Accordance

I make no bones about being an Accordance fan. I think the interface is great, and it is truly designed for Bible study, and not simply super glorified book reading or others purposes. If there are any Mac users out there who haven’t checked out Accordance, I would urge you to do so. IF you do, please mention my name…

Get the Word Out: Referral Rewards: “

We rely on personal recommendations to draw new users to Accordance, and we are grateful to everyone who, for sheer love of Accordance, encourages everyone within reach to get it for themselves. But some people are a little shy when it comes to recommending a product. Some teachers use Accordance to prepare their lessons, but never mention Accordance in the class. Some students get great marks for assignments done with Accordance, but never let on to their friends. You know who you are…

So here’s an incentive to Get the Word Out ? our new referral rewards program. For a limited time only we will reward you with a $10 credit on your account for every new user who orders at least an Introductory level from us and mentions your name. And you’ll get an extra $50 bonus if you recruit 10 new users: a total of $150 to spend on Accordance products.

This promotion will be good for the month of July, so we encourage you to spread the word. Since we are posting this in June, you will have a few days head start working on your rewards. Get started now!

Remember: the new user must mention your name when he/she places the order for Accordance at the Introductory level or above. Now is the time to Get the Word Out, and let everyone know the value of Accordance!

Sample Accordance Lectionary workspace

I posted recently about using workspaces in Accordance or Libronix for sermon preparation. I use the historic lectionary, so that’s what I’m working on. One of the chief advantages of the one year lectionary is the ability to build and expand upon previous work. Here is my current Accordance workspace for Exaudi:

You can see that I have the ESV, NKJV and NA-27 open. In the Old Testament tab I have the BHS instead of NA-27. I also have the Book of Concord (Triglotta) open for the BOC reading for the week. In the bottom I have a user note which includes citations, sermon notes, and other items of interest.

What do you think? Could any of you use this, or something like it? I would be interested in hearing from 3-year lectionary folks, if there is something similar.

Here is the file for Exaudi for Accordance:

The Historic Lectionary and Accordance, Libronix, etc.

I am a regular user of Accordance, from Oak Tree Software. It’s (imo) the premier bible and electronic book software for the Macintosh. One of the projects that I have going on right now, in an effort to focus more of my energy on the primary tasks of the pastor (preaching, administering the Sacraments, and teaching the Sacred Scriptures) is that I am working on utilizing more of the resources at my fingertips for bible study preparation, and especially for sermon preparation.

So my latest project with Accordance has been to develop workspaces for each Sunday of the Church Year. This way each year as I come back to this Sunday, I can quickly and easily build on all of the resources and study I have done in year(s) previous on the same text. I am also using a great program called Leitourgia, but that is for another post.

This project has gotten me thinking. Has anyone done this before? I know that Libronix is the much more common interface. Are there any resources for the historic lectionary, or even LSB in general, that have been put together for Libronix? The LSB daily lectionary, for example.

I think this is a huge resource that the computer savvy pastor can make excellent use of. I would be interested in your thoughts.
