I’ve recently come across a great Christian website called Eden.co.uk which seems to be striving to offer competitive prices online. We wanted to buy the Glo Bible, which is for sale in the Christian books shops at £49.99, but wanted to pay a bit less. The Glo Bible is an interactive software programme, which the Bible in various translations, it also has pictures, videos, commentaries, timelines, maps… It’s pretty massive. Things link together, and it’s updated through an Internet connection.
For a better description:
“NIV Anglicised Text
7,500 encyclopedia articles
463 virtual reality tours
102 expert videos
2,382 high resolution photos
689 works of art
147 maps and much more
Glo features the whole of the NIV Bible with British spelling, grammar and punctuation. Within 2 clicks, find a chapter faster than a paper Bible. The Bible is in its natural order and easy to read in a magazine format.
With a timeline, readers of Glo can view where events happened chronologically and in context with one another through a zoomable interface.
There is an atlas in Glo where major stories and locations of the Bible appear geographically with a zoomable Google-maps style interface along with map overlays, tours, photos, and videos from experts.
Glo is topical. Relevant verses for thousands of subjects are searchable by keyword and include commentary from leading authors, scholars and other experts.
With Glo, there is a huge collection of media to browse through, including HD video, virtual tours, articles, high-resolution photos, artwork, maps, and historical animations. The video library includes the “IN His Shoes” HD interactive documentary, that has stunning on-location footage and expert insight from Norman Geisler, Max Lucado, William P Young, Dr Joel Hunter and other scholars.
You can also personalise your reading plan with Glo with MyGlo. This is a special section that houses all your notes, experiences and content. MyGlo also includes a Bible reading plan to help you track your progress and set Bible reading goals.”
