YouVersion: A New Way to Share the Gospel

I recently purchased a Blackberry Curve which I absolutely love.  One of the reasons for purchasing my Mobile device was to be able to access the web and read the bible online.  Each morning on my way to work, I do my Daily bible reading.  I was pleasantly surprised to come across a website called YouVersion.

YouVersion is a new way to read the Bible.  It incorporates your Daily Bible reading with the power of the Internet and creates an avenue to “read, study, share, contribute, create, broadcast and communicate the Word of God with others – globally”. YouVersion is a type of Online Community that allows users to collaborate with others and share their thoughts on various Bible Passages.

I love the fact YouVersion includes 31 Bible translations in 16 Languages. The best thing about this website is that the Bibles versions can be accessed via any Mobile device with Internet access.  Whether your using a Blackberry or I-Phone, YouVersion is compatible.

The idea behind YouVersion is to empower believers to become knowledgeable in the word of God by making the Bible accessible at all times.  As the founders of YouVersion put it ‘we are engaging people into relationships with God as they discover the relevance the Bible has for their lives.’

Here’s a YouTube video entitled: An Introduction to YouVersion created by LifeChurch.tv
