Four hundred years ago, the King James Version Bible, the first English Bible in the common language of the people, was published. To commemorate this significant anniversary, YouVersion.com will “roll out events and opportunities that will help you more easily access, engage and share the Bible. The first of these events is that Bible App™ users will be able to download the New International Version (NIV) of the Bible.”

This offer began February 12th and will last for 400 hours, ending on March 1, at 12:00 PM noon EST (or GMT-5). This free download is available for your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Android device and makes a Bible directly available on your phone, instead of requiring a connection to an internet site.

Learn about the next event: reading the entire Bible in 400 seconds on May 2nd.
