I am excited to announce the release of WIJC, the iPhone Companion App for my book Who is Jesus Christ? Unlocking the Mystery in the Gospel of Matthew.

My book revolves around the titles given to Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew, contemplating each one in the context of Matthew as well as all of Scripture and the Catholic Tradition. There are 25 different names or titles given to Jesus in Matthew’s Gospel, and some are used over 20 different times. So, if you want to read all the Scriptural passages with each title while reading my book, you have a lot of flipping and searching to do.

That is where the WIJC App comes in. It contains the Biblical verse for each instance of every title, categorized by the chapters of the book. So if you are reading the chapter on the title “Son of Man”, you can simply select that title in the App and easily read all the relevant Scriptural passages.

Here are a couple of screen shots from the App:

The App also contains the Foreword and Introduction to my book, as well as the complete first chapter (which cannot be found anywhere else outside of the book). So if you haven’t yet purchased my book, download the App to get a taste for the book.

And the best part is that WIJC is free! I created this App to help readers to dive deeper into Scripture and encounter Christ there more fully, and I hope it helps to do that. But feel free to email me with any comments or suggestions for improvements for the App.

WIJC is compatible with the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad. You can download it from the Apple App Store or from here.
