Recommended Resources | First Baptist Church of Holland

Here is where you can recommend a Bible app for your congregation.

Both the Logos Bible Software and Faithlife Study Bibles apps are available free for iOS and Android, and both use the same account system as this website, making it easy to keep your congregation connected.

Both apps also support Faithlife Proclaim’s Signals feature, which allows you to send a link from a Bible verse slide straight to someone’s app, making it easy for them follow along. There are also Signals for giving, calendar events, and web links.

Edit the page to reflect your recommendation, and whether or not you use Faithlife Proclaim for your church presentations.

The Faithlife Study Bible is a fully digital study Bible containing notes, media, and graphics. It is broadly evangelical and works with all popular English Bible translations.

The Logos Bible Software app is more powerful but does not come with any particular notes or commentary built in. Rather, it is portable Bible study software that draws upon a library of commentaries, dictionaries, devotionals, and more.

Rename this page “Recommended Bible Apps”.

Recommended Resources

There are so many resources out there today that are designed to help the believer live 'Christianly' and know God better. But as great as that is, it can be difficult and time-consuming to filter down through all of them to know what might be most helpful.

With that in mind, I have created a short list of tools I think are worthy of your consideration. This list is purposefully by no means comprehensive. (There are other websites for that.)

My prayer is simple. It is that you find something here that you can put to immediate use, aiding you in living the life God has called us all to, to the glory of Jesus Christ.
