Title: e-sword Live!
Post by: eggi on November 18, 2008, 06:46:51 PM
Hi all,

I don't know if this has been discussed before, but I didn't know about this so I decided to mention it for you.
There is a new service (new to me at least) at www.e-sword.net. It's called e-sword live and it leaves other online bible study sites in the dust.
It's free and a great resource! I switched to Mac recently, and the only application I miss is e-sword, but I think this is good enough.

God bless you,
Eirik

I've been using it too.

Don't you just love your Mac though?

Yes, I love it. It doesn't wear you out like Windows Vista does. XP was OK, but when a lightning took out my old PC I decided to give Mac a try. So I bought a Mac mini since I already had a monitor. I have a feeling that the Mac makes you more productive and efficient. I have been using Vista at work and had nothing but trouble! It crashes often, is slow... I think I'll stick to Mac from now on. Too bad there isn't e-Sword for the Mac though... God bless you, Eirik

You may want to try this site for Mac e-sword  if you have ver 10.5

Eric,

What is the difference between the e-sword live and the link that Indianabob gave you?

Eileen,

I think e-sword live is stored on a server somewhere for us to log onto and use as long as we have a web link.  Whereas the Mac version may be down loaded to the local computer and used off-line.  There is a Windows version of e-sword that one can down load to a local computer also.

Check me on this to be sure.

Indiana Bob

Hi, yes, e-sword live is an online app like Google Apps, you sign up and then you can use it from anywhere, also on computers which do not have e-sword installed. I used e-sword on my Windows PC, but when I bought a Mac I couldn't use it because there was on Mac version. That is, until Bob led me to that webpage. There are other Bible study applications available for Mac, but most of them are not free, or/and not as good and intuitive as e-sword in my opinion.
