(Christian Today UK) Wherever you are, whatever you do, the Bible is now just a click away – downloadable to your mobile phone. If your phone can access the internet, you can now download the complete Bible, both the Old and New Testament. It is available in different versions including the Good News Bible, Contemporary English Version, and the King James Version. It also comes in different languages; Afrikaans, English, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish.
VirtualBible™ is the new service launched recently by the Bible Society, which aims to bring “divine inspiration direct to mobile phones”. The download service will cost around $24 in the UK. The product follows hard on the heels of products like Megavoice, which has been called the ‘God Pod,’ a solar powered, hand-held computer that plays a digitally recorded reading of the Bible.
