This was invaluable in my Bible Study Class. We were reading Acts, and I used the atlas to trace St. Paul's travels as he preaced all around the middle east. I can see it will be great next year as we study the Pentateuch too! Another member of the study bought a $50.00 atlas; it is too cumbersome to bring to class, and this soft cover is just right! It is great for me, and if you want to follow travels discussed in the Bible, this is perfect for you too!
