Excellent

This book is excellent. I have purchased many copies to give as gifts and recommend it highly. Simple, easy to read, well-written devotions give the reader insight into spiritual significance of 60 different Hebrew words used in the Bible. Anyone interested in understanding the Bible should read this book.

Excellent - Listening to the Language of the Bible

Excellent Book, was recommended to me by my Pastor Publisher: [...] Review by LD Australia

Excellent wisdom for reading the Bible more authentically

What a delightful book. Its short essays about hebraic ideas unlock the deeper meaning of many hard-to-understand ideas in the Bible. Highly recommended.

A Great Reference!

If you are interested in the Jewish context of Jesus's time and understand what the bible translations (anything English is) on certain passages actually mean! It is a good starting book for anyone who will like to converse with Jewish friends who are religious:-)

Good Primer

This is a good primer for learning the languages of the Bible. There are helps here that will be of use in a Sunday School Class as well as in the pulpit. We need a better understanding of the words use in Hebrew and the culture that surrounds them. I highly recommend this one but don't stop here.
