Reviews
Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc.
This compendium, organized in a Q&A format, addresses questions regarding the Bible. Within broad chapter headings like "The Worship of God" and "Everyday Life," questions such as "What is a firmament?" and "Who is Satan?" are discussed. Some, perhaps, have seldom been posed (e.g., "What is a chariot city?"). Others can be answered just as easily in the Bible itself (e.g., "How did Noah learn that the flood was over?"). These, and the topical rather than historical arrangement, limit the book's appeal. Still, its thoroughly researched text and (generally) balanced treatment of many ideas is useful. This accessible reference tool would make a valuable addition to any library without a recent Bible dictionary or encyclopedia.

Store description
I have a large inventory of children's books, cookbooks, collectibles, classics, first editions, signed books, history, biographies, science, textbooks, and more. Each book to me is a "precious jewel" and I try and describe it, giving you a good understanding of its content, and also its condition. One example, I have a John Muir book where he has written in the margins all through it to correct mistakes made by the publisher. (this was confirmed by John Muir historic site for me) I have over 50,000 books and some are quite rare from 1800's to 2020's. I've been collecting books for over 50 years and now am a spry 80 and going strong. I try and get books out same day as order comes in and love it when someone writes that they's been looking for a book for years and finally found it with me!…
