Full description
Scripture, in thousands of languages. Hosanna lets you hear, see, and engage with God’s Word anytime, anywhere. No subscriptions, no paywalls, and no third-party ads. Just completely free access to a global collection of Bible translations and stunning word-for-word Scripture films. Find the Bible in the language and format that feels natural to you. God’s Word goes with you. Stream the Bible online or connect and download a full Bible or just the books you need. Choose your sound quality and decide whether background audio is included. In Offline Mode, you can keep using Hosanna while saving data. Once content is downloaded, it stays available offline. Many of the digital Bibles in the Hosanna app include both text and audio, so you can read and listen at the same time. In most languages, the text follows along as the recording plays, so you can stay engaged with each chapter. Hosanna’s growing library of video content includes cinematic Bible films. See vibrant and accurate portrayals of Bible landscapes. Watch the narratives unfold in pure Scripture. All films are drawn from the same collection of translations available throughout the app. The Bibles you engage with are added to your personal collection automatically, making them easy return to again and again. Organize your collection by most used or recently played and pick up where you left off. Hosanna makes navigating God’s Word simple and enjoyable. Search by book and chapter or words and phrases to locate specific verses. Within each chapter, read, listen, and watch where video is available, and move easily between sections. The listening experience is customizable. Play, pause, skip forward or back, adjust playback speed, and move between chapters. Adjust text settings such as font size, light or dark themes, and footnotes to match your preferences. A minimized player stays with you as you move through the app, so you can keep listening while you explore. You do not need an account to use Hosanna. Read, listen, watch, and download many Bibles without signing in. Creating a free account gives you access to a few additional downloads and the option to receive updates, such as our newsletter, if you choose. Hosanna is built by Faith Comes By Hearing, a nonprofit ministry founded in 1972 that works in partnership to record and freely provide God’s Word in every language that needs it. Every Bible in this app advances that mission. At home, traveling, offline, or sharing Scripture with others, Hosanna is ready when you are. Download and experience God’s Word in your language today.
