New King James Version for OneNote 2007 Available

- Rob Bushway

New King James Bible (NKJV) - Nelson Bibles

In addition to the work I do at GottaBeMobile.com, I also have a side project I've headed up from the early days of Tablet PCs  - TabletBible.com, which brings inkable Bible texts, and other popular texts, to the Tablet PC for free.

In partnership with Nelson Bibles, I'm pleased to announce the availability of the New King James Version for OneNote 2007. It is now available for download at TabletBible.com for free.

Each book in the Bible is a separate OneNote section, with each chapter in the book belonging to a page within that section. Using the built-in functionality of OneNote 2007, you can insert your own ink notes, view the Bible text and notes in full screen mode, search your ink and text notes, sync your Bible notes between multiple computers, record the audio of sermons and play it back in time with your notes (with permission of course !), and insert additional pages and sections. The text has been specially formatted to allow plenty of space for marking up and taking ink notes: wide margins, double spacing, and more.

In addition to the NKJV, the English Standard Version for OneNote 2007 is also available.

If you would like to contribute financially to this effort, click here. All donations help offset licensing fees, hosting costs, and the time it takes to produce these texts and keep them up to date with current software versions. I'm currently working on bringing all GoBinder formatted texts current with OneNote 2007.

This is the great give-away, Rob. Thanks.

Rob: This is wonderful news. Keep up the good work.

I frequently use the ESV version you created for my personal devotions. It is great for leading a Bible study - can project the passage on the screen and write notes, highlight sections, etc. while not hurting the text.

It sure would be nice to know how to embed or lnk a Bible atlas picture or lnk into the text itself. Or perhaps link to another document. There may be a way I just don't know.

AZHiker: OneNote supports inner linking to other parts of OneNote files. I'll work up a post next to demonstate it.

Glad you all like it! Sorry about the file size - the OneNote printer used to have some options to use smaller print to image settings. Oh well. At least it is finally done!

Great news. I remember when you had similar offering for GoBinder, nice to see it is now available for OneNote 2007!

These versions are not the word of God. They are built on different
manuscripts than the King James Bible which is God's word.
Revelation 22:18-19 says what happens them that put out false doctrine. Truth can be a hard saying, but it's still the truth.
Start here http://www.christianmedianetwork.com/lastdays.html aong with the King James Bible.

By your argument then, how can the King James Bible be the word of God when it is an English translation and interpretation of the original texts which which were translated and interpreted by Scholars who were overseen, and would have had their work altered by, elders within the church.

Honestly, your blinkered belief that the writings of our ancestors 400 years ago must be the absolute and undeniable truth is depressing and sadly closed minds like yours are the cause of the problems we have around the world today. Sad to say but it is mostly our environment that shapes people's beliefs instead of our hearts and minds.

Rant over. How do you find the time for all this stuff Rob! You must only put in 2 hours sleep a night :-)

The last several weeks have been quite the challenge for sure.

I know I shouldn't take the bait, but I can't help it. (I teach Bible at the college level.)

Remnant, the Bible was written in Hebrew and Greek. Those are the languages for those who want to get closer to the original. The rest of us rely on translations. No translation is perfect, but the modern translations, thanks to archaeological findings, have accessed older and better manuscripts to work from, so they are closer to the originals than the KJV. It is also clear that Elizabethan English, (aka, the language of the KJV) is nearly a foreign language in itself to today's readers. Although the beauty of language is superb, meanings get lost or obscured. These modern texts are invaluable tools, and Rob gets my gratitude for his efforts.

BTW, Rob, when DO you sleep?

It's nice to know there are other geek Christians in the world! (I'm a software engineer ans a Presbyterian pastor) I run Logos on my tablets (P1620 and the HP TX2051) but I wish I could have the same level of Inking available... Question for you... Is NIV and any Greek/Hebrew translations in your schedule? God bless your efforts!
Friday, April 25, 2008 4:17:27 PM (Mountain Daylight Time, UTC-06:00)
I can see the Greek / Hebrew, but unfortunately, the NIV is too costly from a royalty and licensing perspective. They want $10k just for licensing, then royalty on top of that.

Fortunately, Thomas Nelson Publishers and Good News Publishers have been much better to work with.

Rob... I just kicked a few bucks your way... I was kind'a hoping I see something I could use at tax time... no bvig deal if its not but I thought I'd ask -- again thanks for your good work
Friday, April 25, 2008 4:58:18 PM (Mountain Daylight Time, UTC-06:00)
thanks for the donation. Unfortunately, I'm not a non-profit, so no tax benefit to you - sorry. You did help buy a nice dinner for my kids, though!

Rob, Thanks for all the work on this. You had mentioned quite awhile ago E-Sword (free bible software). E-Sword allowed me to read but not to ink. What I was doing (I checked the copyright and it doesn't appear to be a violation) was using OneNote's screen clipping tool to import selected passages and then ink in my thoughts. Now, I will be able to ink directly.

Turning the GBM into an unabashed promotion for religion, eh, Bob?
I really didn't realize I was among a group of superstitious freaks.
Here's a donation for you; some advice - 'Get a grip on reality'.

must... ignore... the kjv only comment!

i'm assuming the nasb would be a hassle with its license also? i bought it for the esword but inking on nasb would be cool as that is my main study bible.

i'm grabbing the esv version. thanks!

Hey Steve:

Certainly understand your and appreciate your feelings. In all the postings we do on GBM, I don't think you've ever seen me promote religion. We do, however, promote Tablet PC resources for a broad range of interests from ebooks, business productivity, accessories, and more. This posting pointing to one of those resources fits perfectly inline with we as as site do. In fact, on Monday, I'll be pointing to some ebook resources for children developed and illustrated on a Tablet PC by one of our readers.

Thanks, and have the best of a weekend. I appreciate the time you were a reader and welcome the time that you come back to visit us again.

Rob

Dave: I've pursued the NASB as well with just as much "luck". My suggestion would be to purchase the e-sword license and use the macro on TabletBible.com to push it to OneNote 2007.

SteveW,

In my college religion classes I try to teach respect for those who have different understandings and religious points of view, and the ability to state one's own beliefs without denigrating others.

I'd love you to visit my class sometime.

@stevew, if you have convinced yourself that God doesn't exist. could you not as easily convince yourself that rob never posted this? or if that question is to hard, could you not have just passed over this since you have no interest in it?

thanks rob. you do good work.

Rob, what you have done deserves more than just recognition. This must have been your heart's desire and a strong guidance from the Lord as well. Such resources will help believers, both lay and clergy, to know the Word. I just want to thank you and God for all your efforts and work.

Shame you couldn't just comment on the quality and effort of the work Rob did on this.

I'm not a particularly religious person, rather open minded, and keep an interest in the opinions of others. If you go through your life with that attitude and intolerance of peoples beliefs, well, good luck with that.

You obviously enjoyed GBM before, and Rob certainly does not 'push' his beliefs by any extent, but as soon as you find something out about him you had to be offensive. Well, all you did was show your ignorance.

Steve,

There is no reason to criticize Rob because he provides a service to people who have a religion. No one said that you need to have the same.

I've often believed that sometimes we are the only Bible some people see -- that the actions of our hands and hearts are a testimony to the Gospels... Rob's gentle and Christian response to Steve was a truer witness for Christ than his work on this tranlation -- I for one will be using his response (not by name) as a sermon illustration

Rob -
This is fantastic. Keep up the good work.
