After that you begin to see the improvements immediately! Yet there are so many of these, and the tools given the user are so varied and numerous that this review must of necessity be selective in its examples.

If you have purchased modules in versions 6 or 7, then BibleWorks will send you new activation codesand here getting them listed in the program is simplicity itself just highlight, click copy, and it will put the code right into the program and tell you to simply click and it will be listed in the program for activation. Right out of the box, as they say, BibleWorks 8 distances itself from its earlier version: If you have a DVD drive in your computer, there is only one disk to use for installation. With a heart that is set right and eyes fixed on Christ, and with prayer for the Spirit's help, BibleWorks 8 is a marvelously helpful tool to make preparation of sermons or personal Bible study more effective and efficient. A heart for people that drives you into the Word does. Greek and Hebrew vocabulary are not what makes a sermon or Bible study useful to God's people. I had my cross references in order and depth of material, but it was next to useless because I assumed that was enough.

But at a recent Session meeting I received the helpful criticism that my sermons were more Bible Studies than sermons and that people were not hearing the gospel. I use BibleWorks to aid me in preparing my notes. I am a pastor who preaches two sermons a week and teaches a Bible Study as well as a Sunday School class. You must do the hard work of understanding the text you are studying and use the software to that end or you may just end up with a technical display that edifies no one. Second, and closely related to this: a program does not make a scholar. Nor will you grow unless you meditate on as well as use the program to analyze the text. By this I mean that even if you become an expert in the use of BibleWorks or any other program, if you do not have a living and growing relationship with Christ, any work you produce using that software will not please God. I reviewed version 7 when it came out, and I think what I began with there is appropriately repeated here:įirst and most important, no Bible Software program can substitute for your devotional life. The good news for Bible Works users is that Bible Works is now available in its eighth version. BibleWorks 8 ( ), $349 for full version, upgrade discounts available.
