Books of Apocrypha
Many claim the apocrypha should never have been included in the first place, raising doubt about its validity and believing it was not God-inspired (for instance, a reference about magic seems inconsistent with the rest of the Bible: Tobit chapter 6, verses 5-8). Others believe it is valid and that it should never have been removed- that it was considered part of the Bible for nearly 2,000 years before it was recently removed a little more than 100 years ago. Some say it was removed because of not finding the books in the original Hebrew manuscripts. Others claim it wasn't removed by the church, but by printers to cut costs in distributing Bibles in the United States. Both sides tend to cite the same verses that warn against adding or subtracting from the Bible: Revelation 22:18. The word 'apocrypha' means 'hidden.' Fragments of Dead Sea Scrolls dating back to before 70 A.D. contained parts of the apocrypha books in Hebrew, including Sirach and Tobit [source].
Keep this in mind when reading the following apocryphal books. Martin Luther said, "Apocrypha--that is, books which are not regarded as equal to the holy Scriptures, and yet are profitable and good to read."

No search function. Very large size for an app (in MBs). Ads will at times fill the entire screen and play rap music. So distracting for study. I deleted it immediately.
Try and study the word with forceful ads terrible app
Ful- screen ads - that count down, nonetheless - are way over the top!
Ads scroll at the bottom. Distracting! Uninstalled.
IT'S A GOOD APPLICATION NEEDS UPDATED INFO BUT OTHER THAN THAT IT'S OK 2,USE IN GROUP MEETINGS AND GATHERINGS AS WELL
Most interesting, it makes me wonder why the Council of Nicea left these books out of the Holy Bible.
I love it. I can take it with me everywhere and study at any time. Thanks y'all.
Can't get past the ads to see any content!
It's a nice book but I think it should be in audio also.
Immediately hit with advertising. Uninstalled.
I intend to use this offline,i appreciate in anticipation if it does work that way
It doesn't have the Father name and the Son the Father name is Yawuwah and the Son name is Yauwshuwah I'm looking for a real King James Bible where the Father and the Son all the Hebrews name where belong back in the Bible
Great to have additional scriptural insights.
Can not copy and share a scripture with someone
its a beautiful book
Fools of your nature only fool their young ones .
.books of apocrapha
It motivate me
I think when your done reading a page you should be Abel to flip the page like other bible apps instead of having to all the time going to the concordance where you have to pick the chapter you that gets to be annoying after awhile. Because you have to remember what chapter is next. If you could flip the page you wouldn't have to remember the chapter it would show you when you flip the page. And I wish this app had a screen stay on feature like other bible apps have. This app needs improvement.
Search bar is needed but it does push me to read. I eventually find what I'm looking for.
Very important book! Has alot stuff not mention in the Bible. This is why CC found the so called Americas.

Too many ads!!!!! I uninstalled, as starting a few weeks or maybe months ago everytime I opened it, here comes an ad that I cannot bypass until it's done. So annoying!! especially when trying to get to a scripture quickly in class.
