I adore all of the features listed above for several reasons. Mostly because it cuts down on having to have extra resources if I want to find a cross-reference or read a commentary on a particular subject. As I use this Bible, I am finding it easy to not only glean from the scriptures directly, but to also quickly find additional context and understanding using the tools provided on each and every page of this Bible. I appreciate the timeless truths that Alexander Maclaren penned years ago that a new generation of believers can easily and effectively learn from today. The Life Application notes and Christ Connections are an added bonus!
