Great for getting started with your Strong's Concordance, October 4, 2000
By A Customer
Robert P. Kendall's book, Getting The Most From Your New Strong's Exhausive Bible Concordance, allows for the beginning bible student to look up words back the the hebrew, greek, and chaldea. This book gives you step-by-step instruction on how to look up words back to its original language. It allows the reader how to understand and how to insert it into the passage they are reading. The book is only 54 pages long, and it goes from easy to hard word translations ( I shouldn't say hard just requires more digging and thought). If you have the desire to learn more from God's word and have recently bought a Strong's Concordance or just thinking about it, then purchase this book. It is short, to the point, and enhances your bible studys. So if you are interest in in depth knowledge of God's word, through the use of Strong's concordance then dig through your change jar and buy this book.

Not really worth it, December 11, 2000
Kendall presents here what is basically a common-sense introduction to the use of Strong's Concordance. Look up the word in the Concordance, get the word's number, look it up in the dictionary. Pretty simple, really. Unfortunately, though, he acts as if the root of a word is the same as the definition; this is not quite true. Getting the root does help with a deeper understanding, but it's not the "true" definition of the word. A few of the examples (ref. John 1:1) are also flawed, as he throws in his own explanation (along the lines "but of course that's not what it means because of X"). The coupons in the back are a nice value, though.If you've never done even the most cursory etymology, this book might be useful for about five minutes. Otherwise, it might not be worth your money.

Great companion to Strong's..., July 9, 2003
So, you have purchased a Strong's and you want to know how to use it. Strong's is thick enough to warrant a little how-to manual. And this book fills the need nicely.
It goes into the basics of working with Strong's--how to do word searches as well as some other techniques that will greatly benefit your study time.Remember, for any Bible tool, the better you know how to use it, the better that tool will serve you. Just a few dollars spent on learning how to use Strong's now will pay off in spades down the road. Since this book is so affordable, do yourself a favor and get this book. And then use your Strong's with confidence.
