prominent Christians.  25words.biblesociety.org.au
