New Christmas Toy!!!

I got to share with you a new toy  I got for Christmas.  My son gave me a gift card for a local Christian Book Store and since I was pretty much up to date on purchasing  all my reading material I decided I would get something I have really been wanting for awhile now.
When I finished reading my bible in a year at the end of last year, I decided it would be a great idea to have a bible on audio so that I can listen anytime that I want too, plus continue to read along at that same time. But I was running into a problem, you see,  I could only find either the OT/or the NT, but not both.  And both is what I wanted.  In comes my new toy, let me share with you a bit about the product.

"The Original GoBible® is a hand-held, portable device preloaded with the entire audio version of the Christian Bible.  The Original GoBible® does not interact with a PC; all of its content, over 70 hours of audio, has been downloaded onto the device. This is an audio device only.  The Original GoBible’s interactive on-screen menu allows the user to easily scroll through the Old and New Testaments and select the book, chapter, and verse which the user wants to begin play at.  The user may also, for convenience, scroll through a Story Index of 200 of the most popular Bible stories.  Additionally, the user has the option of following the Original GoBible's "Bible-in-a-Year" plan for listening to the entire Bible in 365 days.  The Original GoBible® provides a “Topic Index” that allows a user to find specific scripture passages of particular spiritual relevance to almost thirty relevant topics.  Lastly, the Original GoBible® can support up to 36 Bookmarks so the user can mark their favorite passages or where they left off listening. Presently, The Original GoBible® is offered with either the New International Version (NIV) narrated by Max McLean, the King James Version as read by Alexander Scourby or the New King James Version narrated by Stephen Johnston.
What makes the Original GoBible® device unique is that no other audio version of the Bible anywhere takes the audio down to the verse level.  All current recordings of the Bible break down the listening option to the chapter level.  We understand that people talk about, think about and study the Bible at the verse level.  Therefore, we have cut the audio to the verse level and indexed it so you may search for and begin play at any verse point in the Bible.  This has never been done before with the audio version of the Bible and the Original GoBible® is the only device in the world with this feature!
Bible In a YearThe Original GoBible® is operated with one AAA battery that can operate the device for more than 24 hours.  The Original GoBible® is approximately 3.5 inches by 2.5 inches by .5 inch.  The screen size measures 2.4 inches in diameter.  It weighs approximately 3.2 ounces. The box comes with an Original GoBible® device, headphones, a carrying case, a belt clip and a battery.  The Original GoBible® may also be played through two accessories; a set of portable speakers or an FM transmitter that allows audio to play through a car stereo; both may be purchased on the GoBible® website.  The Original GoBible® retails for $99.95.  "
With the convenience of this little bible I can take it anywhere, it's so portable.  I AM LOVING IT! I am going to start using it in my car for my long commute but I need to get a adapter for my car so that it can come through my stereo speakers.  You can find out more about this handy dandy technology by going to the website
Hugs and Blessings,
Cindy
