For a Bible student or teacher who wants to delve deeper into God's Word, SwordSearcher is a wonderful tool! Study and research of any topic can become quite tedious. However, SwordSearcher arranges numerous theology tools at one's fingertips to ease the burden and quicken the research process by taking out some of the tedious steps. For instance, if you commonly do word studies, turning through a massive Strongs Concordance is usually the only option - that or web based browsing tools such as biblegateway.com. Swordsearcher puts all that in one place. If you use the KJV with Strongs Links option of SwordSearcher, then your Bible text comes with the Greek or Hebrew word right next to the English word. You simple click on the word you want to look up and it automatically finds the Strongs entry for you. Then, you click on the Strongs entry and it automatically finds every usage of the word in the Bible. A word study done in two clicks! How awesome is that? Beyond that, SwordSearcher makes commentary reading a snap. Not only are the Greek or Hebrew words right along side the regular English text, also to the side of the text are links to every commentary that SwordSearcher has. If there are twenty commentaries loaded, and I am looking at a passage like John 1, then every commentary that has something written about John 1 will display a link to the side. You simply click the commentary you want, and the text will pop up for you. And finally, adding everything I just said together, SwordSearcher displays all four windows at once - the Bible with Strongs links (top left), the Strongs definition of the word (top right), every usage of that word in the Bible (bottom left), and the commentary text (bottom right) (this might be editable, I have never tried because I find it immensely useful as is). This tool makes study so simple. For experts, it will shorten your study time. For novice's, you'll find the easy access to information as a great way to finally grow deeper in the word, without having to own a theological library. It is a theological library. Clear up your desk space, and use this great software to grow deeper in the word, faster. I was given my SwordSearcher software when I entered seminary. Since then I have purchased the software for two other individuals. Why? Because it helps me so much, I knew it could be a great help to these two other individuals. It's not a flashy software, it's all meat and potatoes, and I love meat and potatoes!

I highly recommend this if you are doing a deep study of the Bible. It is filled with all kind of gems, I am still discovering even more of what it can do each time I use it. If you are a teacher you will love how easy it is to put your notes on a study board which you can later print out and use as a hand out in your class. If you are a person who just wants to dig deep get ready, for it gives tremendous help in searching God's word.

If you are looking for a good study suite to open your heart to the word of God this is good one to have. I have been using it for sometime (last 6 years) and rediscovered it when I wanted to read through the bible in a year. However, I started to use the reading schedule as a study schedule and realized how some of the teachings that I have had over the years were not complete. Now that I am doing this on my own it has help me emotionally, physically and spiritually as well. I plan to continue to use this software and look forward to sharing this with other members of my family. Recently I had upgraded to the most current version followed by a system problem which caused me to loose the software. I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly the response was when I sent information to the company explaining what had happen and they resent me information as to how to reinstall the software. I was prepared to wait for several days and the response was under a couple of hours after sending the email. I plan to share this with others in my travels as such permits. Remember you get out of life what you put into life. Happy studying! I have also purchase another copy for a deacon that I know and setup a study P.C. for him as well. This application is wonderfully designed to the point that one doesn't require any other software to immerse one's self into the word of the Lord. Now that I have been studying using this application I can really see why I have not understood the word and now I am still learning. Wishing that at the least that I had read through the bible at least once a year from the moment I got saved until today. Do yourself a favor get a copy if only for reading and researching verses when you get stuck. You will be blessed!

I was pleasantly surprised by this software. It's great for doing word studies; it has the King James with Strong's Link in it wherein you have a word in a certain verse and below it it has that word in the Greek or Hebrew. Then by clicking on that Hebrew/Greek link it gives you that word's meaning. Very Cool! The only issue I had with it is that the photos are not the best quality and the illustrations are rather dated. Still it's good resource for your library.

Great for deep dives into specific topics and preparing for lessons or messages.

I am a writer-researcher of Bibical studies. I am 87 years old but still work 8-10 hours a day reserching and writing using my comuter. This is the first time I have ever had these alsost comical problems. "The computer ate Swords Searcherr CD while trying open and run it. Before "losing" the CD, it fell off into the interior of my comuter. . . I was unsucessful loading the CD. I tried six or seven times with no success.I'd like to return it, but it's lost somewhere in the chasis of my computer. I ran one of my musical CDs and it worked fine. I am not mechanically iinclined and since the CD stuff still works I am not inclined to hire someone to open it and find the Swordssearcher C.D.I was not successful downloading software. Ironically, my disc drive droped CD into my computer so I can not return it for a refund. (This has never happened before with this computer (7 years old) . Prior to losing the CDD U could not getthe software loaded. The failure is probably me, but the fact is I cannot get the software to work. I have NEVER had this prooblem using a PC. The software advertisement was misleading. I would like my money back but (seriously) my comuter swallowed the CD. I have used comuters for the last 40 yearrs as a coputer systems analyst (16 years) and privately since retiring from data processing center. I'd like my $83 back. Reno Damerau

this proving to be a very useful time saving tool with good selction od commentaries and other theological information.Wish that I know before purchasing some recent books.
