Review: www.Olivetree.Com

Title: "Olive Tree"
Format: Website
Website: http://www.olivetree.com/

Commercial site offering downloads for Mobile Devices, with many free downloads available.

PROS
Extensive offering including Bible versions, commentaries, study tools and eBooks.
Many free downloads.
Easy navigation to find software compatible with your device.
Wesleyan materials are available as well as Calvinist.

CONS
Some items are for purchase only (to be expected...this is not a non-profit company!)

SUMMARY
I would give this one an 9.0 out of 10.0. In the words of their website, "With Olive Tree's trademark BibleReader software, which comes free with any Bible download, all of these translations are fully searchable. You won't need a concordance since you can look up every occurrence of a word or phrase of Scripture in seconds. With the Palm, Pocket PC, or Smartphone BibleReader, you can create bookmarks, take notes on a verse, and quickly and easily customize your screen layout to best suit your needs."

This is a great tool for the pastor on-the-go. Some of the translations are available only as purchase (such as the NIV for $24.95 or the NCV for $16.00)

This website should be your first stop when looking for Bible software for your mobile device.
