** Touch Bible **
Touch Bible will help you get more out of the Bible. It works great on phones and tablets. However, it is more than a Bible reader, it gives you tools to help you comprehend what you are reading.

You'll love always having access to the following, where ever you go:
- Instant access to definitions from Strong's Concordance
- Instant definitions include information from combined resources:
-- + "Strong's Lexicons" (Greek and Hebrew)
-- + "Brown, Driver, Briggs Lexicon" (BDB)
-- + "Theological Word Book of the Old Testament"
-- + "Thayer's and Smith's Bible Dictionary"
-- + "Kittel"
- Easy search, bookmarks, verse notes
- An interface that is so simple you'll be reading in no time
- All of the above features work WITHOUT the internet.

** Strong's Lexicon? **
What is a Lexicon? It is like a Bible dictionary or concordance. The words in the Bible have been numbered, and those numbers (Strong numbers) are tied to definitions from the original languages of the Bible.

There was a time when you needed several books to conduct a Bible Study. But no more!

Touch Bible makes looking up words easy. While you read the bible you'll see that most words are links. Click on a linked word and you'll get so much information about the word.

Here is only a portion of the definition for "Grace..."

1. grace
--+that which affords joy, pleasure, delight,
--+sweetness, charm, loveliness: grace of speech
2. good will, loving-kindness, favour
--+of the merciful kindness by which God,
--+exerting his holy influence upon souls,
--+turns them to Christ, keeps, strengthens,
--+ increases them in Christian faith, knowledge,
--+affection, and kindles them to the exercise
--+ of the Christian virtues
3. what is due to grace
--+the spiritual condition of one governed by
--+the power of divine grace the token or
--+proof of grace, benefit
4. a gift of grace
--+benefit, bounty
--+thanks, (for benefits, services, favours),
--+recompense, reward

You can get this simply searching for "Grace" in the NT and clicking the word in the Bible section. Best of all, you don't lose your place when looking up definitions! (That can be hard to do with a concordance.)

Ratings and reviews

Used this for last few years. It has some flaws in it yet it does the need for my meditating when I'm at work and I check sermons I listen to. It does appear they try to find these small mistakes and fix them. We'll set up and simple to use.

I have used this app nearly every day for many years & WOULD have rated it 5 stars until the recent revision/update. Here is my big complaint (someone PLEASE respond): used to be, with a word search, every occurrence of that word would pop up in Biblical order. NOW, it's all mixed up, random. This seems like a huge mistake! If I want to see everywhere the word LIGHT appears in the book of Genesis, I now need to go back to my old giant concordance? No more room to comment. May need a diff app😔

Love the Concordance that comes with this NKJV, it's so helpful to understand the true meaning in the original Hebrew or Greek and so easy to use, just tap on the word for a pop up explanation. Brilliant app. I highly recommend it.
