ToYouBible is now available in the Play Store, aiming to provide a customizable and more personalized Bible by taking your name and gender and putting it in areas where it's applicable.
One passage might read like this:
“For God so loved Susan, that he gave his one and only Son, that Susan believing in him should not perish, but have eternal life.”
There's another version of the application that will allow you to insert your spouses' name in all relevant biblical passages. Gregory Ijiwola, one of its creators, says the goal is to make the Bible a more intimate and relevant experience for its users.
“We believe the Bible is God's letter to humanity on his love and plans for us and it contains the answer to all of life's questions. However, when people read it, the words and promises of the Bible oftentimes seem distant and meant for people who lived thousands of years ago,” Ijiwola said.
Bible reading on mobile devices is extremely popular, with popular Bible app YouVersion toting over 100 million users from all over the world.
There's no telling if ToYouBible will see similar popularity, however, it's a unique concept that, as Ijiwola believes, will make the Bible a more intimate experience.
