Bible Map by Google ... screen capture with a Mac

My first attempt at doing a screen capture. Verdict - Mac has a nicer feel than normal PC mainly because you can select what you want with the Command-Shift-4 key. So there is no need to edit. Can post straight away unless you want to resize it.

Other half pointed me to this site: http://www.biblemap.org/
Basically what it does is when you pick a book in the Bible and the chapter, all those places mentioned in that particular chapter of the book will be highlighted. Kinda nice cos it brings those places to life for those studying the Bible.

And with Bible Map which is created with Google Map, there are actually more to those places where you can see more than just their locations. But more importantly this little service created by HeLives Ministry helps bring the study of the Bible more alive cos it shows us those places.... cos when we read and don't know, sometimes these places with strange sounding names can actually sound fictitious. It's like giving a face to a name thing. My screen capture is just to illustrate.

For those taking Bible Knowledge for SPM, there is the Event section where Paul's 1st to 3rd missionary journeys are detailed. Quite interesting. I think it will definitely be helpful.

It's still in Beta version but with the little that I've tried out on the BibleMap, I've this to say.....kudos to those of you who came out with this tool. God bless you for your effort!
