The 30 Day Challenge

I recently read a scathing criticism of Bible Study Software developers. The specific issue was that the only thing the developers might know, was what resources were distributed by the competition.

In that light, the blogs by a WordSearch employee, about trying out Logos 3 Scholar's Edition, instead of using his usual WordSearch 8.0 are interesting, especially because of his conclusion.

For what I'm trying to do in my personal and academic studies, I have to wholeheartedly admit that Logos is the best application to suit my needs.

The relevant blog posts are:

• Logos Bible Software: The 30 Day Challenge
• The 30 Day Challenge: The First Few Days
• The 30 Day Challenge: More Thoughts
• The 30 Day Challenge: Praises and Complaints
• The 30 Day Challenge: A Few More Wants and Some Cool Features
• The 30 Day Challenge: The Conclusion

The other significant point was about vendor lockin:

Most of the books that I own in WORDsearch are available in Logos; it's just a matter of coming up with the funds to buy the books in Logos so that I can use them in their software.

NT in the OT

I sort of got it wrong. :(

However, since both OT in the NT.har and NT in the OT.har are available, I'm not sure how significant it is that I attributed the wrong one for being the first "previously unknown" resource to be available on the e-Sword wiki.

Both are attachments available for downloading from

OT in the NT

With the creation of a user's e-Sword wiki, it was only to be expected that new resources would come to light.

Today, the first previously unknown resource for e-Sword was attached there.
OT in the New.har.

Quotes from the Old Testament, that are found in the New Testament.
That this resource is a harmony resource, merely increases both the surprise, and pleasure at seeing it.

The contributor was Clint.
Congratulations.

e-Sword Social Networking Site

A new social networking site for e-Sword has been created.
e-Sword.ning.com.

Initially invitations to it were sent to the current subscribers of e-Sword_off_topic@yahoogroups.com.

It consists of web forums, and a place for individuals to create blogs, upload pictures and videos, and all the other things that are found on Social Networking sites.

e-Sword Wiki

A new wiki for e-Sword is being constructed.

e-sword.wetpaint.com

I'll be transcribing The e-Sword Utility Program FAQ to it.

I'll also be adding a description of e-Sword resources that are available to it. Well, I'm hoping that other people will contribute that part.
