So That’s Why! Bible with Libronix Library Review

002423: NKJV So That I bought this Bible for my son, but I’ll wait to give it to him. I want to read it first!

Right now Christianbook.com is selling the So That’s Why! Bible  for $8.99. For the price, I didn’t think I could go wrong, and I didn’t. The Libronix Bible CD alone is worth the money.

This chronological NKJV Bible is full of notes and articles that give insight into the historical context of biblical events. It has timelines, maps, and the notes are about everything from agriculture to economics, geography to science.

One caveat about the timelines is the comparison of secular history to biblical history. I don’t like those labels, but I understand the context. The first timeline places creation somewhere before 2500 B.C., and the secular side begins with stone tools c. 26,000 B.C. It is interesting to compare the two, so I do not discredit this resource because of that issue.

Also, I recommend covering the Bible with contact paper. It is a large volume, and the cover doesn’t feel sturdy enough to withstand a lot of use.

The eBible CD is amazing. The Libronix Digital Library System enables numerous Bible resources to be searched at the same time. The library includes:

  • Various Bible translations
  • New Strong’s Dictionary of Hebrew and Greek Words
  • Nelson’s New Illustrated Bible Dictionary
  • Nelson’s Complete Book of Bible Maps and Charts
  • Where to Find It in the Bible A-Z

The charts and maps can be printed for notebooks. Topical studies can be completed easily. I look forward to discovering even more about my favorite book, the Bible!

    I’m sold! Thanks so much for sharing about this – I am just about to place an order with CBD so I am adding this to my cart.
    A couple things to share while on the subject:
    1. I don’t know if you are familiar with the Oregon Trail computer game – I grew up playing it – but the latest version that is combined with Liberty Kids American Revolution game and a few other things that I can’t remember right now is only $8 on a CBD WOW! special price right now.
    2. If you type in the keywords ‘CBD coupon code’ in a Google search you will find sites offering coupon codes you can use for free shipping on your order!

    Summer,
    Hmm…It still shows the price as $8.99 to me, but I think I saw it listed in a sales catalog once. Get the best price you can! :)

    Mandi,
    I hope you enjoy it. The CD is great! It whets my appetite for The Christian History Library.

    I do look for coupon codes online. Frugal minds think alike! :) However, I don’t use them for CBD, because it voids my affiliate commission which usually covers shipping anyway. I’ll keep it in mind for smaller orders though.

    And thanks for letting me know about the game. It’s on the top sellers list now, so word must be getting around. ;)
