Love you brother

Good job

[@JD-xh3ex]

Great solid advice there. I especially thought the 3 points at the end were excellent.
I started with Accordance many years ago with an entry level package, and since then have built up quite an extensive library.... Usually taking advantage of the frequent sales.
Happy New Year when the time comes.

Thanks!

$0. Bible software is not necessary.

Few things in life are necessary. The software makes Bible study so much faster, easier, and in many instances deeper. It’s a tool to help you go deeper. It’s not for everyone. But a great innovation to take advantage of.
