I PURCHASED THIS DICTIONARY/CONCORDANCE, THINKING I WOULD BE ABLE TO GET CLEARER INFORMATION ON WORDS AND/OR PHRASES USED IN THE BIBLE. THIS BOOK GIVES VERY VAGUE DEFINITIONS, AND DOES NOT HAVE MANY OF THE QUESTIONABLE WORDS IN IT. I DO NOT EVEN USE THIS BOOK; YOU WILL FIND MORE WORDS IN A WEBSTER'S DICTIONARY. WHEN YOU ARE SEARCHING FOR MORE DEPTH UNDERSTANDING, THIS BOOK IS NOT THE ONE. IT APPEARS THEY TRIED HARD, TO KEEP THE BOOK SMALL. BY COMPACTING BASIC WORDS, AND NOT ENOUGH WORDS THAT ONE MAY REALLY QUESTION. YOU GET LARGE PRINT BUT tiny DEFINITION. MOST INFORMATION IN THIS BOOK IS GOING TO BE IN YOUR BASIC BIBLE, GET A REAL CONCORDANCE, AND IF YOU MUST HAVE LARGE PRINT, YOU CAN BUY ONE OF THOSE MAGNIFICATION SHEETS TO LIE ON THE PAGE. BETTER TO HAVE A BIG BOOK, WITH MUCH INFORMATION, THAN A SMALL BOOK, WITH BIG PRINT AND little INFORMATION.

While it appears to be a good tool--having a 2-in-1 approach, this book falls short by the very thing it promotes: two books in one.

Any time you compromise a work and combine two into one, you won't get the best of both worlds; you get a diminished product that really doesn't meet your needs that much if at all.

You are much better off buying a separate dictionary and concordance.
