YouVersion

YouVersion is self-described as a revolutionary online Bible reader. It displays the text of scripture as well as notes from the other users of the site alongside, which enables you to share and comment on the passage as you read. I haven’t played around with it much, but it seems quite Web 2.0ey and potentially useful.

Inspired Mobile: good reading on your mobile phone

topher — Sun, 23 Mar 2008 11:47:05 +0000

This past week has seen the launch of an innovative new channel for catching up on your reading anywhere and any time, using a very familiar technology: your cellphone.

Only a couple of years ago, the thought of reading a book on a tiny cellphone screen might have seemed ridiculous. But these days, with the advent of mobile applications such as Gmail, Opera Mini and Mxit, the concept seems quite unsurprising. Struik Christian Books are playing their part in the mobile revolution, by offering electronic book downloads at affordable prices, with most titles in the R30-R40 range.

Click on through to www.inspiredmobile.co.za and www.struikchristianbooks.co.za to find out more.

P.S. For those interested, we’ve covered downloading the Bible onto your cellphone in a previous post.

::harbourlight::

Together since the beginning of 2007, the Johannesburg-based band known as ::harbourlight:: was formed out of a worship team compiled for the events labeled ‘Ignite 4101‘. During the second half of the year, they have concentrated mainly on rehearsing together and developing their sound. In between they managed to play at a few events, including the Wits University mission driven by African Enterprise.

Recently the band headed into the recording studio to begin working on their first album, which will be released in 2008.

::harbourlight:: will be performing at the Just Jesus Session music festival in Camperdown on 30 December 2007 at 6:30pm.

The Exploits

topher — Sun, 25 Nov 2007 12:31:31 +0000

The Johannesburg-based Christian rockers known as the Exploits are confirmed to be playing at the Just Jesus Session 2008. This hard-working band also recently appeared on Teen Gospel Live, a live TV show airing on One Gospel (DSTV channel 331). Their debut album entitled ‘Start Today’ is available from their web site at www.exploitsband.com, where you can also watch the music video for the song ‘This Counts’.

Depending on your flavour, you could also check them out on Myspace or Facebook:

It seems the S.A. Christian music scene is heading for a revival, and the Exploits are among those unashamedly standing up to be counted.
