Your Amazon Echo can play music, check the weather, and even order a pizza... but now it can do something much more important: read the Bible. With the Faithlife Skill, your Echo can read Bible verses, daily devotionals, prayers, and more.

If you link your Faithlife account, you can also ask:
It will even answer some trivia questions, such as: "Who were the apostles?", "What are the fruits of the spirit?", "What is the Lord's prayer?", and "What is the apostles' creed?"
This project was developed during one of our company hackathons and we're excited to release it today! What else would you like to see this skill do for you?

I'm sorry, Donnie, I'm afraid I can't do that.
This is a wonderful "skill". Thank you!
The Alexa page really doesn't document everything you mentioned above. A list of all the commands would be advantageous.
Currently it only mentions
Sure, would you like me to go ahead and preach it for you too...oh, by the way, any fries with that? Now get to work and stop playing!
Cool!
Alexa, at what age did Paul the Apostle convert or accept Jesus as His Savior?(long pause)
"Alexa, ask Faithlife for Help" to get some ideas on what you can ask.
What would you like to be able to ask Alexa, or type into the Command Bar, or ask Cortana, about the Bible, Logos.com, your Faithlife account, your church, etc.? Feel free to post your ideas or example conversations here.
Here are some of my ideas:
Here is my list, incomplete

A handicapped friend of mine suggested it would be nice to be able to use his voice to ask cortana to do searches, and have cortana read those same searches back... EGCortana: read book:ch:vsCortana: Search for xxx within xx words of xxxCortana: open (book title) and read. I think there is some read aloud functionality now yes? Its not something I generally use... But for him bible study is a struggle as reading is for him a struggle. He seems to want to be able to control Logos from a headset by commanding cortana. Maybe what he really wants is "Logosana". haha

i love this! But I can't seem to get Alexa to read from my preferred bible (ESV). it is. Set to ESV on all my iOS devices, what else is there to do?
thanks!

Read "Title of Book" and have it read where I last left off.
Look up "Word" and have it return the entry of the word in your top most Bible dictionary.
Do a Word Study on "Word" and have it return the entry from a lexical entry for the word.
How many times does Grace appear in Romans?
Just a few thoughts.

Can't locate the alexa skill either using the website or the app.
Does it still exist? I'm in the UK, does that make a difference? (There are hundreds of other skills available, just not Faithlife)
Thanks.
It still exists and should be live, not sure why it's not appearing for you. I'll have a look.

Found the problem, the skill was not enabled for UK distribution. I have enabled that and submitted it for certification, it should be available soon.
Many thanks, Dustin.
Amazon has approved the skill for distribution in the UK.
Does Cortana currently work with Logos 7?
