Thoughts about life, church planting, and other things.
One thing I really need is some good Bible software for my mac. I know that there are some awesome Bible web sites (like youversion.com) but I need something more than that because of the way I work on my sermons. Any mac folks have any advice for me?

The only Bible software I am aware of for a Mac is this: http://www.accordancebible.com/ - I looked a few years back and this seemed to be the only reasonable option. I have not looked again since. So there may be other solutions at there as well.

Tony…
Since when have you been a Mac guy?!?!?!?! Man! I KNOW I’ve got to get one now! Thanks for nudging me over the edge!
(Having said that, it’s pretty obvious that I have no clue about Bible software for the Mac!)

Tony,
I love Accordance. Powerful program and tons of tools.

Tony - I was wondering the same thing last night - I’ve used the free “online bible” for years on Windows - I have the Mac OS-X beta and its not too bad.

I am going to order the other translations so I have something besides the KJV. For $89.00 for the text and the software for free I dont think it can be beat. All I use it for is looking up scripture - I dont use the other features so cheap and operational is all I need.

Logos just released a alpha version for Macs. I’ve been waiting for over a year. In order to use you have to buy PC version and install onto a PC. After that you can download alpha version from the Logos website and install all your purchased libraries. I’ve had for a month and love it.

We bought a few licenses of Accordance several years ago and don’t use them (well, I know we have at least one that isn’t being used). I have the ESV version (and technically they owe us one more, but we never got it). I’m not a huge fan, but you’re more than welcome to give it a shot - just let me know!
