YouVersion – a great online and mobile Bible tool

I came across YouVersion a year or so ago when looking for a Bible program for my iPhone. I looked at others, but settled on YouVersion because of its attractive interface and numerous features, not the least of which is access to pretty much any version you can think of, along with the ability to download many of them for offline use when there isn’t any wireless signal available.

As it turns out, they have a really cool web-based version, as well. In addition to being significantly more pleasing in appearance than other online Bible resources, the interface is really slick and interactive, and allows you to view two versions side-by-side (common for desktop Bible apps, but pretty special for an online resource).

Side-by-side translations.

You can also sign up for an account, which allows you to track your reading progress, follow one or more of the numerous provided reading plans, journal about what you’re reading, and share your thoughts about passages with other users of YouVersion. These features all sync between the online and mobile versions, so you can keep track of everything no matter where you are. Oh, did I mention it’s free?

I have yet to dive completely in, but plan on taking much more advantage of this very cool resource.
