I thought I would try the e-version of this Bible, so I have a good study Bible on the go.   I have to say I was truly impressed with it.    I was impressed with the charts, the "dig deep look close" which takes you into a deeper study of topics such as fasting in the Bible.    The illustrations are very detailed, and have a great description.

What I truly enjoyed was the key concepts at the beginning of each chapter, and in the kindle version, all you have to do is tap the cross references, and it takes you right there.    All in all a great tool to work with. 

The print was easy to read, the only thing I had a hard time with was the charts were hard to read on the kindle version.  

 I received this book free from the publisher. I was not required to write a positive review and the opinions I have expressed are my own.
