The On-Screen Bible (OSB) in Faithlife Proclaim displays an animated slide turning to the reference you provide. The animation visually engages your audience and keeps the verse in biblical context. You can add the OSB to your order of service or insert it into your presentation live with the OSB Quick Screen.
Note:To use the On-Screen Bible, you must have an internet connection. If you don’t have an internet connection, you can still add verses to your presentation while On Air with Logos Bible Software.
