e-sword.net "The Word of the Lord -- with and electronic edge"

One of the things I’m thankful for this Thanksgiving is Rick Meyers’ contribution to computer Bible Study.

If you want to study the Bible the easy, quick, and complete way then I encourage you to go to

www.e-sword.net

and download the FREE Bible Study software that Rick Meyers has written. Over 2 million people have downloaded that software and it is used in every country in the Western Hemisphere and most of them in the Eastern Hemisphere.

You can see a verse in 10 Bible versions and compare 12 commentaries and a half dozen Bible dictionaries on that verse with just a click of the mouse!

I can’t say enough good things about this amazing Bible Study tool. The following is a copy of the first screen at www-esword.net. It is really worth looking at!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Without payment you have received; without payment you are to give." (Mat 10:8 ISV) Jesus told us that since we've been blessed we should bless others. For years I have been on the receiving end of His glorious riches, and I am happy to provide this blessing to others in the form of free Bible study software!

As a Bible student and teacher I have experienced the necessary work involved in searching the Scriptures for the competent preparation of a Bible study, Sunday school lesson, or a sermon. There are volumes of books available as study tools (and the Christian community is indebted to the various authors' perseverance and scholarship), but there is not enough time, money, or shelf space to properly take advantage of these resources. Computer software has changed the way we can study the Word of GOD. With a simple search or click of the mouse button, we now have access to these same volumes of scholarship within seconds! e-Sword is a fast and effective way to study the Bible. e-Sword is feature rich and user friendly with more capabilities than you would expect in a free software package. The fact that e-Sword is free is just one of the blessings and does not speak of the quality of the software. I make my living writing software and I believe I have put forth my best effort in this endeavor. The real work, however, was put in by the godly men and women who devoted countless years creating the texts that have been made available for our benefit.




In His service, Rick Meyers
