Thankyou for the reference to these tools.  I'm not a preacher, but if I were one I would think I would be alot happier if I had the Bible Explorer tool.  Wow, what great sources of information can be had through this format.  I found the Bible maps and pictures books especially interesting, but the characters of the Bible book is really fascinating, too.  The books are extensively inclusive and comprehensive, if not exhaustive, but are FAR more thorough in content than I expected.  Indeed these books are useful for the most in-depth of biblical study, and I look forward to referencing them in the future.  I am also happy to see that a copy of the American Standard Bible was available for download as this is my favorite version of the Bible, even though I read the New International version, primarily.  Thankyou once again for helping me find this great Bible tool!
