dictionary for the elders

DB of Mississippi
The dictionary is of good quality materials. The pages are heavy newsprint. The fonts are large but I still ned my reading glasses to see the word definitions. It does not contain as many words and definitions as Merriam Webster's regular print dictionary but should be sufficient for everyday use.

It's terrific - very easy to read

Reasonable Bible for the price but not a great bargain
The Bible is described incorrectly, it is imitation leather which one would expect from the price.The quality of the imitation lather and binding is satisfactory.The color is apparently random.Mine was red but from other reviews I get the impression that sometimes it is black.My biggest complaint is thatthe type is not a very intense black and the pages are not an intense white so there is not as much contract between the text and pages as one would like. There is another large print Bible coming out in the same price range that is worth considering although I have not seen it yet.It is ISBN159856000Xand the Amazon price is $12.92.

PERFECT KJV BIBLE FOR THE MONEY! EASY TO READ!
This is a wonderful and easy to read BIBLE! I highly recommend this to anyone! First, the print is LARGE at about 14 points and it very easy to see and read! When you open it, it lays flat and is easy to place on a table to read or read it in your lap. It is constructed of a very attractive leather-like vinyl. In order to carry around this Bible, I just bought an extra large BIBLE cover for it and it fits into this perfectly. And, I would suggest that you buy a protective Bible cover for this as you can store your pen inside and also church flyers, small note paper etc. For the money, you cannot go wrong with this Bible. I bought TWO from Amazon and am so happy with my purchase!

fair
First, this Bible is not leather, it is flex or fake leather. Second, the pages are okay, but there are no frills here. Just a decent Bible for family devotion, etc. ... Read more

Beautiful and well-done
Cody Jones' beautiful and well-done book on Proverbs is sincerelyappreciated. God bless!

Six parallel translations of Proverbs are especially useful
The wisdom contained in Proverbs has always been of particularinterest to me, and through the years I've acquired a number of useful commentaries on the Book of Proverbs .And I must agree with what Cody Jones briefly touched upon in the introduction to his book - that all too many commentaries (both older and more modern ones) are entirely overly academic and rather arid in their treatments, which in most cases clearly are not intended to help the average person in the practical, day-to-day pursuit of wisdom. A useful reference, BUT...
In view of the glowing reports by other readers, I am reluctant to say so but, frankly, I am disappointed in this work.It is a useful reference,but I find it somewhat superficial in its treatment.I have found theolder, more modest "Everyman's Bible Commentary" to provide adeeper analysis, and to better tie Proverbs to other scripture. ...

Good concise office reference
For more entries, and bigger letters you would buy a tome sized dictionary.This dictionary is very nice for an office reference.It has enough word entries, and is small enough to serve that purpose.

This book is an insult to intelligent hard of seeing people
This dictionary is a disappointment to people who have trouble reading normal print dictionaries.With half the number of entries of other dictionaries, no pronunciation key for entries, no etymology and extremelybare bones definitions, this dictionary is completely useless.I wish thatthe publishers would issue a large print dictionary in as many volumes aswould be necessary to contain all the information of a standard printdictionary.My eyes are bad but my brain is fine. ...

Great As A Teaching Manual!
This is a well written, thought provoking book. I am currently using it as a manual for a Bible study class. It's not one of those "deep theological" biographies, but it speaks to the layman, in a very easy-to-understand style. Recommended for study groups, or anyone, who wants to know more about the "man after God's own heart".

best of the Swindoll series?
All the books are good ... this one was great. It hit home for me.

For the most part Swindoll misses the point
We used this book for an adult Sunday School class that I taught.I was extremely disappointed by the superficial treatment of the text.I found myself using the Biblical text and other sources.For the most part Dr. Swindoll's book was a distraction rather than a help.For example, 2 Samuel 7 descibes

you're wrong
Scrabble is not about words, and someone of your rating should know that.

book is very helpful
Ising this dictionary has helped me to become a better player.

The "official" word on what's acceptable
The official scrabble dictionary (OSD) serves its purpose: it is the authority when settling disputes. The make quality is that of your average mass market paperback, and so is the price. The definitions, on the other hand, are really perfunctory (but what do you expect?). Some words in the dictionary, like Za, Ka, and Ai, are surprising because they're not found in the commonly owned dictionaries. This makes playing with the OSD a different game, one in which it pays to memorize these little words.

My FAVORITE resource
This book has been an invaluable accessory to 4 years of Disciple Bible study.I love charts ... and this one has LOTS!Good timelines and explanations.It may not have the most up to date scholarship and archeological details but the amount of very helpful information in just this one volume can not (in my experience) be beaten!

A Good Maps & Charts Book - I'm Still Looking
I was looking for a series of charts that would combine people and historical dates.For example, in Daniel, how do the various prophets line up with the various rulers?When do Daniel's dreams take place chronologically?
More Bible Maps and Charts
Wow, what a surprise on how well organized this book was.I thought I had enough books of Bible charts and maps but there is

King James Big print Bible
Bible is great just a light blue cover no problem,enjoy reading with good size letters

The Baroque Bible in a solemnly grand paperback
For Gibbon-thumping Milton fans like myself, it's troubling to have to experience the poetic majesty of the King James Bible through some sorrily-printed Zondorvan or Nelson edition, especially as it is likely to be larded with commentary of the most dubious (considered archaeologically or theologically) nature. There's always "The Bible Designed to Be Read as Living Literature," but who wants to be cheated by abridgment (to say nothing of RSV substitutions)? This lovely Ivy Books paperback is the perfect answer to this dilemma. Its virtue is to present the KJV in areadable format, sans additions of any kind, with a majestic veined-granite cover. It places the Bible as a book among other books, without making it humble. A comfort in the hands and easy on the eyes, this edition allows the majesty of this Renaissance cathedral of Words to speak to the reader with all the billowing grandeur of its majestic style and substance. Nor would it seem cheaply out of place in a place of worship. Whether one seeks literary or divine intoxication, this edition is worthy of one's affection.

Excellent book!
Wonderful version of this age old and fabulus crutch.Explore the limits of who we are - where we come from and how we shold treat each other.Read more

A good translation for the serious student
With all of the current debate over Bible translations, its hard to know where to turn. Some factions are even militant in their claims for one version over the other. And there can be no doubt that some of the newer translations are indeed lacking. But as a Pastor, I have found the NAS an invaluable study tool, and one I recommend for several reasons. 1 - If you are looking for more precise renderings in the nuances of the original autographs, especially the Greek, the NAS wins the day. Although the English may be a bit halting at times, it becomes quickly evident that there is increased clarity of meaning. Bear with it being a little "clunky", and you'll be rewarded by the treasures of the linguistic subtleties rising to the top. 2 - It makes an excellent bridge between the Elizabethan quaintness of the KJV and modern English. While nothing rivals the beauty and music of the KJV, the NAS still retains a stately reverence and never falls into familial contempt. It is true, there are some textual concerns over which manuscripts were used for translation in the NAS vs the KJV. But the majority of the differences are minor, and no major doctrine of the orthodox Christian faith suffers in the process. In fact, you'll probably find the themes emerging with more precision and clarity than ever before. For memorization, stick with King James. For serious study and teaching, pick up an NAS and enjoy ... Read more

Genius!
This large print dictionary makes word-finding unbelievably easy!It has large print so that words can be found quickly.And it's perfect for those who have a hard time seeing.It's not that hard to find a word because whereas with smaller, finer print dictionaries in which the words are all so compacted to fit into a 500+ page book and are much smaller, this book has them printed much larger and yet still has a lot to translate.
Perfect for Vision Impaired
My cousin and I got this dictionary because we both translate documents at work, and although it has fewer words than the regular Velazquez, it helps a lot when you read as much as we do, to have larger font words.
The only hardcover Spanish and English Dictionary
I try to find a hardcover Spanish and English Dictionary for a gift, and surprisingly this is the only one available at Amazon.The font is large enough for mature readers without reading glasses and the word collection are good enough for every day usage. The price is amazingly low, Random House has a paperback one and it costs about the same, and Vel�zquez is a brand I can trust. ... Read more

Editorial Review

If you're using the 1991 edition or the 1978 original, you're woefully behind the Scrabble-playing times. With more than 100,000 2- to 8-letter words, there are some interesting additions ("aargh," "aarrgh," and "aarrghh" are all legitimate now), while words they consider offensive are no longer kosher. Why subscribe to the Scrabble dictionary's changeable lexicon? Well, it ends the argument of whose dictionary to use, but the main reason is that it's the winner's dictionary, and why play Scrabble if not to win? Memorize those 2- and 3-letter words, and your Scrabble game becomes lethal. ... Read more

This book has been replaced by 4th edition!
Do NOT get this book -- which contains only the THIRD EDITION of the allowable Scrabble words.If you want the FOURTH EDITION, which is current up through its publication in late 2005, use this number to search Amazon's catalog: 0877796343 which will take you to the Fourth Edition, Large Print.For some reason, you can't find it by using words like "Scrabble Large Print" to find that edition -- you have to use the ISBN number.
Large print scrabble dictionary
This dictionary is excellent to read and has definations that the smaller version does not have.

No Help AtAll
I PURCHASED THIS DICTIONARY/CONCORDANCE, THINKING I WOULD BE ABLE TO GET CLEARER INFORMATION ON WORDS AND/OR PHRASES USED IN THE BIBLE. THIS BOOK GIVES VERY VAGUE DEFINITIONS, AND DOES NOT HAVE MANY OF THE QUESTIONABLE WORDS IN IT. I DO NOT EVEN USE THIS BOOK; YOU WILL FIND MORE WORDS IN A WEBSTER'S DICTIONARY. WHEN YOU ARE SEARCHING FOR MORE DEPTH UNDERSTANDING, THIS BOOK IS NOT THE ONE. IT APPEARS THEY TRIED HARD, TO KEEP THE BOOK SMALL. BY COMPACTING BASIC WORDS, AND NOT ENOUGH WORDS THAT ONE MAY REALLY QUESTION. YOU GET LARGE PRINT BUT tiny DEFINITION. MOST INFORMATION IN THIS BOOK IS GOING TO BE IN YOUR BASIC BIBLE, GET A REAL CONCORDANCE, AND IF YOU MUST HAVE LARGE PRINT, YOU CAN BUY ONE OF THOSE MAGNIFICATION SHEETS TO LIE ON THE PAGE. BETTER TO HAVE A BIG BOOK, WITH MUCH INFORMATION, THAN A SMALL BOOK, WITH BIG PRINT AND little INFORMATION.

By combining, you're losing...
While it appears to be a good tool--having a 2-in-1 approach, this book falls short by the very thing it promotes: two books in one.Read more

What a wonderful cookbook!
This instantly became my favorite cookbook and I use it so much that it doesn't spend much time on the shelf.This cookbook transcends the "collection of recipes" style of most cookbooks; its style is more "how to improve your cooking skills."
Just a Wonderful Little Cookbook
I have an enormous cookbook collection, but I still buy more...The title of this book says it all - Essential Techniques and Recipes from a Lifetime of Cooking.It's slim but every page has valuable wisdom from Julia Child - you can almost hear her as you read each page.I have already purchased three additional copies of this cookbook as gifts for my two daughters and my mother.It is totally appropriate for the beginning cook as well as the most experienced.

some great advice for maintaining sound health
I think this book will be a pretty good resource for anyone searching for information regarding ways to ensure that their health is in top form. It shows them to how go about choosing the proper doctor, insurance companies, and treatment plans. Additionally, readers are also supplied with information on how to deal with a miscellany of ailments and conditions consistent with someone who is of less than sound health. Some examples are inclusive of, but not limited to, cat allergies, turkey neck, diabetes, heart disease, back pain, amnesia, and much, much more.

It supplies the information on health everyone should have
Michael Roizen helps you learn how your body works and how to get in touch with it. The only criticism I have of the book is that Roizen advocates a special diet, rather than focusing on what your body tells you what it needs. None the less, This book is your own owners manual for your own body. To be healthy you have to understand all of the various bodily functions, not just the dogmatic views other books discuss, and what you need to do to keep everything running smoothly and remain and maintain a healthy state.
Great book
I did not consider myself a smart patient or an educated patient before I read this book, but know I feel that I have a better understanding of my health. It told me when I reach this age I should take this test. Not only did it tell me what, but it also told me why I should take the test and what I should expect (pain) from the test. This book it worth 3 times what I paid for it and the revenue is going to charity! Another great book for smart patients is`Can We Live 150` by M. Tombak. ... Read more
