“The unfailing love of the LORD never ends! By his mercies we have been kept from complete destruction. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each day. I say to myself, “The LORD is my inheritance; therefore, I will hope in him!” (Lamentations 3:22-24)
What a year we all have had! A generous dose of joy and excitement, along with a heap of grief and confusion. While some rejoiced in their victories, others cried at their losses. Yet each of us – you and me – was sustained by God’s merciful and faithful hand! Whatever good or bad we’re leaving behind in 2012, our Lord Jesus is near to us as we step into a brand new year!..
Just as Samuel after the battle, we want to proclaim at the end of this year, “Thus far the Lord has helped us” (1 Sam. 7:12). We praise our Father for providing for our families when we were unable to, for sustaining our health when we thought our bodies a lost cause, for stirring hope and strength within us at the end of our failed attempts, for humbling us when our successes blinded us, for walking with us and carrying us when we feared we were alone… What an amazing, powerful, loving God we serve!
Along with our kids we pray for a blessed 2013 for you and us. May our eyes see the mighty hand of our God, our ears hear His voice, and our hearts follow Him daily in this new, exciting chapter of our lives!..
I was on the verge of purchasing one of your Bibles on Amazon this evening but I decided that first I would download the free sample to see if the navigation worked any better than the non-Osnova Bibles that I have already purchased. Unfortunately the directions that you give at the beginning of the Bible do not work with the Kindle Paperwhite. Are you aware of this? At first I thought that your directions for the Kindle Touch might apply to the Paperwhite since it has a touch screen but they do not. Are you planning to release any Bibles with Direct Jump for the Kindle Paperwhite>
Roy, thanks for writing.
First, sorry for the lack of directions for Paperwhite. I bought it not a long time ago and haven’t had time to update all the files yet. Second, samples on Amazon strip lots of internal code. Amazon takes “scissors” and chops off a chunk of file. Lots of internal coding is left out. For this reason, many features do not work in samples.
Finally, on my Paperwhite, I use DVJ-2 (as described below). No indexing is required for DVJ-2.
DVJ-2 on Kindle Paperwhite
1. With the Bible open, tap at the top of the screen.
2. Type in the search window the abbreviation for the desired Bible book (use only the ones from the Table of Contents), followed by a space. Then type the chapter number, followed by a space, and the verse number. For example, jn 3 16.
3. Change the search from “This Book” to “Index Items.” Press Enter and tap on the search result. Voila, you are at your destination.
• Some Kindles (e.g. Kindle Paperwhite, Kindle Fire HD) include two types of Table of Contents (“TOC”). To open one of them, tap at the top of the page and then on “Go to” (it make take some time to open), you will see the TOC that you can scroll up and down, you may also collapse or open TOC levels by pressing on the small triangles to the left of some TOC entries, and move to any section in the publication by choosing it in the list. To open the other TOC, select “Go to” as above, and then select “Beginning”, then “Go to” again, and finally choose “Table of Contents” (or “Old Testament TOC”/”New Testament TOC”).
