The Land of Ozz

***I have eBible.com invitations available. Read on for details.

I have been spending a little more time over at eBible.com lately. I got turned on to this awesome new online Bible study tool a few months ago by way of a DIGG post titled “Jesus Loves Web 2.0: eBible”. I dugg the story and blogged it on my Tech Land blog back in May. My buddy Trace saw my blog post and offered me an invite to eBible.com. Trace is the super geek network guru behind the scenes over at Seacoast Church. He wears many technical hats for Seacoast Church and still finds time to help keep folks like me informed about the cool stuff like eBible.com.

A few weeks ago I got an email from Geoff over at eBible.com. He said that he follows my blog from time to time and wanted to know if I had heard of eBible.com. I responded and told him that I had not only heard of their site but was already a user thanks to my friend Trace. I told Geoff that I have been planning to write a blog post on eBible for a while now. Geoff responded to me with a gracious number of invites that I could use to offer to you my readers when I did write a blog post about eBible.com. The eBbile.com site is still in BETA, but stands out as a new breed in the Bible study barn. The reason for the BETA is because the site is still under development so they are restricting the number of users for now.

I still use other online Bible resources, but eBible.com definitely has found its place in my Bible study tool kit. My favorite feature that is unique from other online Bible sites is the ability to bookmark verses with the option of adding custom tags and notes. I can also make my bookmarks visible to other users or keep them private. I have the ability to open two translations side by side for comparison. The number of available translations is limited compared to other popular Bible sites, but that is a minor shortcoming that I am sure will improve with time.

I have over a dozen invitations to eBible.com. I actually have twenty, but I want to save a handful for some folks in my Tuesday night Bible study. The rest of the invitations are being offered to you the readers of this blog. The invitations are on a first come first serve basis, and I am only asking for a little link love in return. If you have a blog or web site, I would appreciate a link to my blog and a link to the eBible.com blog (http://blog.ebible.com/). If you don’t have a blog or web site, then just leave me a comment or send me an email. I promise that I will not share or sell your email address. If you have your own blog and choose to track into this post, then please remember that my fine print will always apply. I moderate all trackbacks and comments. My email address is theozz{at}gmail{dot}com (of course you will need to replace the {at} and {dot} with the normal at and dot characters respectively).

It may take 24 hours or more to see your comment displayed and get your invitation out to you.
