Bought 3 of these and 2 read the same but the third is usually off by 5-6* and 10%-20% compared to the other two. Gives a good base reading.

Read it once and it seemed like a reference book. Will definitely need to read another time as some chapters are easier to read than others. Overall, good source for better understanding.

It is always hard to do justice to a religious system in a brief book. I got this book to help me have a basic grasp and that's what I think I got: a basic grasp. It will take me several readings to get a better sense of its history and interconnectedness with Indian/Pakistani cultures.

IK just bought this to have it. It isn't something I read frequently, but browse or refer to from time to time. Good to have on the shelf.

So far, this is holding reading accurately. The big numbers are good enough for my elder parents. The outside sensor is lengthy. It's easy to use with AAA battery.

This book is a helpful reference to set up your kitchen garden. The author has written the book is a simple language. I don't need to refer the dictionary every now and then. That's what I liked about this book. When you read non-fiction, you will have to take in a lot of information and it's a hassle to refer the dictionary every now and then.

 I am pleased that the author has done a good job to write a book that reads well.

 It's a nice read in the evening while sipping your morning coffee and planning for your roof-top kitchen garden with your wife.

 This book deserves a 4.5/5

I bought this bible because it describes each section and gives the reader some insight into the timeframe that it was written.  Some history is given and a little analysis.  Just enough for new bible reader and some additional information for seasoned readers.

This is a good place to start reading and experimenting with it. Although the style is a bit heavy it is interesting and the recipes are good.

This is one of the better books I have seen for a description of what the pens and bases look like. Some illustrations are a tad dark, but still of great interest.  Good buy.

This book is well organized and has enough reading material from every age of the Church, at the back of the book, to test your understanding as you go, so that you don't pass out with boredom from the simple sentences at the ends of the early chapters. I think if you want to get going reading ecclesiastical Latin and work through the book as presented, this is a good book. It does assume you'll commit the material of each chapter to memory as you go. If you've had prior experience with Latin this book serves as a really good review.

It's a spare format, and could use a little more drill at the end of each chapter. I resent the lack of an answer key in the book, and that one has to buy the answer key separately. Still, if you pay attention you can be reasonably sure if your answers are correct.

One reason I gave it only four stars is the peculiarly modern (as in post VatII) tone the drill sentences seem to have. For example, the word for priest is given in the glossary as "sacerdos" but you will see the word "minister" used instead nearly every time "priest" would have been the right word. This is quite in keeping with the modern idea of the priest as a mere presider or minister, rather than one who offers a sacrifice. The phrase "people of God" also turns up quite a bit in the practice sentences. I find myself wishing there were more pre-Vatican II theology presented in the material rather than the dispiriting modernist pap that is now current. Traditionalists take note.

I use this in an online class at present. The readability is high and the slightly larger font reminds me of elementary school textbooks. A lot easier on the eyes than most textbooks, for sure.

And while it explains things well enough, in the beginning chapters, there are a few theories of the origins of the Earth as we know it that leave me questioning whether the author really believed that was all there was to it. I'm not religious, so this has nothing to do with that. I just can't help but feel that the author left out some serious information that made the theories make any sort of sense.

Regardless, I'll leave that part up to you to decide. I still like the layout of this book a lot better than any others I've had since middle school. Too much text on a page is still too much, I don't care how much paper you're saving. The text size difference is very subtle but it makes a huge difference to me, and for that I'm grateful.

as with the other books in this series you get alot of information in a small convenient package.
it gives a summary and  addresses the "who,what,when,where and why of each book of the bible.
there are timelines, charts and outlines that aid in teaching and studies.
it even has a section on the apocrypha.
this is a good, first to look at, aid when you want to get a quick but thorough insight into the word of God.
the handbook is divided into four parts: one being the old testament, two the new, three the apocrypha and part
four is exploring the bible which is a section that helps set up studies for individuals or groups with different
study plans.
for what you get and the price one can't go wrong with adding this to your bible helps collection.
in fact i just today purchased a copy for my wife so i can have mine back as she really enjoyed reading it.

For those who have read the series this is a nice compliment to some referencing. Not as good as other books but I enjoyed it as well.

Easy to understand, and really good for hitting the ground running. I appreciated the walk-through style for learning to evaluate features; they build on each other, and it helped me start putting things into context.

Simple and easy to read, although not comprehensive enough to present the best possible solid understanding, but I liked it.
