For some reason I've gotten this email, assuming it's the same one, three times.
This is very nice, but I think people are looking for a Bible program with built-in study aids and note-taking capabilities and access to different versions, etc. It isn't that hard to find various versions of the Bible, but finding an accessible comprehensive tool is much more challenging. Sighted people have various comprehensive programs from which they can choose and to which they can add and update; we really don't. This doesn't mean I'm unthankful for all the versions of the Bible I have - braille, recorded, electronic. I still remember my desperate longing for a Bible at age nine, and I appreciate every single Bible version and tool I have! I'm just explaining what people would be looking for in addition to this that is available, albeit sometimes at an extensive cost, to sighted people. -- Cheryl I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf. I got crumpled wads of tear-stained paper thrown in the trash! Then God gave me a new heart and life: His joy for my despairing tears! And now, every day: "This I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness."
