Any favorite Bible apps or versions?

I was very fortunate that my family clubbed together to get Logos Bible Software when I was in seminary eight years ago. I use it exclusively now for all my personal bible reading/studying, sermon prep, and theology reading. Both the desktop and mobile apps are excellent.

They now have a free package called basics which gives you some resources and then allows you to just buy individual titles that you want as you go. Starter package is also reasonably priced, might be an option if you want go digital. Happy to answer any questions about it if you need.

In terms of bible versions, I tend to read the NIV2011 or the CSB for personal use. The NIV89 gets a lot of use too as that is our church pew bible. I’m also a great fan of the audio bible function on the bible gateway app (‎Bible on the App Store). That gets a lot of use.

On a more family oriented note, We also have two large ESV bibles which are momento bibles for each our boys. We write notes, quotes, and things that have struck us from our own bible reading in the margins for them to read when they get older. Often things from my sermon prep that don’t make it into the final cut end up in there. I simply duplicate the same things in both bibles. Occasionally, we’ll write ‘we love you’ or ‘we’re proud of you’ on a random page for them to find when they read it through.
