How to Use This Edition of the
The Living Bible
Alphabetical Listing of Bible Books
Old Testament
New Testament
The Bible in ebook form puts God’s Word in people’s hands in new and exciting ways. Looking up a verse in a Bible ebook, however, is not as easy as it is with Bible software. This electronic edition of the
The Living Bible
is designed to make navigation to any Bible verse as easy and convenient as possible using the following tools.
Quick Verse Lookup
The first line on the
Contents page
links to the
Quick Verse Lookup
page. Use this page to navigate to any verse in the Bible quickly. If your reading device enables access to a
built-in table of contents
(
How do I find this on my device?
), you will find the link to the Quick Verse Lookup listed first there as well for easy access.
Book and Chapter Headings
At the beginning of every book of the Bible you will find a list of
hyperlinked chapter numbers
. Tap or click on one of those links to jump to a specific chapter. From any chapter within a Bible book you can tap or click on the
chapter number
to jump back to this list.
The
title
of each Bible book or supporting feature (such as this how-to guide) is a hyperlink that will take you back to the Contents page.
Special Instructions for the Amazon Kindle
If you are using the second or third generation Amazon Kindle (with physical keyboard), you can also use the Kindle’s
built-in index
to navigate directly to a Bible verse by following these steps:
- Press the
Menu
key on the Kindle keyboard. - Select
Index. - Use the Kindle keyboard to type the name of a Bible book in abbreviated form (e.g.,
Gen
for Genesis), followed by the chapter, followed by the verse. Use a space to separate book, chapter, and verse (e.g.,
Gen 48 15
). On the Kindle 3 you must use the
Sym
key to enter numbers. As you type, the Kindle will jump to the next match in the index. - Press the center button of the Kindle
5-way controller
to select the link and navigate to the verse. Alternately, you could type part of the reference and use the
5-way controller
to move to a nearby entry and select it.
Note:
For those using the
Kindle 4
,
Kindle Touch
,
Kindle Fire
, or
Kindle app
on a mobile device or computer, it is recommended that you use the
Quick Verse Lookup
tool mentioned above, since at the time of publication these devices and apps have limited or no support for the Kindle index feature.
