The German publisher Brunnen decided to release their excellent, modern translation "Hoffnung für Alle" (GerHfa2002) for use by the Sword community.

The text contains headings, footnotes, ... and can be downloaded here . This module is locked. If you want to use it, you can buy an unlock key for 22 € directly from Brunnen . CrossWire is not involved in the financial transaction and receives no share of the money.

We hope that in future, more publishers will make use of this possibility to distribute their copyrighted material for use with The SWORD Project.

This will ultimately increase the recent material available through The SWORD Project and help users with studying God's word. Stay tuned for more module updates soon!
