jmvann 0 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Hi. I am using Evernote to record insights that arise during Bible study. Ideally, i would have a notebook called "Bible". Then, I would create a note for each book of the Bible. I would use those notes to record thoughts on individual verses for example if I had something on John 3:16 I would open the John note, type 3:16 and record the thought. At this point I need some way to reference this specific section in the note with a tag (or something like that) with "Love". This would allow me to search across my "Bible" notebook for "Love" aand retrieve the verses I have notes on for this subject. If anyone has advice I would appreciate any help! Link to comment
Level 5 jbenson2 2,147 Posted October 15, 2014 Level 5 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Putting an entire book of the bible into a single note in Evernote will make searching tedious and cumbersome. I would recommend software or app specifically designed for bible study. Link to comment
Level 5* JMichaelTX 4,115 Posted October 15, 2014 Level 5* Share Posted October 15, 2014 I think you might find it more useful, and easier to search, if instead of creating one Note for each Book, to create a Tag for each Book. Then, each time you have new thoughts to record about the Book, create a new Note, assign the Tag for the Book, and additional Tags as needed that might cut across multiple Books. So, "John" and "Love" would become Tags. You could also use a naming convention for each Note Title, like Chapter:Verse -- Description. For example, "03:16 -- God's Love" I would zero-fill both the Chapter and the Verse so that the Notes will sort properly by Title. For example, "04:02". Of course, you can extent this naming convention to suit your needs:The entire chapter: "03: -- <your description>"The reason I include the colon (":") is so that you can search for chapters easierVerse range: "03:01 - 03:10 -- <your description>"You might also name the Tags for your books with a "OT." or "NT." prefix, like "NT.John"This would let you easily search for all books in a particular testament, as in:Search box: tag:NT.* There are many ways to organize your Notes.I hope this gives you some ideas.Whatever method you choose, start slow, create a few Notes, and do some searches to make sure things are working as you expect.
