ichGlaub is a Anabaptist collection of historical and theological Christian books used by Christians throughout USA and Canada. Most of the books were originally written in German and later translated into English. One example is Riedemann's Confession of faith which was written in prison during 1540-42 for the Lutheran ruler, Philip of Hesse. He explains his goal of a renewed community and dispels popular misconceptions. His dynamic vision of radical and communal discipleship still challenges believers toward a greater faithfulness to the Lord and to each other. Riedemann creatively weaves together a fresh reading of the Bible with the classical creeds. He produces a powerful synthesis of Scripture and tradition on which to base Christian community. His dynamic vision of radical and communal discipleship still challenges believers toward greater faithfulness to the Lord and to each other. Riedemann's Confession gives theological grounding for the Hutterite understanding of economic communalism and offers practical examples. It still guides Hutterite communities. Also included in both German and English are the Chronicles of the Hutterian Brethren, which documents Hutterite life in Austria and Moravia from 1528 to 1665 and provides a wealth of economic, social and cultural detail from the standpoint of an oppressed and severely persecuted minority. This is just the beginning of what ichGlaub has to offer. Books like Hutterite Co's in WWI, Stories of the Hutterites, Over the Mountains, Hutterite Epistles, and Hutterische Artikelbuch, are bound to keep you reading through many a cold winter evening.

The whole Bible on your device, in a reader that gets out of the way — and a study library underneath it for the days you want to go deeper. The King James text lives on your device, so Truth opens instantly and reads with no signal at all. READ YOUR WAY Choose how Scripture reaches you: Classic, a chapter to a page; Continuous, the whole Bible as one unbroken scroll from Genesis to Revelation; or Verse Scroll, one verse at a time. On iPad, Book Mode sets it as a real book with pages you turn. Verses or paragraphs, your size and typeface, and the words of Jesus in red. Highlight, write notes and leave bookmarks, all gathered in one place, and Truth keeps your place to the verse. 27 TRANSLATIONS The King James is built in, and 26 more download once and then work offline: the Berean Standard Bible, the Literal Standard Version, Young's Literal, the Geneva Bible, the ASV, the World English Bible, the Douay–Rheims, six German Bibles including Luther 1912 and Schlachter 1951, and the Hebrew and Greek texts, from the Westminster Leningrad Codex to the Textus Receptus and the Septuagint. Compare any verse across the ones you have. HEAR IT READ Human-narrated Audio Bibles, in plain narration or full-cast drama. On the King James and ESV readings, the verse being spoken lights up as it goes. Keeps playing with the screen off and picks up where you stopped. Recordings from Bible Brain, provided by Faith Comes By Hearing. STUDY ANYTHING Tap a verse for the Hebrew and Greek behind it, cross-references, Matthew Henry's commentary, the people and places in it, and old words explained in plain English. Every person and place has a page of its own, and Chapter Study shows where the New Testament quotes the Old, from either side. The library holds Easton's Bible Dictionary, a full concordance, Nave's Topical Bible, the Treasury of Scripture Knowledge, a map and a timeline. Commentary is always labelled as commentary, never mixed in with Scripture. STUDY DESK AND PDF BUILDER Lay a study out as cards, group them into sections, connect them with labelled links, and add voice notes. Then turn it into a handout: passages, fill-in-the-blank verses, lines for writing and an answer key, printed on US Letter or A4 or read on a Kindle Scribe, on sixteen paper colours.
