Scripture Study

Love to study the scriptures using the on line book by Thomas Valetta in my DB Library. The DB APP allows me to highlight, copy and paste commentary directly into my scriptures for future reference. The DB APP is a very stable and user friendly platform.

Updates are awesome

When I used it a few months ago it seemed to have tons of glitches. Not any more. It is really smooth.
