As a matter of personal preference, I use the Times New Roman font for most things. A pop up will also tell you which "F" keys perform the same functions. These allow you to jump ahead or back one chapter or one verse. Above tab #1 and below tab #10 are two sets of black lines with bent arrows. Genesis 1:1 is the default setting on all tabs. If I have various passages bookmarked, I can just click on a tab and the Bible window jumps to that passage. It is helpful to move quickly between them. I frequently am working with several Bible passages at once. Just right click on any tab and follow the prompt.
It gives you ten tabs you may set to any passage currently displayed in the main Bible window. I outlined the Bookmark Navigator in a heavy yellow line. Pull down Options and click on Display Bookmark Navigator so a check mark appears in front of it. In the various versions of the e-Sword program the Bookmark Navigator comes and goes, but it is still available, even if not displayed by default. The bad news is that too many modules added slows the program down, depending on how much horsepower your computer has. The good news is that you can add new modules at any time. There are features and modules available in e-Sword that I will never use. This Instructable is not meant to be complete.

The purpose of this Instructable is to give you a quick introduction to the features I find most useful and how to make them work for you. But, after several years I still discover some new feature. When I began using e-Sword I did not read the instructions, but simply began following my nose through it. Make a one-time donation of $15 US and you will receive a CD with most of the available modules on it. It is lime green because I clicked on it.) The author of the e-Sword program depends on donations by users to make e-Sword and upgrades to it available.

With this you can download a series of Flash Movies that will lead you through all of the features of e-Sword. Maybe John would be interested in seeing my steps, but I'm not sure Rick Meyers would be happy at us circumventing his installation procedures, then again, it is (arguably) harmless unless you specifically have company policy that prohibits you from installing non approved apps such as e-Sword on a company computer.One of the items in the home page menu is Training. I have detailed notes on each of the steps I took, but I don't want to simply post them here in case and violate any rules or case any ethics concerns.
My technique could probably be used as a mechanism to fairly easily make it portable, but would still require administrator rights to be able to register ocx files and unregister/remove them at program termination.

So the (white hat) hacker spirit in me came out, and I figured out how to make it invisible, though not truly portable in my case. Ironically, I liked it enough that I donated some money to Rick Meyers (significantly more than I have ever paid for any commercial product because I believe it is worth more), and heard nothing back when I sent an email asking if it would be possible to have a portable version.

True, eSword is not open source, and having bought and tried many commercial and free Bible reading packages, I agree it is the best available. Also, it is sola scriptura with no commentaries and very limited resources. It used to be open-source, but changed to closed-source in order to be more acceptable to publishers of modern Bible translations such as Thomas Nelson, Inc. also free, easy to use, and very fast.ĭisclaimer: I am the developer of BerBible. Versions for the PPC and Palm are available. It is about 10x to 50x faster than e-Sword. The ESV (English Standard Version c2001 from Good News Publishing) and NKJV (New King James Version c1982 from Thomas Nelson, Inc.) are available as free downloads.īerBible was designed to be an easy download and work well for missionaries in the 3rd world with sloooooow modems and obsolete, donated computers. There are a variety of self-contained starter-kit's (including app, complete Bible module with OT/NT, and documentation) that range in size from 1.1mb to 1.9mb. The Berean Bible study freeware (aka BerBible) is a small, easy-to-use application that works fine on a USB thumb-drive.
