Nave's Topical Bible is a very useful Bible resource. It is ideal for looking up passages about a particular topic or term, and having all the verses in one place, stated in context for easy reference. A good example is that you can look a a term like "repentance" and it will show you all the verses that not only contain the term repentance, but it will also show you verses that explain or define repentance even if the actual word is not used. This book is a great reference tool for bringing just the scripture you are looking for into an organized topical format. It's much nicer than a concordance (although it will not replace one) because instead of just listing were a term is or part of a verse you are looking for, it brings you the entire verse in context. I highly recommend this resource and the NIV version for all NIV readers, as I believe the other Nave's Topical Bible versions are in the King James translation.

WONDERFUL BOOK AND RESOURCE MATERIAL. I HAVE JUST BEGUN A BIBLE STUDY COURSE AND THIS REFERENCE HAS PROVEN TO BE OF GREAT VALUE. EXTREMELY DETAILED AND EASY TO USE. DEFINITELY FIVE STARS.

After you've the read the bible once through from cover to cover (a manditory project) one the best things you can do is buy a Topical Bible. It organizes all relavent scriptures under specific topical headings.

Nav is probably of the best. MacCarthur's is also good, but Nav is much more the standard than MacCarthur. This is must- have for all Christians who are serious about being knowledgeable.

I bought this book hoping that I could quickly find answers to questions I had. I like that you don't have to go to your bible every time you get a reference for a topic....they have some of the verses right there in the book. However, the topic list and cross reference could be a bit more extensive. If you want to look for what the bible says about being gay, you can't look up the word "gay" or "homosexual". You have to come up with another word, of which I can never think of. This is just one example of the lack of cross referenced words.

My suggestion would have been to leave out the verses in the book and add more cross referenced, common-day words.

t'is a lovely revisit to the venerable Nave's in the NIV format.it is keyed to the Goodrick-Kohlenberger (G/K) system, not Strong's, so an NIV Concordance is a handy tool to use along side it.btw,there is an index to compare the G/K numbers with Strong's in the back.i really like the font, texture of the paper and contemporary words, all of which make it a welcome addition to the original in one's devotional library.be aware,apparently covers may vary.

Proverbs 3:5-8

This is an great topical reference, I use it quite often when studying a particular topic. The book is well made and lays open while reading.
