Revell, a division of Baker Publishing Group, has launched its first mobile app created in partnership with best-selling Amish fiction author Suzanne Woods Fisher.

The free Amish Wisdom app is available for all Apple products, providing a daily proverb drawn from the Pennsylvania-Dutch tradition.

"Whenever I posted Amish proverbs and sayings on my social media outlets, there was always a huge response," said Fisher, whose Revell book, Amish Proverbs, an Evangelical Christian Publishers Association 2011 Book of the Year finalist, will be re-released in paperback in October. "People wanted more. It seemed as if an app of daily Amish proverbs would be a fun and creative way to connect with readers and provide what they have been asking for. Everybody seems to love those pithy sayings of wit and wisdom. They're timeless."

The app will also allow users to listen to archived podcasts from Fisher's weekly "Amish Wisdom" radio program.

Meanwhile, Logos Bible Software has improved its free Bible app, offering customizable reading plans, Community Notes, split-screen viewing and more media.

"This mobile app lets you access a massive library of digital resources and study tools," said Logos President and CEO Bob Pritchett. "No matter where you go, your library and study notes are with you."
