Month: October 2024

We have loved to see people gaining a deeper understanding of God’s Word through the Filament Bible app. Now, we are excited to launch Filament into Spanish (NTV) and Portuguese (NVT) Bibles. Growing alongside our English Filament Bible Collection will be Bibles in Spanish and Portuguese with access to the Filament Bible app in their respective languages.

Current Filament Bible app users know how it enhances your reading experience by seamlessly linking your Bible with a treasure trove of resources, helping you dig deeper into God’s Word. With over 25,000 study notes, audio Bibles, videos, maps, devotions, and more, it’s never been easier to engage with Scripture.

Now, this absolutely free app can be used for readers whose heart languages are Spanish and Portugues.

What’s New for Spanish and Portuguese Readers? For Spanish-speaking users, the Filament app is now available with the NTV Bible translation, while Portuguese readers can enjoy it with the NVT Bible translation. While the app’s features are consistent across languages, the amount of available content is still growing. Currently, Spanish users have access to a complete set of study notes and a large selection of videos, maps, devotions, and profiles, with more content being added regularly. Here’s a quick comparison of the features available in English and Spanish:

New Filament-Enabled Spanish Bibles

The addition of Spanish to the Filament Bible app also means new Filament-enabled Bibles for Spanish-speaking users. One of the exciting new products is the Biblia de estudio del diario vivir para jóvenes NTV con Filament. This study Bible is already making waves for young readers, offering the powerful combination of Filament’s digital resources with the highly acclaimed NTV translation.

More Spanish-language Bibles are in the works, including beloved Bible brands like the Biblia Inspira, with plans to continue expanding the offering to meet the needs of our Spanish-speaking community.

It seems Christmas decorations show up in stores earlier and earlier each year. Though some people prefer to wait, we can rejoice in celebrating the season when we remember the Word making his home among us! What a joy for us as a Bible Team to be gifted an opportunity to work with the Word of God every day. We love all our Bibles, but each of us has one we hope is waiting for us under our Christmas trees!

Sibley: This Christmas, I’m hoping to receive the dusty pink Biblia de estudio del diario vivir para jóvenes NTV con Filament (Student Life Application Study Bible NTV, Filament Enabled). The color is the perfect shade of pink—elegant yet fun. I love the full-color interior, which makes studying the Bible more engaging and visually vibrant. Plus, with the Filament app, I can listen to the audio Bible, making my time with God even more enjoyable and accessible.

Sandra: For Christmas this year, I would love to gift my children the NLT Go Bible for Kids. There are so many enticing features that I know will draw them into reading and engaging with the Word of God in a way that feels both fun and meaningful. The Know, Grow, and Go mini devotionals are the perfect length for young readers, offering just enough insight to help them understand and reflect on Scripture. I know my kids will love the Factoids, and I’ll love seeing them absorb these bite-size nuggets of Bible knowledge effortlessly. I’m particularly excited about sharing the Book Introductions with them, which will give them a clearer understanding of how each book fits into God’s grand story. The Seek and Find guide will keep them engaged, giving them things to look for as they explore the text.

What I’m really looking forward to are the discussions we’ll have together as we dive into the Choose to Change questions—applying the Bible’s message to their everyday lives will open up such meaningful conversations. I also hope they’ll be inspired by the True Tales of Transformed People, helping them see how God changes lives both in Bible times and today. This Bible is so much more than just reading Scripture—it’s an interactive way to experience and live out God’s Word, and I can’t wait to watch my kids grow in their faith with it.

Maria: I would love to receive a copy of the NLT Dayspring Inspire Illustrating Bible, which comes with a large-format spiral binding and is full of beautiful artwork created by the talented designers at DaySpring. The NLT Dayspring Inspire Illustrating Bible would be an enjoyable way to interact with the Word of God in a unique and refreshing way. I would love to be able to draw creative illustrations while focusing on reading my Bible. Also, this Bible is Filament-enabled, so I would use the app to listen to worship music while I work to personalize my Bible with my own artistic touch.

Mindy: I would be thrilled to find an Every Woman’s Bible under my Christmas tree. My favorite binding is the sky blue LeatherLike, but the soft gold LeatherLike is also gorgeous. This Bible is all about sophisticated femininity and addresses topics from a woman’s perspective. Because over 100 women, many of whom are scholars, contributed to the study and devotional content, I can count on the accuracy of the notes and interpretations. I look forward to solidifying my God-given purpose as I read through the special feature in the middle, and I think it would be fun to gather a small group of women at my home to go through this rich and encouraging content together.

Ryan: As someone who loves reading, I tend to read all kinds of books—but often at the expense of reading the book. God’s Word, the embodiment of knowledge and truth, is a book that should be read over and over. The One Year Bible is the perfect Bible for reading God’s Word cover to cover, year to year. Dividing up the full, long, daunting biblical text into 365 short daily readings, the One Year Bible makes it easy to reread in a year the greatest book of all—and then to read it again the next year! I hope a new One Year Bible is under my tree this year.

Lauren: This Christmas, I hope to receive the Biblia de estudio del diario vivir para jóvenes NTV (Student Life Application Study Bible NTV). Although this Bible has “jóvenes” (“student”) in the title, it really is for life-long learners of Scripture—in other words, for all ages! With its full-color interior, its helpful graphics, and the wonderful Nueva Traducción Viviente (NTV), it would be the perfect addition to my Spanish Bible resources—for both my own devotional reading as well as for a church or ministry context!

Kim: I would love to receive an NLT Church Bible this Christmas! I love the beauty and simplicity of the black cloth-like hardcover design with the words Holy Bible in gold foil on the front. It’s a really great size and weight, which will make it a great Bible for taking to church and Bible-reading on the go. It’s also available in a 24-pack for churches!

Maissie: At the top of my Christmas wish list is the NLT Daily Walk Bible, Filament Enabled. It is perfect for allowing me to dive into God’s Word every day and gives me time to reflect on what God is teaching me through his Word. I love that it now has access to so many great study notes, devotionals, videos, and more in the Filament Bible app. I enjoy listening to God’s Word with the audio Bible in the app while I follow along in my Bible. The new durable LeatherLike binding will allow me to use this amazing Bible year after year!

Amy: I hope to wake up on Christmas morning and find the beautiful, new genuine leather edition of the NLT Courage For Life Study Bible for Women. This well-crafted study Bible is built around a discipleship path with an emphasis on transformation. It features a Bible study on every page, but these studies are not just tools for knowing more about God’s Word; they’re intentionally designed to help people experience significant life-change. Plus, the Bible is Filament-enabled, so every page is easily linked to a host of additional content to help me go deeper through the Filament Bible app. Courage For Life is about having the courage to invite God to transform your life through his Word and believing what he says. I know I need more of this kind of courage in my life—don’t we all?

Evie: I have always wanted to read through the Bible in a year but have a hard time staying on track. The One Year Chronological Study Bible lets me read through the whole Bible in story form with passages combined in timeline order. It also helps me better understand what I’m reading with study information, articles, and reflection questions. And that sage green cover is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen. It makes me even more excited to unwrap it on Christmas morning!

Jeff: I love the Life Application Study Bible, especially our brown genuine leather edition. There’s something mesmerizing about the combination of an excellent study Bible presented in a light brown genuine leather cover. I love the pebbled feel of the leather and that unique smell. And I love using the Life Application Study Bible when I’m leading students into the Scripture each week at church.

Steph: On my Christmas wish list is the NLT Student Bible, Thinline Reference, Filament Enabled. With a newly minted teenage son at home, we are moving on from his well-loved children’s Bible to one that will grow with him during this exciting, and sometimes challenging, stage of life. In a time when our youth are bombarded with questionable messages, it’s comforting to know he can ground himself in truth on the go with this easy-to-carry, slim Bible. I appreciate the relevant study notes, devotionals, and Bible maps and infographics that cater to our visual learner as well as the library of uplifting worship music and videos available with this Bible through the Filament app. I know he will gain so much from this Bible.
