This book is an excellent resource, but the kindle version leaves a lot to be desired. There is no table of contents so you will have to scroll page by page to get to the section you want. There is also no search function, which is a major flaw since this is a massive book. Lastly, the reviews I read prior to buying were for the printed version, not Kindle. I would not reccommend this version until the navigation problem has been redone.

If I was told that I could only have my Bible plus three other books for sermon and Bible study preparation, the three choices would have to be Strongs concordance, a good Bible dictionary, and Nave's Topical Bible.

Nave's has more than 20,000 topics leading to over 100,000 scripture references providing Biblical insight on a multitude of subjects. Just as importantly, this is no flash-in-the-pan, here-today-out-of-print-tomorrow study tool. Nave's has withstood the test of time and met the needs of millions of users down through the years. This is a work that no clergyman or serious reader of the Bible should be without.

This is a logical grouping of verses based on the topics they deal with. This is the perfect tool if you want to know all the verses that apply to a certain topic. The only critique is that Nave's needs to be updated. Much of the language is outdated and it is sometimes hard to determine what heading the verses you might be looking for are under. For instance, greed is under Covetousness. While this instance has a cross-reference pointing you to the right heading, many words do not. Despite this critique, this is one of the best resources for Bible study.

Nave's is a great topical reference, but this Kindle version does not have a table of contents which makes referencing any book difficult, but is especially troubling for a reference work. Don't waste your money on this title.

A good topical Bible is needed for subject studies and for preparing messages.

The Nave's Topical Bible can assist the novice and the expert review scriptures by topic and it tends to be pretty exhaustive. There are times where other related scriptures are listed as opposed to quoted. This is a great resource if we are seeking scriptures to instruct us on various topics about living life. Also subjects about people in scripture or just any topic is listed.

Anyone using this can do so as a jump off point to additional studies and Naves is the best for your buck.

This is an indispensable tool in any family's study of the Bible, particularly for young readers, for topical studies or for moments when you would use Strong's but cannot remember the exact wording of a passage.

The binding of this edition is of better quality than the slightly less expensive version offered by Nelson, and while the paper stock will tend to yellow and brittle with age, this edition should be able to take a decade or two of heavy use without exhaustion.

An excellent, affordable resource. Highly recommended.

This purchase was a waist of space on my Kindle and a waist of money.
No table of contents or easy way to do a topical search for anything. You must use a tedious scroll at best to find anything. I will delete this and anything else setup like it from my Kindle. I see no benefit to keep this on my system.

I thought I was purchasing the Nave's Topical Bible, it is only a reference manual, no links, no verses, nothing. The Kindle Nave's KJV is better and works much like the TimBecca Naves but still not the full Topical reading text(Hardcover) version. Currently, the TimBecca Naves is the best app, and hopefully someone will introduce the full Nave's Topical Bible.
If you go with a Kindle version, get the KJV. It's 3 times the file size with good navigation and active verse links in full screen.

Having no table of contents is a major detriment to the value of this purchase. Let's hope they remedy this in a timely fashion.

The kindle version of naves topical bible is not a good buy, I would call it useless but I like the hard cover. I find this version extremely tedious to use because there is no search function or active table of contents...much work (preferably an improved download) needs to be done before I could recommend this to anyone.
