by The Rev. Linda L. Grenz

Pocket Bible Guide will help you find what you need in the Bible.

"This was a religious best seller and now, under Leader Resources, which the author The Rev. Linda Grenz founded, we get to expose yet another generation to this invaluable resource. Youth, love it. And in our age of Biblical illiteracy, adults would be well advised to rush out and buy it. Having headed the College of Preachers, i will candidly admit, that I turn to it as a part of my sermon preparations to refresh my memory, and to get me unstuck when the commentaries and my prayers don't seem to get me connected to The Holy One!" The Rev. Howard Anderson, Ph.D., Rector St. Matthew's Episcopal Parish, Pacific Palisades, CA

The Pocket Bible Guide, originally pubished by Doubleday, was very popular with J2A youth groups as a gift for Rite 13 celebrities, as a resource for Sunday School teachers and with adult groups studying the Bible. It was written for those who want a quick and easy reference to tell them: What is this book about? Lots of people turn to it as a way to find the familiar verse you know is somewhere but aren't quite sure where. Others use it for the Bible study methods and still others find the extensive list of people, places and terms very helpful.
