There was a time when Werle carried her leather-bound and dog-eared Bible everywhere she went, scribbling in the margins as she read. These days she accesses the Word and makes her notes on her iPod Touch.

“It’s nice to have a portable and easily accessible copy with you when you’re out and about,” said Werle, who attends the non-denominational New Day Church in Greendale, Wis. “You never know when you might get into a discussion with a friend about what it does or doesn’t say, or run into someone who has questions.”

Werle is among the millions who have turned to hand held technology to further their faith and spirituality. Software developers have obliged, creating hundreds of applications for smart phones and other mobile devices that do everything from translating ancient texts to alerting a user when it’s time to pray.
