What’s New on twmodules.com as of February 13, 2013

1. New free ipad app reads theWord modules. Please see the links below and download this free app from the itunes store which will allow you to read TW modules.

• Software Website: http://www.holybibleanswer.com/
• Itunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ibible-study-hd/id597291980?ls=1&mt=8
• Will not read compressed TW modules, nor gbks, only dictionaries and commentaries. If you have a TW module that you want to use on the ipad with this program and it won’t read the module, then open the module on your PC and decompress it.

2. Megapacks/Bundles. (Feb/6/13) So the new thing is “bundles“. My first “Monthly bundle” is now up,

Download our modules (the public domain ones) by year in a single package (see top of sidebar).

3. New Search by Category. I have added a new widget on the sidebar that allows you to search for books within a category. (See sidebar to use. The sidebar is not on this front page of the website, but go to the menu above, and it is on any of those pages.).

4. New codes. Note that I am using new filename codes, TES and TOS, so read the post comment at “New Optimized Commentaries.” This will help users find these commentaries in the Bible linking feature of TW.

5. New website design. Note that coming to the website now lands you on this page, and the module download posts are on another page.

6. Changed the website theme as of April 5, 2013.

7. ”©” Copyrighted Modules. Various people (like 6 or more) are copying my modules onto other platforms and websites. To make sure you all understand, a public domain work has no copyrights on it, and can be freely done with as you wish. A copyrighted work is one in which you cannot “do anything” with it. I have secured permission from the author/copyright holder to upload their material to my website, and these works are here for your use. You may download them, copy them onto a CD/DVD/USB/send via email to give these works to other people. YOU MAY NOT REPOST THEM ON ANOTHER WEBSITE! That includes even if you format shift to the format of another program, e-Sword, MySword, RTF, DOC, PDF, HTML, etc. I am marking my modules with a ”©” after the title when I understand that there is a copyright involved. For these modules, you will have to research the copyright owner’s name and contact information and ask them personally for permission. My permission to use does not extend to other reposting these modules on other websites. Note: Bible.org material is especially off limits and I understand that they are not giving permission to anybody else except me as far as theWord, e-Sword, and MySword formats. Also note that ALL of Tozer’s works are under copyright, and when I asked their publisher about using them, he said that nobody has permission to post any of Tozer’s material except in book format (paper and ink) via them (the publisher).

If you are just a user of these modules, don’t worry about this. If it is here, it should be either public domain or used with permission for people to download and use. You can give away these modules (except premium modules) without worrying about copyrights. You may not sell or repost or format shift and repost any copyrighted modules though.

Note: Although I am using the ”©” symbol to indicate to you what I know, that does not mean that I have all of the modules marked, and anytime you upload something from here to some other place, you are responsible to investigate the copyrights of the work.

New Module Formats

I am adding module interlinking to my modules, which means that I am putting links to other places within the same module, and recommended modules and chapters in other modules so you can quickly jump between similar material. This is where theWord shines best over other Bible software programs, and where the user gets his greatest power boast! Coming soon!

Also while on this topic of new formats, note that TW now has a devotional module format, and I will be converting my devotional works into this format.

The Links don’t work

Every theWord module has to have a unique tw ID. This TW ID is found in the module properties for the module, put there by the module creator. For the most part, this goes unnoticed by you the user. Every intermodule link (see above) that I make within a module is based on the target module’s TW ID. If you download a TW module from some other website, either they have copied my TW ID (in which case the link will work, same as if you have downloaded it from my website), or nothing will happen.

When an intermodule link is to a non-existing module (in your library) then the link will not work. Because of this, I am adding download links (“[Download id not defined]” or “[DN]“)so you can quickly download the module with the correct TW ID. I recommend that you always look for modules first on twmodules.com, because these are the only modules I will use to make intermodule links. You can download modules from other websites, but when it is the same as one of my modules, redownload it from my website so that the interlinks will work.

Have modules you want me to include in the interlinking system? Send me an email with the module attached, and if it is okay as far as copyrights, I will include it and add it to the interlinks.

Library Modules broken apart

Google search doesn’t like library modules (multiple books in a single module), nor are they helpful when searching across modules. Therefore, in general I am not using them. I am also breaking apart those that already exist on my website.

What I’m working on

First of all, I am trying to get the bundles up for each month so that you can quickly download the entire website. I am also working on a CD of the entire website that I would send by mail. Secondly, I am working on speeding up the website. Thirdly, I am trying to improve the libraries and group listings of specific modules in a group. Fourthly, I am trying to break apart some of the older modules that are in libraries. These things don’t get picked up in Google searches very well, and they need to be separate in order to be noticed by Google.

theWord Tutorial Site

I also maintain a theWord tutorial site for teaching newbies how to use and do things in theWord program. Please take time to visit and learn.
Site: thewordtutorial.com

How to properly use this website:

1) Read this overview page from time to time to keep up with news from me, David Cox, your webmaster.

2) Check the daily uploads of new modules (click on Posts in the upper menu bar). This changes daily almost. You can also subscribe to our RSS feed to be emailed when new posts are uploaded.

3) Click on the Google Plus buttons. When you see a title you want, click on it, and read the page description. If you want the module, click on the download link. If at this point you consider the module a valuable book, click on the Google+ button.

What this does is to tell others that this particular module is something you think is valuable. Google will add this to their search engine results, and raise  that particular page in its rankings. Please help us increase our Google ranking for the pages that contain good books (your call there).

4) Investigate our resources. You can see a list of all modules by title, or by author/title (these and others are in the menu bar drop down, under Indexes). I am doing away with the affiliations. Look for the keyword in the tags for any particular post, and you can go to works by people of the same affiliation, Presbyterian, Baptist, etc.

You can see specific groups of modules by using the Main Menu options Bookshelves, Bibles, CMT (Commentaries), DCT (Dictionaries). These pages change from time to time.

LENDING BOOKS

The following is an extract from a letter. “As one feeling much indebted to the good influence of books lent, allow me to say that believers might find ‘a more excellent way’ if, in a wise and loving manner, they lent their own books to those who are weak and uninstructed. I can but think of a dear Christian family at whose home my sister and I have often been taught the value and meaning of God’s blessed Word, and of the exceeding kindness with which, on leaving, we have often been loaded with reading, which, at home, deepened the impression of what we had heard. Books we have wished to read and were unable to purchase, or those we had never known of till introduced to them by those dear friends who acted in this as though they counted not the things they possessed their own. Indeed, God has so blessed such reading to us that it has taken away the taste for much that we used to find great pleasure in.”

“Even if a believer have but little means and yet wishes to help others in this way, it is wonderful how the Lord opens ways of doing so, for if everything is brought to the Lord, ‘There is much food in the tillage of the poor’ for others as well as for themselves, and ‘if the eye be single, the whole body shall be full of light.’ Perhaps the Lord may guide you to make some suggestion on the subject, for it is a way of serving the Master open to many. It pains my heart to see believers with well stored bookshelves unused for the Lord. I believe this is one way in which He is wounded in the house of His friends.”

We heartily commend the foregoing weighty words to the attention of our readers. May we all seek grace to act on them! It will, perhaps, be said that there is another side of the question to be considered. No doubt there is. Books, when lent, are often not returned at all or returned so soiled and mutilated as to be unfit to be seen. Hence, there is a word for the borrower as well as for the lender. Surely if grace should rule the conduct of the lender, righteousness at least should rule the conduct of the borrower. Still, fully admitting the carelessness of many who get the loan of books, we should be very sorry indeed if this admission were allowed to blunt the edge of the most excellent suggestion of our correspondent.

Partner with us in completing the Great Commission

Unlike others who only minister sitting at home in their pajamas, we are actually missionaries and a pastor of a local church in Mexico City. We ask that you consider that your donations to our ministry not only keeps up this website which ministers to people in many countries, but it also helps in our church planting and evangelism efforts in Mexico City. Moreover than just a pastor, a missionary, an evangelist, I am also writing my own books in English and Spanish (using the resources here) which is adding to the resources Latins have to use in their Bible studies and ministry. Many Bible Institutes in Africa, China, and wherever they speak English or Spanish are downloading and using our theWord library for the glory of God. Won't you partner with us as we minister to these people?
