This is a very helpful piece of all that a lay teacher/student needs as a study aid. Recently I have order many of your books that provide the necessary help to "rightly divide the Word of Truth." I just ask that you keep the specials coming for all the academic resources that you offer.

This book was written for those of us who have not taken Greek, but want to use the Greek helps and better Commentaries. It helps one to understand the concepts of the Greek language without all the time needed to memorize all the parsings and declensions of the Greek language. This book was very helpful for me.

Trying to understand Greek is like "code breaking" for me.
It's hard, taking it one step at a time.
I like this book, it's fun and easy to read. So far, my favorite was Chapter 4, Dr. Mounce does a great job explaining Translations. This alone was worth the price of the book.
