Hi Ronza,
No resource list is ever complete. I am sure Tom and others would look
forward to receiving any additional resources you and others send.

I think my point is that there were about a dozen Christian resources, one
Muslim resource, and no other resources from other faith traditions. In
other words, I don't think this list is comprehensive or inclusive "about
the faith of your choice."

Ronza,
Good idea. The APP says it has the Quran on it. If you would like to
give us a better description prease do.
Cordially,
Sharon Maneki, Director of Legislation and Advocacy National Federation of

The National Federation of the Blind of Maryland knows that blindness is
not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise
the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create
obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you
want; blindness is not what holds you back.

Interesting. FYI Muslim Pro is not a Bible app. Perhaps our affiliate
DEI Committee could expand this list beyond a bunch of Christian (and one
Muslim
app) resources?
