Mac - Downloading Books

In order to download your resources, download the app and log in to your account within the app. Once you have logged in, you will have access to your Library of books.

Downloading from the Library

We recommend downloading your books from the Library.

  • Select the Library icon.

  • Ensure you are on the 'Cloud' tab of the Library. Bibles and books that are not yet downloaded are dimmed with a download arrow. Select one of these cover images to initiate the download.

    Once downloaded, the cover image will be solid and you can select it to open the Bible or book in the main window. 

Please note that Study Bibles are downloaded as a bundle. For more information on using Study Bibles, please see this article.

Automatic Downloads

We offer an automatic download feature that is useful if you have a large library and do not wish to select each book to download it. 

From within the Library, select the Options icon in the upper right corner and select 'Library Settings'.

Toggle 'Automatically Download Books' on.

Your Library of books will now download automatically with the exception of audio books and audio Bibles.

Audio books are not automatically downloaded since the files are usually large. By default, audio is streamed, which requires an internet connection.

You can download audio books or sections of audio Bibles by locating the title in your Library and secondary clicking it (or hold 'Control' and click). Select 'Manage Download'. This will make the downloaded files available for offline listening. There is more detailed information about downloading audio in this help article.
