Alexa: “Play the Bible”
Alexa is Amazon’s “virtual personal assistant” who responds to voice commands for playing your favorite music, controlling products in your home, giving helpful information, and even, playing the Bible! Almost two years ago, Amazon added the YouVersion Bible app to Alexa’s vocabulary. You can use a voice command to hear a special passage from the Bible, or hear the verse of the day. You can even hear the Bible read by professional narrators. With today’s technology, all we have to do is ask—and we can hear the Bible! Engage with the Bible—in every sphere of its influence!
Now you can experience the Bible App on your Google Home or Amazon Echo devices. Just start with the same “Ok Google…” or “Alexa…” that you use to play music, answer questions, or add strawberries to your grocery list.
