worth the read!
This is an excellent, readable translation of the Bible. The articles bring out the essence of Orthodoxy, and give the reader an Orthodox perspective on the Holy Scriptures.

major formatting problems affects readability.
The text and note formatting for Psalms and other books make it almost unreadable. This should have been caught before releasing the kindle version.

A beautiful Bible that tells the story of the Christian Church, featuring amazing prayers for a traditional Christian. Explains a lot to a beginner Christian or Orthodox Christian, including the LXX version of the Old Testament and books that are not typically found in an average Protestant Bible.

It has the best translation, good explanation, lots of additional information and beautiful depictions.
I think it’s the most suitable Bible for new believers.
