I have seen it in other bible study applications. Im not programmer savvy but You basically can hit a randomizer button that will generate a random bible verse. Not sure how else to explain it, but do ya get the gist?

If I am not mistaken tGWatch is referring to the program startup, so that TW will display a random verse in the Bible View each time it starts up. Is that right?

OK, i see it now.
Honestly, i am not very sure for the usefulness of it (although it's very easy to do).
Others?

I understand a function is meant like Wikipedia's Random article. One might say that you can get your attention drawn to some verse you otherwise wouldn't have seen, but in my opinion it's just some fun-browsing, which I don't think useful for a Bible study application.

It was just a suggestion is all. Its nice to just pick something random after doing the heavy duty stuff. I equate it to pickin up a Bible and just flipping it open and start reading whatever page you fall on. It's not the most in depth study of course, but its nice after the in depth stuff.

eSword has this option for random verse startup.
I wish Costas would add this as an OPTION for those who like it.
It would act as a verse Memorizer also.
Thanks
