BCNmultimedia Releases Children's Bible Comic Books for iPhone
By Michele Leacock for Christian Comic Arts Society
BCNmultimedia has announced 5 months of success in the App Store with their Children's Bible for iPhone and iPod Touch. The full color Children's Bible app tells the stories of the Old and New Testament in seven different languages and is the first comic book style Bible to be made available to iPhone users.
Children's Bible allows people to:
* Get a new, free episode of the Bible in comic every month.
* Buy content in 7 languages with the purchasing system.
* The content covers the most important passages from the Old and the New Testament.
* The Children's Bible uses a faithful transcription of the biblical texts from the Good News Bible.
"While it has become a common occurrence to see worshippers attending their churches with digital versions of the Bible on their iPhone's, up until now that was solely for the adults" said Toni Matas, publishing manager of BCNmultimedia. "We wanted to give the children something that was just as accessible while being entertaining as well."
