GoBible will release two new products this month and launch a new section on its Web site for downloadable products.

The GoBible Traveler is a lightweight, hand-held portable device preloaded with the entire audio version of the Bible, featuring more than 70 hours of material. The GoBible Traveler is offered in English in either the King James Version--narrated by Alexander Scourby--or the New International Version, read by Charles Taylor.

The Spanish GoBible Viajero, which retails for $59.95 like the GoBible Traveler, is offered in the Nueva Versión Internacional translation and is narrated by Rafael Cruz.

The GoBible Web site allows users to download the entire Bible by Old or New Testament and individual books of the Bible as well as biblical stories. Popular scripture verses can also be downloaded for ringtones.

The GoBible--a portable, self-contained MP3 audio Bible--saw sales growth of 70% in 2008, totaling 50,000 units, in its second full year of release, company officials said. Andrew Block, president of GoBible, said the convenience of the device was the key to its success.
