What every kid wished their parents knew…. and vice versa - Rob and Lloyd Parsons

Honest, Insightful and funny

What every kid wished their parents knew…. and vice versa.

Just by the title, you know what’s going to be inside! However, this is a well written, insightful look at the differences in attitude and thinking between kids and their parents.

Written by a British expert on family relationships - and his son, what ensues is a frank, eye opening exposure of the two sides in every argument you have and every lecture you give to your kids.

It’s easy to read and has some very funny quotes from kids who were interviewed for the book.

The Strongest Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible - Zondervan

Not a very good read, but essential all the same

 

Strongs Exhaustive Concordance is not a reading book, so don’t buy it expecting a good story. but it is the best concordance I have ever found.If you want to find any verse in the bible and can only remember one or two words, It will help you find it in moments.

If you want to study a little deeper and look at the Greek and Hebrew words used in every verse - you’ve got it, along with a definition of how each word can be translated.

It doesn’t stop there though. It’s got maps, a topical reference section and much, much more.

An essential edition to the bookshelf of everyone who studies their bible.

Readability: ★☆☆☆☆☆☆

Accuracy: ★★★★★★½

Life changing rating: ★★★☆☆☆☆

Overall Rating: ★★★½☆☆☆

A low rating, because it’s not a reading book, but essential anyway!
