WordLive

One thing that I struggle with on a regular basis is reading the Bible daily and I guess I’m not alone in that struggle. Reading the Bible and praying shouldn’t be something we squeeze in to our days, it should be a priority. Anything that helps people to engage with the Bible regularily has to be a good idea.

There is a new free service developed by Scripture Union called WordLive that is designed to help people to engage with the Bible in a variety of ways. The website offers a daily Bible passage and options to explore it through Bible studies, music, video and podcasts. As well as the website and the podcasts there are RSS feeds, daily emails and a specially formatted version of the site for mobile phones.

The variety of ways to access WordLive makes it flexible appealing to those of us who spend plenty of time on a computer.The service is in it’s infancy (it launched on 1st January 2008) and there is room for improvement in things like the flexibility of the email options, but I am sure that these things will develop as the service matures.
