I’ll agree with the last post. The readings are very easy to listen S one lays to sleep.Then the chapter can be interpreted the next day. We ‘re fortunate to have the IPhone .
The extra books not in the cannon are very important because it adds information not found in the Bible. An example is the Book of Enoch . Thank you from the heart.

Many KJV Onlyists are unaware that the Deuterocanon remained in King James Bibles for centuries and was not officially removed until 1885 by the Archbishop of Canterbury. Not only did the King James Bible include the Deuterocanon, but it also included numerous references to it in the margins (of books considered canonical) treating it the same as other Scripture:

● Matt. 6:7 references Ecclesiasticus 7:14

● Matt. 23:37 references 2 Esdras 1:30

● Matt. 27:43 references Wisdom 2:15-16

● Luke 6:31 references Tobit 4:16

● Luke 14:13 references Tobit 4:7

● John 10:22 references 1 Maccabees 4:59

● Rom. 9:21 references Wisdom 15:7

● Rom. 11:34 references Wisdom 9:13

● 2Cor. 9:7 references Ecclesiasticus 35:9

● Heb. 1:3 references Wisdom 7:26

● Heb. 11:35 references 2 Maccabees 7:7

"The Onlyists claim, ‘The King James translators knew the Deuterocanon was not scripture, so they placed it BETWEEN the Old and New Testament...’ (James L. Melton, “Fables And Facts About The King James Bible”, Bible Baptist Church: Sharon, TN, 1996).

But if they knew it was not Scripture, then why include it at all? And if there was nothing wrong with it, why take it out later? In contrast, most of the modern versions (NIV, NKJV, RSV, etc) criticized by the KJV-Onlyists do not contain the Deuterocanon at all... and never did!”

There is no widely-accepted reason for the removal of the Deuterocanon in the 1880s that has ever been officially issued by a mainline Protestant denomination.” (English Bible History).

The original 1611 King James contained the Apocrypha, and King James threatened anyone who dared to print the Bible without the Apocrypha with heavy fines and a year in jail. The books which are in the KJV Apocrypha are:

Prayer of Manasseh (MAN) - Esdras (1ES) - Tobit (TOB) - Judith (JDT) - additions to Esther (ESG) - Wisdom of Solomon (WIS) - Sirach (SIR) - Baruch (BAR) - Letter of Jeremiah (LJE) - additions to Daniel (S3Y, BEL & SUS)

Up until the 1880s every Protestant Bible (not just Catholic Bibles) had 80 books, not 66! The Inter-testamental books written hundreds of years before Christ called “The Apocrypha” were part of virtually every printing of the Tyndale-Matthews Bible, the Great Bible, the Bishops Bible, the Protestant Geneva Bible, and the King James Bible ... until their removal in the 1880s!
