"Talking Bibles"

Post by JimT »

The majority of the population here cannot read or write, including many of our church leaders. This is an oral culture and they remember stories and lessons very well, but not being able to read or write is a hindrance as you can imagine.

The "Talking Bible" is a huge help and fits into an oral culture very well. Last night I received a shipment of these for distribution to church leaders here.

These contain the entire Bible .. these are in Portuguese .. we have others in native dialects. The Bible is searchable by BOOK, by CHAPTER and by VERSE. It also contains The Story of Jesus in narrative form and a 50-Lesson Bible Study Course.

The Bible is rechargeable by placing it in direct sunlight or if one has electricity, by using a cellphone charger. It can also be charged by placing it near a lightbulb overnight.

All in all it's a pretty neat tool.

With all the junk our modern techno-society churns out, it's nice to know that there are some electronic gizmos that have redeeming features... 8)

Obviously, that would be great for the blind, too. This is science working for God.

You can find out more about them at www.megavoice.com

The one's I got were assembled in South Africa but you can get them from the US also. The Bible is the Good News Version. Most of the people in bush don't understand the old Portuguese in the earlier versions.

The ones I got were about $28 USD each.

Department of Corrections here distributes them to our convicts if inmates is disabled. Not necessary to turn pages with these devices.

Nothing to good of our convicts.
