Need to know more about "Hukok"? You'll find it in this AWESOME little book...and more!...January 6, 2011

The Nelson's Biblical Cyclopedic Index is a resource that you should not be without.  This little book is a really solid concordance/topical index/Bible dictionary.  Don’t let the size fool you – this little book packs a big punch – packed with more references than some of the “bigger” ones.  When I received this reference book I was ecstatic when I saw how small and portable it is, yet is a wealth of Biblical reference material that will aide me wherever I decide to take my Bible study. This book is small in size yet comprehensive in it's contents.  It really is a wonderful tool to dig deeper in The Word.

In this little book you will find topics/meanings – all with scriptural references, and it even teaches you the biblical background of several important words and phrases that will enhance your understanding of the word. You will find over 8,000 subjects and 300 word studies.  I loved page 284, under “Kings” heading.  How cool to see a historical chronology of the Kings and the length of their reign, both over Israel and Judah – with Biblical references of the same.  This book will really take my personal Bible study deeper and help fill in the gaps.  Highly recommended.

I received this book free from Thomas Nelson Publishers as part of their book review bloggers program.
