The Handbook of Bible Application

I really enjoyed reading this book. I was preparing to teach a class for Deaconess Trainees at my church this book was very helpful. It is reader friendly and has lots of scripture references. I would recommend this book to anyone serious about studying and getting a better understanding of the Bible.

This is a nice and quick biblical resource for everyday subject matter. It wasn't quite as extensive as I had anticipated or hoped, but easier to tote around than an extensive concordance. I would recommend it.

The Handbook of Bible Application is an excellent resource for anyone looking for a biblical perspective on various issues including from abortion to zeal and everything in-between.The typical format for each issue consists of: 1)listing and definition of the issue, 2) a question concerning the issue (i.e. - how should Christians respond to laziness?), 3) key Bible verses concerning the issue, 4) a few key points for thought concerning the issue, and 5) a listing of related topics.The handbook is decidedly more of a life-application instead of a scholarly approach. However, the pastor preparing a sermon, the teacher preparing a lesson, or the believer or unbeliever searching for biblical answers can greatly benefit from the title!All in all, a highly recommended supplement to the Bible!

If you've ever wanted to study a topic addressed in the Bible or asked the question, "What does the Bible say about . . . ?" then look to this volume first. Unlike a devotional, concordance, Bible index or Bible dictionary, this book focuses on topics. Extremely easy to use, follow and understand, The Handbook of Bible Application addresses some 475 topics. Arranged alphabetically this book is great for personal study, devotions and just general understanding. Be careful, though, you could get hooked on this one. It's a great investment. Use it daily and grow in His Word.Be blessed!

This book is a good resource for the new Believer, as well as, those who are maturing Christians. Early in my walk with the Lord, this provided necessary guidance and answered many questions I had. Now, I still refer to it occasionally just for additional perspective. The book takes popular topics, outlines selected Scriptures about the topic, and presents a position on the topics based on the Scriptures used. It does not include all possible Scriptures on a given topic and should not be thought of as a replacement to your own Bible study. (I use this book as a companion to study as nothing replaces utilizing a thorough concordance to look up the Scriptures yourself for a topic.) However, I have found most of the direction on topics to be generally Scripturally sound. Therefore, I think itis a good reference to provide additional perspective to any Bible study.
