Newsweek calls our founder, John W.
Ellis, M.D., the "pioneer of CD-ROM Bible study." In November 1988, at COMDEX,
Las Vegas, Dr. Ellis was one of four keynote speakers on the future of CD-ROM sales. He
has been featured on several radio and television programs. Numerous press articles have
been written about the company and The Bible Library Ô in Popular Science, Omni, Newsweek, Christianity
Today, Christian Computing, and many others.
In June 1988, Ellis Enterprises, Inc. introduced the first electronic
compilation of multiple Bibles and reference texts, The Bible Library
CD-ROMÔ,

historic first in Bible study and translation occurred when Ellis Enterprises commissioned
Stanley Morris, Th.D., International Bible Translators, Inc. to prepare new Bible
translations linking Strong's Numbers to the Hebrew and Greek texts thus allowing lay
persons to easily study the Bible in the original languages!
The Bible LibraryÔ Version 1.0, received the Christian
Computing Magazine's 1994 Reader's Choice Award for Best CD-ROM Collection. The disc
sold worldwide through BestBuy, DAK, Radio Shack, SAM’S, SONY, SoftWare Toolworks,

LibraryÔ from 1993 to
