Laridian releases new commentaries for Pocket Bible
http://www.laridiansales.com/order/productpages/LBKLANTC01.asp?order_platform=ce
Laridian has just released their second "Life Application" resource. They released the "Life Application Study Bible Notes" a few months ago and just this week, they have released the "Life Application New Testament Commentary."
Book Introductions discussing the author, date, setting, audience and the main themes of each book with their importance for today.
Over 2,500 in-depth comments that:
� Explain every passage in the New Testament clearly and concisely
� Answer the questions most people ask
� Show Scripture's connections to real life
A Harmony of the Gospels detailing over 250 events in the life of Christ
You can find out more information and see a sample reading at the link above. It requires nearly 3MB of storage space, works fine on a storage card and costs $19.99. It requires Pocket Bible be installed and a translation of your choosing for the links to verses to work, all sold separately. I've had it for about 24 hrs and am quite impressed at the level of detail in the commentary, and as always, Laridian has done a fantastic job of integrating it with the rest of the Laridian books. You can even add your own notes and thoughts to the "margins."

Thanks, Ed.
BTW, if you sign up for Laridian's email list, when the new products come out you get a 20% discount off the new product and any other products you purchase in conjunction with the new product purchase.
Each time they release a new product I purchase it and a different version of the bible.
As someone stated in the posts to your news about the Pocket Bible update, my 128MB SD is getting full!

LOL! Pure coincidence. I've been a Pocket Bible user for years. Did the Pocket Artist post last week for fun and then this week, Laridian has had two releases.

Ed have you looked at the two version? Ok I understand that one covers all of the bible, and the newest one just the New Testment. So are they basically the same, or not? If one has The Life Application Study Bible Notes does one not need The Life Application New Testament Commentary? The pricing on these two and the discription have left me confused.
Thanks

I'm not sure how I signed up since I purchased Pocket Bible last year but I always receive an emial when a new product comes out and get a 20% discount. I purchased LANTC and NRSV yesterday for $30.98.
I checked my profile on laridian.com and checked the website to see if there was anything special you needed to do to get the new product email. I didn't see anything.
I have contacted the folks at Laridian because of order foul-ups I made and they were really nice. Maybe you could contact them and they would advise you on how you can get the discount email on the future.
(I have yet to pay full price for any of their products. Which is a nice savings of around $30.)

I own both downloadable versions. They are not the same. I have the print version of LAB and the print commentary for just Matthew (cost me around $10 used on Amazon.) The downloadable commentary is more in depth than the downloadable notes but is a condensed version of the print commentary. (Hope that wasn't confusing.)
BTW, they have not released a print version of a commentary for the OT yet.
I had debated buying the entire 17 volume LAB NT commentary in print. Now I have the condensed on my PocketPC so I definitely won't be investing the $100-200 for the print version thanks to Laridian.

I keep forgetting the Christian God is still alive and well in the States.
In UK Allah gets more prayer than JC, a politician reffering to God too often is risking his career in Europe.
