Love every minute of it!!!

1611 type

Actually the original 1611 was in Gothic Blackletter type in the first edition then the switch was made to Roman type. The former translations and English writings in general were already in Roman type before 1611. I have a KJV blackletter edition and read it through a few times which I thought was an amazing and fun challenge as a reader. A great experience. I went back to Roman type eventually.

Life Changing!

I take this Bible like medicine- reading it out loud every day. Its effects are miraculous and life changing. I read it out loud because of Dr. Mike Murdock’s instruction because “Faith Cometh By Hearing and Hearing By The Word Of God.” I am building my faith with this Bible.

Too Many Advertisements

This app has internal advertisements everywhere you look when attempting to read scripture. It’s ridiculous. Then there is an advertisement for a Bible game in the application that leads/ entices you to gamble! Wow! Diabolical! Horrible application to read the Bible!

It also uses the 'thorn' character, represented by 'y' with an 'e' above it, meaning 'the'.
