After releasing the app for the popular 3-Minute Retreat, Loyola Press is now launching a new mobile application based on one of the most popular books called A Year of Grace-Filled Days: 2010.
The yearly updated edition of Loyola Press’s book is the leading title for the Jesuit-owned publishing company. The book offers concise daily meditations and Scripture readings that are based on the lectionary of the Church year. The book provides readers with valuable lessons for daily life.
The major reason Loyola Press is introducing this popular book as a mobile app is to assure that spirituality exists in today’s fast-paced life. “As a Jesuit ministry, Loyola Press strives to reach all people—whoever they are, wherever they are—with the message of God’s grace. A Year of Grace-Filled Days: 2010 is one more way we can reach increasingly busy people in an increasingly digital world,” says Paul Campbell, SJ, vice president of mission and identity at Loyola Press.
Besides the reflections, Scripture readings, and quotations from the readings, the application supports 30 different soundtracks of randomly selected background music and background images. These images change monthly and appealing color combinations change seasonally. The app also integrates a unique feature called the date button that allows users to access a standard date picker to instantly find any date in the whole year.
The A Year of Grace-Filled Days: 2010 mobile app delivers a new inspiration day from October 1, 2009 to December 31, 2010. The application always displays the current date when it is launched. Users can purchase the full version for $4.99, while the lite version is available for free. With the lite version, users can access seven different selections for 2009 as well as two musical background options. The full and the lite version of this app are available at the Apple App Store and the official website of Loyola Press.
