BPBible: If Bibleman was real, he would use it.

BPBible is a very user friendly program to help read and study the Bible. As you may guess, it's pretty obvious about what it does....it displays the Bible. But heres some nice things about it:

-Multiple versions: Why settlee for one version when you can have them all? Well, not all. Versions like NIV, NKJV, and several others have legal issues that do not permit them to be online. Nonetheless, you can have others like ESV, KJV, and even non-English versions, and easily swap between them. It's very easily to install "Books".

-Commentary, Dictionary, and Other Books: Because it's actually a Bible "study" tool, you can also have a commentary like Matthew Henry's Commentary or Spurgeon's Morning and Evening, a dictionary like a Hebrew to English dictionary, and even Other Books like Pilgrim's Progress or Augustine's Confessions. There are panes for each different type, which can be hidden or shown.

-"Copy verses": You can customize a way to copy verses, like putting the reference before or after, adding verse numbers between every verse, etc.

-Search: Very very easy to search the entire Bible for specific words, in just a few seconds.

That's about it. It's a very nice looking program, and works fairly well. Also, Portable apps decided to make it Portable, so head on over there if you want to give it a spin without installing it, or if you just want to keep God on your flash disk all the time.

Christ On Disk: God can be in your heart....and now on disk.

Back in simpler times, when dinosaurs roamed the earth, when Bob Barker was young, and when floppy disks were in use, there was a little application called "Christ On Disk." No, seriously, it is a little application. (Nice segway.)

-Tiny: As it boasts on the website, COD is only 1.29mb, so it could literally fit on a floppy disk, if need be. This is amazing since...

-Contains the whole Bible: Yes, not just a chapter or a section, but the entire Bible. I believe I've downloaded texts of the Bible bigger than the COD program, so that is impressive.

-Standalone: Perhaps most impressive, all that is needed is one EXE file, nothing else.

-Portable: Of course, it's completely portable, and designed to be so. Download the EXE and run.

But there are a few drawbacks...well, I wouldn't say drawbacks, I would say limitations:

-Simplistic: No search function or any other nice little perks. It's just the Bible, which isn't bad, but just keep that in mind.

-KJV: It's only got one version (understandibly), so make sure you like good ol' KJV. Other apps like the Sword Project or BPBible may be able to download different versions, but COD is just one version.


That's really about it. It has a simple "Go to" interface, and everything is in basic text. It's a good little app if you're low on disc space, or if you want something very lightweight, or if you want to share the good news with someone, and you happen to have your flash drive.
