3.0 out of 5 stars Un-reliable Program, April 15, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Bible Library Suite (CD-ROM)

At first the product was very easy to use, and had many great features. Unfortunately over time one of the main features I enjoy (verse notes) began to "break down". The first symptom was the disappearance of any capability to enter notes on the book of James. Then I started losing notes on multiple books. It is very annoying. I've spent many hours using the software and it is frustrating to lose hours worth of work on notes. I've pretty much stopped using the program, except to look up verses in a hurry. I've backed up all my note files to a separate directory for use in word processing program instead. Unfortunately I can no longer look at notes regarding specific verses all in the same program. Overall, I am very disappointed, no matter how much or how little the software costs.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not the best by far., June 19, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Bible Library Suite (CD-ROM)

This Software only contains on of the three bibles people normally use. (KJV) the NIV and the NASB are not in this soft ware. I was very disappointed with this software. Not worth the money I spent.

3.0 out of 5 stars I'm a beginner..., November 29, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Bible Library Suite (CD-ROM)

Although I'm a beginner, I have researched which bible is most used today. The church I started to attend uses the NIV which isn't included in this software. I bought this software with the intentions of learning more about the bible and, most important for a beginner, picking a bible that's right for me. This software is only good if you want to see translations of bibles not significantly used, if at all, today. There was an interesting section called Chronology of Biblical Christainity which itself is interesting, but to the beginner it was quite overwhelming. It would have been more comprehendible if it had been sectioned off into denominations. (Ex. the history of Lutheranism (sp?), Calvinism, Methodism, etc). It wasn't a bad feature though. There is also a link where you can "Upgrade" to a better version. The upgraded version I believe includes the NRSV, NASB, NKJ, and NAB-with Apocrypha along with a few other features. It seems to me that this version was to get me to buy it so I could spend another $40 and upgrade to the translations in use today. Although it did list on the product before I bought it what versions were included; a beginner isn't going to know that the KJV or the ASV, aren't too popular these days. I already have the NKJ version so if I upgraded it would only be for the NRSV, NASB and NAB. My recommendations to the manufacturer is to include the most used versions today and not require us to upgrade to get them. I probably won't upgrade simply because I don't want to spend more money.
