"Cruden's Compact Concordance" is a must own for those seeking to be genuine scripture scholars. It is small, user-friendly and easy to grab for quick word hunting. Just about all verses listing the particular desired word are presented as well as footnoted related ones for probing a possible better connection--extremely helpful if you are reading another Bible version. Most every day this book lands in my hand as I often need a verse and can't remember where to find it.

Spy glasses might be necessitated for investigating the minuscule print, but this is the only drawback to this slim lining assist.

My favorite recommended books are those that get people into the holy, immutable and inerrant Word. I also suggest the purchase of "Unger's Bible Dictionary" as an added comprehensive studious guide.

I'm not crazy about this Concordance, either. But what can I expect? It's chock full of words in a small volume, therefore, the lettering is small BUT it is DARK so it's much easier to read than Nelson's Compact Concordance!! So, if you're looking for a Concordance that's possible to carry around that you can actually read AVOID Nelson's and choose Cruden's. Just make sure you bring your glasses if you need reading glasses!!! (By the way, this is good for the KJV which is the only version I'd heartily recommend anyway.)

This could be a great reference, but the

print is so poor - not just tiny - but

as if photocopied too many times &

scrunched down to fit on the page.

I would have welcomed this reference in a larger, more readable

page-format. As it is, I feel it was a complete waste of money.

I bought a Cruden's Concordance years ago and use it all the time. It is the best I have found yet. Then I decided to buy my friend and myself one to take to church with us so I ordered the compact version. I really love it and any word you want to look up in the bible is in there. Really nice!

This little book is handy to have for travel or at convenient locations. I keep one at my desk at work. The one I recently bought, I bought for a friend who owned no concordance. I have never been able to not find what I was looking for with this book. It's not an exhaustive concordance, but it's good to have as an extra (lightweight and easy to take to a Bible study), or to give as a gift, or for beginning students of the word of God. The price is good for this handy reference book. I recommend it for the intents that I mentioned above. For a deeper study of the word of God, I recommend Strong's Exhaustive Concordance with the Hebrew and Greek dictionaries in the back of the book. God bless and guide your study of His word.

I have an old version of Curden's Complete Concordance (1st printing 1967) that I like much better, but it has completely fallen apart. It has the Scripture references on the right of the colums and is much easier to read.
