Nelson's Compact Series: Compact Bible Handbook

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.
