Good News Publishing have updated their handy widget for all of you Mac users. I find this a very handy way to quickly look up a verse. Just go into your dashboard, tap in a verse, phrase or keyword, press Enter and then the new ESV bible website will open.
This widget will work even if you don’t have a registered account. If you do though it really becomes powerful as you can get quick access to the ESV study Bible (purchase required) or you study notes etc.
Here are the instructions provided to install the widget – it is really quick to install…
