About E-Truth — your free, ad-free online Bible app

Hello — I’m Willie Pietersen, the developer of E-Truth. By day I work as an electrical engineering technician; by night, I build and maintain this app. I’m also a husband and a father of three — living in South Africa.

I believe in the Trinity of our God, The Father (Elohim Jehovah), the Son Yeshua and the Holy Spirit - Ruach HaKodesh.

I am also a person who respects different people's views about the Scriptures, and when you give a comment on one of the articles, please respect other people's views too, so let your comments always be in love. As you saw, I pronounce the Son as Yeshua, but I surely will respect it if you prefer to say Jesus.

Why I Built E-Truth

Many Bible apps today are filled with adverts, pop-ups, or paid features. I wanted something different — something simple, genuine, and respectful. E-Truth is built around three core principles:

1. Free - with no ads, no subscriptions, no hidden costs

E-Truth gives you full access to the Bible with zero advertising and no premium upgrades. Nothing stands between you and the Scriptures.

2. A private, personalised Bible experience

Your account is your own personal study space. You can:

• Highlight verses using your own colour system
• Add notes at verse, chapter, or book level
• Link verses to each other for deeper study
• Track your reading without anyone else seeing your activity
• Everything is yours alone — nothing is shared publicly, except if it is otherwise informed.

3. Respectful and inclusive for all believers

I personally use “Yeshua” when referring to the Son, but I fully respect those who prefer “Jesus.”

E-Truth exists to build unity, not debate. Over time, brothers and sisters in Christ have offered feedback that has shaped the app, and I am deeply grateful for that.

Current Bible Version & Future Plans

At the moment, E-Truth includes the King James Version (KJV). This is due to copyright restrictions and the cost of licensing modern translations, which can be very high.

However, I plan to add more translations in the future — including South African languages — as permissions and resources allow.

I may also add the Apocrypha in a separate section for those who want to study it.

A Personal Calling

E-Truth is not a company or a business — it is simply my offering to my Heavenly Father and to anyone who loves His Word. I build it alone (with some help from family and friends), so new features may take time, but the goal remains the same:

To give every person a peaceful, ad-free place to read, study, and grow in truth.

I hope E-Truth blesses you the way it has blessed me while creating it.

Thank you for being here.

Kind regards,
Willie
