CD-Rom -- ''Quickverse Multimedia Life Application Bible''

"QuickVerse Multimedia Life Application Bible" Parsons Technology (800) 973-5111 Windows $49

Interactive Bibles have been around for a while, and now Parsons Technology has just released "QuickVerse Multimedia Life Application Bible," a CD-ROM for Windows.

The program is built around the New Living Translation, which presents the Old and New Testaments in modern English. There are also 10,000 entries from the best-selling Life Application Study Bible, a study guide designed to help users better understand Bible verses.

The CD-ROM lets users find verses that deal with such modern (but timeless) problems as child rearing, depression and stress. It features easy-to-use searching and cross-referencing.

There are pictures of Holy Land sites, classical biblical artwork, personality profiles of important biblical characters, biblical maps, trivia, and more. Unique, spherical images provide a 360-degree view of more than two dozen biblical sites.
