once you get pass the installation process and update it to Libronix Library, you have a good bible software program with a decent library. Nelson did come out with a newer version but the included books are a bit different, the older version has a better line up.

When I bought this product, I was not sure it will work in my Win XP, for it said 'run under 'Win 3.1, 95, 98, 00'. Further I didn't know whether it will be integrated to my existing Libronix.

It works perfectly well in my Windows XP system and Libronix. In the reviews in christianbook.com, there is some complaint that it does not work in XP, but it's not the case for me. The official response from nelson seems to be 'no support for XP', but anyway it works in my case, and it has such a nice collection including classics like Confession, Imitation of Jesus and so on. I had only one version of bible in my Libronix 2.1 version (KJV), and through this collection now I have NRSV, NLT. Lots of good study references. (In my personal opinion, it's same or better than E-bible standard in content).

Although it is desinged for Logos Library System, old system of Libronix, it works perfectly well in my Libronix. I linked IVP New Bible Commentary (IVP collectoin) and this NLT version (Nelson collection), and it worked. Well spent money.

Only weak point : No 'offcial support' for XP from Nelson. No upgrade, maybe (Classics don't need upgrade, huh).

This CD-ROM is one of the best I have used. I recommend this to anyone who is serious about bible study. The price for all that you get is wonderful. The program downloads easily and if you have any problems, The Nelson website and Microsoft website are very helpful. I am very happy with my purchase.

The review is good it has everything that a student of the Bible would need. The bible study material is great it helps me to understand words and phrases that at one time was hard for me to understand. Now along with these helps it has made the Word of God more alive to me.

This product has been indispensible to my household. It makes it so easy to copy and paste relevant scriptures in our writings. We prefer this 2002 copyrighted edition to the more recent one because it does not require us to be connected to the internet to use it. The two computers I use to write are not connected to the internet due to past virus experiences. We were blessed to find these 2002 editions still available. The original CD I've had for years finally wore out. When I located these, I purchased 3 of them.
