Personal Devotions Meets Social Networking

Fifty years’ worth of experience, ten years of vision, five years of research and two years of development have brought us to this day. As of May 1, the new Word of Life Online Quiet Time is a reality. It has been in beta testing for several months and the collective consensus is…Incredible.

The Online Quiet Time includes power tools and one-of-a-kind features like:

Journal:

• • A distraction and ad free journal experience incorporating more than 14 translations in 9 different languages, and commentaries for easy reference
  • A prayer section, allowing you to add prayer requests, plus advance settings including scheduling and reoccurring features
  • Access to the prayer lists of church friends or family members using the Online Quiet Time and the ability to add their requests to your prayer list
  • Notification responses when people pray for your requests
  • Automatic updates posted to your prayer list
  • Multiple Bible reading plans
• Community:
  • You can see, comment and dialogue with all of your friends as it relates to their Quiet Time. Jack Wyrtzen, Founder of Word of Life, used to say, “Your Quiet Time isn’t complete until you share it with someone.”  We have integrated social media tools similar to Facebook to enhance and encourage you in your devotions.
  • Includes group tools allowing churches, youth groups, small groups, Sunday school classes and families to post content, plan events and have discussions, thus facilitating interaction between daily devotions and the body of Christ.
  • Check out the video at http://vimeo.com/21596919.
• Accountability:
  • Includes built-in practical accountability tools.
  • Provides a messaging system that can take your accountability to the next level.

That’s not all!  We are already working on Phase 2 of this project, which will include:

• Connections to smart phones and iPads
• Additional Bible reading plans
• Family and friends gift subscriptions
• Additional sharing and searching tools for the prayer list section
• Connectors to Facebook and Twitter that will allow you to dictate how you want your Quiet Time to interact with your Twitter and Facebook pages
• Customizable notifications
• Customizable accountability for greater communication with your accountability partner
• SiteLink – a powerful way to put the Online Quiet Time on your church website.  Word of Life will take care of the mechanics but your church’s banner will be displayed making this another ministry of your church.

This is an incredible tool for students, families and the entire church. If you would like to have a free 3o day trial subscription to the new Online Quiet Time, just send me your email address via my blog, Twitter or Facebook and I will send you a code so you can try it for yourself.
