Amen.Gd & Catholicy.com
We have reserved a couple of amazing domains (Amen.Gd & Catholicy.com). We are looking for inspirational recommendations from the community on how to use them to further spread God’s Word. Please DM @Gospelr if you have one!
Bibles Wanted.
We are looking to expand our online bible library to all versions. Our service requires that we upload a text-based bible in CSV format. Basically each verse is listed in the file as its own row with the corresponding book, chapter, and verse information.
If you have access to bibles in this format or consider yourself unique skilled to help create text bibles in this format, please send me an...

Added Bible Book Type-Ahead and Verse Selection
You can now choose between a drop-down list of bible books or a type-ahead text box with chapter and verse selection. This new feature helps you go directly to a specific chapter and verse to begin reading the bible. You can enter a specific chapter number or use the chapter:verse format.
Click on the “plus” image next to the text box to switch between the two options.
We enjoy...
GodRules.com
I have owned the domain GodRules.com for over a decade now and recently directed it at Gospelr.com. I can definitely see an uptick in site traffic. Not surprising though as God Rules has 94M results returned on Google. Trying anything to increase spreading of the Word.
God Bless,

Based on user feedback, many usability enhancements have been made to Gospelr.com.
Many people apparently didn’t understand that they could actually tweet from Gospelr in the top text box and were copying and pasting bible verses into their own Twitter clients. We have added the “Tweet It” button almost everywhere on the site where a tweet could be generated including directly...
Live Twitter Stream View Added to Gospelr →

The data on the page continues to update every 10 seconds so that you can watch all of the discussions on the Twitter surrounding these keyword mentions. Check it out and let us know what you think:

URL Shortener Functionality Added
Like all good Twitter client stewards, Gospelr has added a URL shortener to our tweet updates. You can still reference verses using the following logical format:
http://gospelr.com/quote/book/chapter/verse
example:
http://gospelr.com/quote/Genesis/1/1
Now Gospelr will reference gospel comments and tweets like this:
