What's new at Hope.

  1. Great App and Site for Personal Devotionals – SHE READS TRUTH

    SRT-AppLaunch_SRTSidebar_01
    As a woman on the go, I like apps that get to the point. And if they are pretty and easy to use? SCORE!

    She Reads Truth is the perfect blend of Bible-building knowledge, great design and easy to use interface. The app is free and includes many free study plans. Nehemiah and Justice (the newest) are speaking to me right now. Who writes the studies? Authors and bloggers Raechel Myers, Amanda Bible Williams, Hayley Morgan, Diana Stone and Rebecca Faires.

    It is truly perfect for ladies on the go, sitting for long times nursing or for any time you can grab a quiet moment of reflection. You can also follow along online on their website shereadstruth.com and purchase cute scripture cards and study journals for that tactile feel.

    Some great features:

    • Includes full bible for looking up text so you don’t have to open another app.
    • Has a comment feature, for those of you who have the social gene
    • Allows bookmarks and journaling!
    • Gorgeous images and shareable quotes

    Give it a free spin and let us know what you think!
