Visit from YouVersion

Yesterday, Olive Tree hosted two of YouVersion’s representatives for a great time of fellowship and sharing ideas. Bobby Gruenewald and Terry Storch, both pastors of LifeChurch.tv, spent the day with us. It is great to spend time with coworkers in the Gospel who have a similar passion to get the Word out. Olive Tree is very appreciative of their ministry. Below is a picture of Drew Haninger with Terry (left) and Bobby (right) standing in the Olive Tree office.
Olive Tree’s first official Android tablet!
11February 24, 2011
With today’s release of the Motorola Xoom by Verizon, one of Olive Tree’s Android developers, Scott Currie, braved the foot of snow that fell last night here in Spokane to be one of the first to get his hands on one. Upon entering the Olive Tree office, the new Xoom found itself immediately surrounded by not only the Android development team but also our iOS and other department teams excited by the new addition to our expanding tablet family.
Within minutes of arriving Scott installed BibleReader for Android. This tablet is sleek! Actually having a “live” Android tablet in the office is only fueling our developer’s drive to bring Android BibleReader’s potential to fruition.
One of Olive Tree’s employees has installed BibleReader on his personal Notion Ink Adam, also an Android Tablet. The picture is a little out of focus, but you can still see the text.

BibleTech 2011 – Intersection of Bible Study and Technology
0February 17, 2011
What better place to see the unchangeable Word of God meet the fast and fleeting world of technology…
Does the Bible change how we look at technology or does technology give us new light into the changeless truths found in God’s Word?
This year at BibleTech 2011, the Intersection of Bible study and Technology, Olive Tree will present two talks. Drew Haninger will be “Laughing at Radical Changes in Electronic Publishing Especially as it Relates to Bible Software,” and Steven Cummings, our Chief Content Engineer, will talk about Olive Tree’s latest development, “BibleReader 5: Reinventing BibleStudy for Mobile.”
If your passion is the Bible and technology, this conference is for you! It will feature both a high- and low-level technology track, offering something for the interested layperson, hobby technologist, and technical programmer. This two-day conference is designed for publishers, programmers, webmasters, educators, bloggers and anyone interested in using technology to improve Bible study.
