Usefulnes - 5, build quality - 4, print quality - 2 September 17, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
As stated by others - this is a great study help. It uses the Word itself to define the Scriptures verse-by-verse.
If you truly want to understand God's Word, this is the tool.
If you are looking for easy answers - somebody else's thoughts - then look elsewhere.
I give the book a full 5 stars for usefulness. Used correctly, this is one of the best tools for detailed Scriptural study I have ever come across.
For "build" quality I give it 4 stars. It feels sturdy. The pages are bright, easy to grasp/turn, prevent bleed-through and appear to be adhering well to the binding. It was printed in the US and it shows.
My only complaint is with the print itself. It looks like a second/third generation copy of a copy. This renders some text too light and some overly dark. Also, the spacing between letters and words is too narrow. This alone makes it almost unbearable to look at for too long. The font size is okay for the majority of the text, but notes at the beginning of each chapter are small.
Add small, narrow spacing, washed-out and the copy-of-a-copy print issues together and some may have a hard time reading a lot of the pages.
If you have good eyesight and are looking to study in great detail... by all means, get a copy of this book.
Got failing eyesight? Seek another edition or an equivalent competitor. Even with a magnifying glass this could lead to headaches and eye fatigue.

This book is potentially of great value to serious Bible students, but I couldn't read it, even with a magnifying lens. At such a reasonable price, it's not worth the cost of sending it back, so I'm keeping it for now, but may one day pass it on to someone with excellent vision!
very confusing and overwhelming August 25, 2007

I thought this would be a good, easy to use reference book. I was wrong! I still don't know how to use it and dread opening it. I much prefer my concordance. This book just seems to take me in endless circles and I do not enjoy using it.

3 out of 4 found this review helpful
This book was recommended to me by a serious Bible student and I find that it is written for the in depth pursuit of topical subjects in detail.
If you are a serious "in depth" student by all means add this to your library
if not I doubt you would use it much.
