I hate to give a bad review to a Bible but you cannot access the chapters and verses in this Bible. You have to go to page one of each book in it and page through to go where you want to read. I just want people to know so they do not waste their money like I did.

The very translation is really readable and easily understandable. However, there are a great deal of text mistakes, letters are missing, looks like awful file conversion from another type of format. Please, fix it. At first I thought of getting a refund, but later decided to endure those plentiful mistakes hoping that the team will fix them. Those are mistakes of formating, not translation from the Greek. Please fix them. I count on you, and then I will give you five+ stars.

Wanna be able to truly read and understand The Bible? This is what did it for me....and it's changing my life! A few grammar/spelling/punctuation errors and the chapters and verses are not marked...so if u wanna quote where certain scripture resides...it's not like that--but it's in easy-to-understand English and a traditional-story format and it's helped The Holy Scripture to sink in faster than ever. A real Blessing!!
