5.0 out of 5 stars The most comprehensive and easy-to-use pronounciation guide, May 22, 1999

By A Customer

This book is great for Pastors, Ministers, and anyone who wants or needs to be able to properly pronounce names from the Bible. It has really improved my confidence and credibility in this area. I recommend it as a standard tool in everyone's library.

3.0 out of 5 stars Easier to say, than to use, September 25, 2000

By A Customer

Nothing is more frustrating than paying for an item, and not being able to use it. I had to wait till during business hours to call the publishers of this product in order to receive a special code to unlock the information on the cd that I had already paid for! To make matters worse; after writing the code down in the book for future reference I was even more aggravated by the fact that a month or so later, after my husband had deleted the program not realizing what it was, the code I had would not unlock the program for me. To top it off, I could not call the company, because it was a weekend, and they aren't available then to give out codes! As for the book and program itself, it is not comprehensive, as I have come across names while reading the Bible, that are not listed in the book. The cd was the selling point for me, and because of the amount of trouble I have had to go to just to use it, I am not happy with this purchase, and don't even care to call to get the code to unlock this program again. Why should a Christian publisher be so concerned about copy protection? Don't they trust their fellow Christian consumers? Isn't the spread of the gospel more important than protecting the bottom line?

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Confidence, November 6, 2006

By	William F. Blue - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

That's Easy For You To Say instills confidence in any Pastor or Teacher with word pronunciation. I teach Bible Study quite frequently and when the text is filled with difficult words, I can feel the congregation waiting to see if I will pronounce the word correctly, or trip all over it. When you use the CD, and the program pronounces the word for you, you are no longer guessing, you have amazing confidence when reading the scriptures. I do a word study with each lesson and I use the CD to ensure I am ready to read the text without stumbling. Each verse then becomes so easy and you have such confidence it is absolutely amazing. If you care about being your best when reading the scriptures, this book will be a tremendous value that will provide a life time of pastoral help.
