Thanks for 50 Million Installs!

The Bible App™ has now been installed on more than 50 million different devices—thanks in large part to you. That's right! Every time you tell a friend what you're reading in the Bible App, or when you share a verse or a Reading Plan on Facebook or Twitter, and especially when you help someone download the Bible App onto their device, you're equipping others with the tools they need to hear God's voice in their own lives. Thank you! And check out the new website we launched to celebrate: Today in the YouVersion Community. (You can read more at our blog.)

Volunteer: Serving a Global Community

Now that the Bible App is on 50 million devices, people from all over the world are joining the YouVersion community—many of them for the first time. And because we are truly a community, we rely on everyone's participation to be sure they get all the help they need, especially with technical support and translation. Can you be that help as a volunteer? Please check our volunteer site for specific opportunities like these: translation for Afrikaans, Arabic, Czech, Danish, European Portuguese, Finnish, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Swedish, Filipino, Turkish, Ukrainian, and Vietnamese.

Featured Plan: Daily Devotions with Greg Laurie

Have you ever heard other people describe a "personal relationship with Christ"—and wondered what they were talking about? You can explore that closeness to God firsthand with Daily Devotions with Greg Laurie, a 30-day plan offering encouraging, relevant insights into the Bible—direct from Pastor Laurie's ministry.

Did You Know?

As we shared recently on our blog, we updated YouVersion.com and the Bible App for iPad to take full advantage of everything these platforms offer. It's easy to view two different Bible versions at the same time. Called parallel study, this handy feature allows you to effortlessly compare two versions to each other side by side. At YouVersion.com, just click the Parallel button, in the upper right corner of the Bible reader. On your iPad, simply rotate to landscape mode, then swipe Parallel to ON (top right).

In Your Own Words

  • "@YouVersion has changed my life. So good to have a way that's working for me to really get into the word. Very grateful."
    —David
  • "Day 100 of my Bible reading plan on @YouVersion! Small triumph, but a triumph none the less. #bible #amreading"
    —Erika
  • "Excited to announce, since choosing to go through t/Bible straight through (for the 1st time) I'm onto NUMBERS! Thanks,#YouVersion!"
    —David

What's New

If you haven't updated your Bible App for iOS (iPhone, iPad, iPod touch) recently, what are you waiting for? Besides the parallel study feature we told you about above and on our blog, you'll enjoy all kinds of other great new features and significant performance enhancements—way too many to cover here! Go check About from your main screen. If you're running anything older than Version 4.0.1, we'd really encourage you to update now!

And we're extremely pleased to offer now, for the first time ever, the Bible App for Nook! Look for it in the Nook Store. The Bible App for Nook has all the same great features you've come to expect from the Bible App, now on your Nook Tablet or Nook Color device! Try it out and visit us on Facebook and Twitter to let us know what you think.
