My Sword & Shield is a freely available, ad-free, and feature-rich King James Bible app that is designed to build your faith in Jesus Christ as the savior of the world and to significantly enhance your Bible study experience! My Sword and Shield also promotes and defends the King James Bible as the word of God for English speakers. It does so by providing you with a growing database of the major changes in modern Bible versions in comparison to the KJV. All Bibles do not say the same thing and often say opposing things. This means that it matters which Bible you use!
