    Frank across town (with our board, C4K) recently was given BibleWorks. I found it to be very powerful but very user-unfriendly.

    Same with Bibloi (used to be Bible Windows). I bought it, and it is very powerful but user-unfriendly.

    Like Soulman, I like Power Bible. It is the most user-friendly Bible software I have.

    Does anyone else use Seedmaster? This is a freebie that can be found on the Internet. It was the original to Gramcord but is now freeware. As Bible programs go, it is so-so, but did I mention it was free? And it gives you Thayer's definitions and parses all the verbs.

    Verb parsing is the one thing I miss on e-sword. I may need to have a look.

    The verbs are parsed on some of the Greek texts on e-sword.

    I guess I have missed that Stefan. I use e-wsord all of the time. Where are they parsed? That'll be great to have.

    http://www.e-sword.net/usermods/ about half way down, and there is another module you need, noted with the king james with verb tenses.

    Very handy as you anticipated.

    I used seedmaster till it became Bible companion and they sold it and it kind of waffled after another sale, don't know if anyone owns it anymore or not. I still use it with esword.

    In fact if you have:
    e-sword
    biblecentre.net
    ntgateway.com
    otgateway.com
    discipleshiplibrary.com
    bible.org
    You will have a very powerful set of resources at the tip of your fingers.With these six sites alone you will have almost every type of resource you could want both old and new.

    I use WordSearch... 5.0 I believe... I have yet to upgrade.

    My dad bought it for me at a conference at Saddleback Church in California in the form of the "Rick Warren Bible Library." It contains around 20 translations, numerous dictionaries, encyclopedias, and commentaries.

    However, I do like E-Sword's ease of use. WordSearch (at least version 5) can be a little clunky at times.

    I use a downloaded On-line Bible. But then I work lightly in Greek but need access to a Russian Synodical Version for cutting and pasting. Praise the Lord for the BJU students who matched the Russian text to Strongs numbers. [​IMG]

    Our junior pastor uses e-Sword from time to time.
    Our senior pastor has no clue whatsoever when it comes to computers, so for him it's notepad and Nestle-Aland on his desk and a dozen commentaries scattered on the floor.

    Man do I remember those days - I think, just perhaps, working that little bit harder was good for me.

    It is amazing how much faster one can read books than what is on the computer screen.
