Free, Fast, Bible Program Now Available

Greetings in the most holy name of Jesus,

Bible software has gone through a series of evolutions. Since the 1970s, when I first started using Bible software, until now the software has gone from simple DOS search programs to the highly informational study library style. While the study style can be useful, a fast, action-oriented Bible program seemed to be left in the dust. It was out of my own personal frustration that I asked a brother in the church to write ActionBible™. The scripture, 1 Peter 1:13, which bids us to "prepare your minds for action" was the mandate for ActionBible™.

The idea was to keep it simple, fast to use, with a couple of extra bells and whistles to really make it useful, so that users could get right to studying the pure Word of God, quote Scripture in e-mails, message boards or newsgroups, write a note or journal, and - my personal favorite - preparation of sermons. I asked the programmer to write the code not as a programmer, but as a user. The goal was to complete a task in as few steps as possible, low maintenance and to have as much information on one screen without experiencing information overload as possible. In short, like listening to Jesus - who was always to the point - I needed software that would give the Holy Spirit as much room as possible to direct my steps.

The software is shy on graphics and pretty things in order that the Word of God might be the beautiful thing we behold. In fact, the code is written in a basic Windows language so that we can be sure to minimize errors for the user and thus give more time to preparing our minds for action. If you have any suggestions that would help us in this goal please contact us.

May our minds be ready to act when the Holy Spirit calls,
