Absolutely incredible! My 8 year old sat at the computer for hours "touring" Jerusalem and viewing the animations. Ilumina brings the Bible to 'life' right on your screen. Using the New Living Translation combined with computer animation, the user feels as if they are literally standing and watching the action take place. The Bible study tools are numerous, giving the user many resources to pull from before pulling a commentary off the wall. As a christian Educator, I highly recommend this software become a part of your library.

You will get goosebumps when you walk through Jerusalem and you can turn in any direction you want or walk into buildings and look up and all around. Go straight to applicable bible verses. I'm making this a Christmas gift for friends and family. I actually got teary eyed when I saw the bible come to life. Very powerful. A beautiful and inspiring product. Thank you so much.

I am always skeptical to buy the first version of any new software product, but I was truly blown away by this product. It is as comprehensive as I have ever seen and the user interface is fun and easy to use. Not only are the computer animations terrific (my kids especially love them), I have found the ability to search and cross reference and look up encyclopedia articles of great value. In just three weeks of using this product, I feel it has really helped me get a better understanding of the greatest book ever written. I have never seen a software product that was so well suited for 4 year olds through 70 year olds - there really is something for everyone here. Strongly recommend this as a gift for christmas.

This program is a must for anyone who wants to learn more about the Bible. The virtual tours are great, and having such a huge amount of Bible-reference materials tied to every verse in the Bible is truly incredible. What a great resource! I have already been using it in preparing Sunday school lessons, personal study, and showing off for my friends and coworkers. A must-buy!

Using life-like animations iLumina offers an exciting fresh new way to live the Bible stories. With the virtual tours you can experience the Biblical times in ways never seen before. You can tour Jerusalem for hours, as if you were right there in the 1st Century. The great multimedia combined with the Study Bible, extensive Encyclopedia and Atlas make this a great value for the whole family.

I have run across a few factual errors, here is an exaple: I was going through the time line, and found that it says that John the apostle died in 6 BC, which is about a hundred years before he really died. I contacted the company, and they said that would be corrected in version 2.

The movie viewer, if you select full screen, it will revert back to small screen, after a while.

This is beautiful software of a video game quality with all the bells and whistles. But that's where it stops. While it is, however, not a game, it cannot really be considered software for serious study and research. It is a view only package dissallowing interconnective use with other programs (like word processors, etc.) But for purposes of personal entertainment and Bible Study on the P.C. it is a good product.

This is a wonderful tool for the serious Christian Educator. I absolutely love the detailed animation that allows you to interact with in the temple and other features. I presented this to the Sunday school staff at my church and they were simply awe-struck. Please bless your self and your ministry with this wonderful software.

A wonderful way to introduce neophytes to the Bible. 25 digitally animated stores with more for the downloading make stories come alive.

The timelines aid the understanding of what happened when, sometimes a difficult task while reading the Bible.

The Encyclopedia, with it's animations, virtual tours and articles provide a backdrop for Bible Study

After two days using the program, my desire to
read the Bible has been renewed. The detail, history,animation and interactiveness is breathtaking.
My family uses ilumina together in the evenings. It's wonderful.
