The Resource Guide is the most powerful feature in the Olive Tree Bible App. As you read your Bible in the main window, the Resource Guide follows along and displays relevant Bible study information from your study notes, commentaries, maps and more.
Wondering where that ancient Israelite city is located that you just read about? Check out the map the Resource Guide will find for you, zooming-in or making it full-screen - or both.
Reading about a person, place, or thing but don't know what it looks like? If this book has an image of what you're looking for, the Resource Guide will let you know. Just glance under "Image," and tap to see the photo enlarged.
Did your resource mention a passage of Scripture, but you can't remember what the verse says? Never fear! Tap the linked verse and a pop-up window will appear, giving you quick and easy access to the verse in context.
Available for: iPad, iPhone, Android, Mac, and Windows.
