Amazon Vine™ Review
(What's this?)
Before I start my review I want to say two things. First off, I only give 5 star reviews to things that change my life. Second, although I was raised Catholic, I am more interested in Christianity from the academic point of view.
Glo is by far the most amazing Christian tool I have ever used. The artwork, maps, videos, etc that are linked to biblical scriptures brings the bible to life like nothing I have ever seen. Bible study groups will love the topical sections which is an encyclopedia of relevant scriptures. Students will love how easy it is to navigate and learn from the bible. Anyone who wants to learn more about Christianity will find Glo to be a valuable tool. I truly wish this was out during my Catholic School days.
Despite having a 5 start review, there are some things I would love to see added. A timeline that followed Christianity through the present time. A Christian Denomination option for an upgrade, or an add on (as an academic I would love to have links to different writings and additional texts of various denominations). Inclusion of scriptures that did not make the NIV Bible.
Overall I feel that by using the Glo software, you will see Christianity in a whole new light. Every person that I have shown this program to has gone out and bought it. That says something about the quality of this product.
(FYI I have a Mac and it worked with out any problems)

(What's this?)
I got this installed on my computer, and it was almost overwhelming how much data and information that is presented. An attempt is made to segregate it, but if you watch any of the company's videos, you'll see there's an overwhelming amount of data. It's all good mind, you and it's easy to get lost looking at pictures, seeing videos, watching trails.
It's a superb product, but I can easily see where some people might get overwhelmed. Still, if you dive into it, you're gonna experience the Bible in a completely new way. Not that this product is changing the word of God, but just presenting it in a new fashion. In this day and age of multimedia everything, and online that, and Twitter this... It's kind of inevitable that a multimedia bible like this would exist.
One issue though. Installation takes awhile if you want to put everything on your hard drive. There are three DVD's in the package, and the default installation just goes from Disc 1. That's not too bad. But if you want to do the "full" installation, it took me about an hour to install all the data from the other two DVD,s which is pretty slow for a disc based install. I've installed multi disc programs before, and they haven't taken anywhere near that amount of time. Once it was all installed, the C:\ProgramData\Glo directory on my Windows 7 machine had a total of 10.8Gb of data, and a whopping 351,892 files! Wow.

You really get a lot for your money in this software package! This is a highly innovative and fun way to learn more about your Bible. So many maps, photos, videos and articles accessible instantly and seamlessly. I can completely understand why this was winner of the 2010 Bible of the Year! A truly amazing way to study and understand the Bible.
It was a lengthy install, but there's a lot of information! I have a Mac and was concerned it would not accept it, but I had no problems. This program is so vast I've yet to really explore it to it's full capacity, but so far I like what I've experienced. It is very intuitive and I've learned so much by the maps, photos, videos, timelines, etc. I love the different versions of the Bible, the ease of the program, and the fact that there is so much information! I am learning so much I hadn't considered before!
I highly recommend this product for anyone who wants to understand their Bible more deeply. This is an amazing resource and it can also go on my iphone and ipad! You will love this and it really is a great deal for this price!
