  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 Blind of Maryland
  410-715-9596

  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?
