Reviews

[Loretta · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is exactly what it claims to be; a quick, Bible concordance geared toward the everyday reader, who need some clarification. Instead of intimidating and confusing words and meanings, this one trims the fat. It pulls together about 1,800 key Bible terms with roughly 10,000 Scripture references that matter most for basic Bible reading and study.

It's consistent with the King James version, lightweight to carry for reference, and gives the highlights. That can be a hinderance, but at the same time, no carrying around massive volumes to figure out the meaning(s). It's simple and helpful when joining study groups.

Why the three stars? It's more of a reference when I thought would be more explanations of specific words and passages. It's still a good reference to help find extra explanations.
