5.0 out of 5 stars A Concordance for Dummies, January 16, 2001

By	Beverly Bush Smith - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Cruden's Complete Concordance (Hardcover)

A Bible verse flits through your mind, but you can't remember it exactly, and you're not sure where to find it. You look in the Concordance in the back of your Bible. No help. Even the gigantic Strong's Concordance (which gives you a hernia to lift!) doesn't help because it's keyed only to the King James translation. Cruden's to the rescue! Look up a key word and you find the reference in 'most any translation. Example: you remember somewhere in Scripture the phrase, "God inhabits the praise of His people. So you look under "praise" and you find Psalm 22:3: "OH Thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel." OK, so you didn't recall it quite right. Now you know. Another example: you're curious what the Bible has to say about JOY. Wow! More than 2 columns of references on joy and joyful! A Bible study in itself. As a writer, I adore this book, but anyone who loves God's word and studying it will, too.

1.0 out of 5 stars impossible to read, November 8, 2007

By	just ask me "php meister" (Cincinnati OH) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: Cruden's Compact Concordance (Paperback)

This could be a great reference, but the
print is so poor - not just tiny - but
as if photocopied too many times &
scrunched down to fit on the page.
I would have welcomed this reference in a larger, more readable
page-format. As it is, I feel it was a complete waste of money.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Own!, June 28, 2007

By	Val Lee "Val Lee (Author of 'Cliques in the C... (Meridian, Idaho) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Cruden's Compact Concordance (Paperback)

"Cruden's Compact Concordance" is a must own for those seeking to be genuine scripture scholars. It is small, user-friendly and easy to grab for quick word hunting. Just about all verses listing the particular desired word are presented as well as footnoted related ones for probing a possible better connection--extremely helpful if you are reading another Bible version. Most every day this book lands in my hand as I often need a verse and can't remember where to find it.

Spy glasses might be necessitated for investigating the minuscule print, but this is the only drawback to this slim lining assist.

My favorite recommended books are those that get people into the holy, immutable and inerrant Word. I also suggest the purchase of "Unger's Bible Dictionary" as an added comprehensive studious guide.
