Start your day with a quote from the Psalms or browse through the hundreds of quotes in the collection. You will find each quote to be thought provoking and uplifting.

The New American Standard Bible (NASB) is a favorite among Bible readers because of its faithfulness to the original languages and readability.

Each quote is set against a beautiful nature image background.

What's the difference?

This application is more than just a verse and pretty picture. Each picture has been carefully chosen to match the verse below through some keyword or concept whenever possible. You will enjoy seeing how images of cuddly creatures, mountains, stars, sunsets, sheep, penguins and more make the inspirational verse more interesting and meaningful.

Elegance and ease of operation characterize this application. The inspirational verse of the day is delivered quickly and additional verses are available with the tap of a finger.

Upon launching, the daily quote is automatically presented. If you wish to view tomorrow's quote, tap the screen in the middle right area. If you wish to view yesterday's quote, tap the screen in the middle left area. You can advance the quotes forward or backward as far as you want with additional taps. It is also possible to view the quotes in a random order by tapping the top of the screen.

Text Box: Figure 2 - Entire Quote and Code Figure 2 shows a case where the entire quote fits within the text box. The reference for each Psalm excerpt is clearly presented on each screen. If you wish to read further than the excerpt, there are many fine iPhone Bible applications.

Text Box: Figure 3 - Quote can be scrolled In Figure 3 you will notice that the entire quote does not fit in the text box. In order to view the rest of the quote, you can use an up or down swipe gesture within the text box to scroll the text.
