Christian books can be expensive, and it's quite likely that someone else in your church family already has the book you're interested in reading and would be willing to lend it to you. Or, you might have a book that someone else would like to read. This app lets you list (and scan in via the barcode reader) the books you own and would like to read to create a virtual library so you can lend and borrow books.
