This review is from: Willmington's Bible Handbook (Hardcover)

This book was reccomended by one of my Bible school instrutors. After reviewing a friend's copy, I located it in a local book store. It is a most helpful guide to learning more about the full meaning of scriptures. Also, I would like to add, your price is much less than the local bookstore, a savings of almost $20.00.
