George W. Knight

The layout is fairly good and the illustrations are generally appealing (although it is not always clear why they are there). This is an alphabetized reference work; however, it is not restricted to the "Names of God" as I was expecting (it included many additional religious terms, that while helpful was not what I was looking for and made it more difficult to find what I was looking for). In fact, other than some general relationship to the Bible (with many having the book, chapter and verse), I could not figure out what the criteria was for inclusion. That is particularly surprising given how short the book actually is (139 pages in total); some of this can be explained by the numerous topic redirects within (the rest being that it only goes to the letter "F" ... I guess that is what they mean when they say sample). Most of the terms were pretty basic, so I am not sure how much this improves over a simple concordance. As a member of the Holy Name Society, I was looking forward to reading this book; it was not as interesting or helpful as I had hoped.

I was given this free advance reader copy (ARC) ebook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

I found this book to be perfect for new believers and a valuable reference for those who are already seasoned Bible readers. Author George Knight offers 365 segments so that, each day of the year, there is selected Bible scripture, a summary of that scripture, and information that explains it even more. In one year it is possible to read the entire Holy Bible and to better understand God's Word. I especially like that Knight shares extra details about the customs and culture that relate to the times mentioned and that there are some lovely colored illustrations throughout the book.

Welcome to Your Bible is a wonderful resource and I recommend it to all who long to increase their knowledge and deepen their understanding of God's Word.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing and was under no obligation to post a review.… (meer)
