Where to Find It in the Bible: The Ultimate A to Z Resource

by Ken Anderson, John Hayes (Illustrator)

If you want to know what the Bible says about topics like computers or nutrition or psychology, you may not find them in regular concordances. Where to Find It in the Bible helps you locate specific Bible references to thousands of different subjects! This is a contemporary concordance that uses common phrases to help you locate biblical sources on a myriad of subjects, both traditional and offbeat. Useful to Bible readers, students, Sunday school teachers, youth directors, counselors, pastors, or anyone who wants to find - using everyday speech - relevant Bible passages quickly and easily. An A-to-Z listing of topics puts key Scriptures at your fingertips, without heavy theological language. Includes humorous illustrations throughout.

About the author

Licensed by the Evangelical Free Church, Ken first pastored in Isle, Minnesota and later in Newman Grove, Nebraska. Then he became involved in the newly formed ministry, Youth For Christ, and served as their first full-time Magazine Editor. Ken became connected to a fledgling organization called Baptista Films, where he wrote and then directed his first film drama. Later he launched Gospel Films. Over 200 Christian films have been produced since then, including original dramas for many foreign countries. As a pioneer in Christian films, Ken will be best remembered for the drama story, PILGRIM’S PROGRESS, produced in 1977. Featured in the story is Liam Neeson in his first screen role, as Evangelist. Ken began a writing career that spanned 7 decades. 77 books were published, at least 1 per decade, with 19 books alone published in the 40's. As an author, Ken will be best remembered for his work, WHERE TO FIND IT IN THE BIBLE, published in 1996 by Thomas Nelson. Over 4 million copies are in print, and it remains a busy seller on the Nelson backlist.

[Jamie (The Kansan Reader) · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a basic concordance. Best read with a Bible. My favorite Bible to use is a ESV. I don’t have much more to say.

[Jayda 🍉 · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very good resource to use when studying the Bible or if you’re new to the faith and you’re curious about it.

[The Celtic Rebel (Richard) · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a wonderful reference tool to use in studying the Bible. It is not as exhaustive as some other Christian reference tools, but I use it often and wouldn't want to be without it.

[Cedric Dukes · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very good resource. Can look up scriptures references from everything from business, entrepreneur and etc. Not only a Christian cross reference but it references life application topics on marriages, teenagers, etc. you will have to do some digging in the Bible to find what you are looking for but it gives you a start. I continue to use this.

Useless

Very few Christian terms are listed. Even well known ideas like the indwelling of the holy spirit
are absent. No usefulness here.

2018 edition needs to be added here

Received as a wrong shipment. The shipper said I could keep it. Terrific resource

A really helpful and clear resource. So glad I found it.

[Jolyn · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book will be a very useful resource to find verses related to a particular topic. It is different than a concordance because the author determined whether the passage was dealing with the topic even if the topic word isn't directly used in the verse. It does not claim to be exhaustive for every topic but the number of verses included for each topics (or at least the ones I looked at so far) is still impressive.

[Jason Parke · Rating 3 out of 5]

I've used it over the years as a useful tool to find themes in the Bible, and as one to introduce topics within for my children. Further topics and references for serious in- depth study, however, would have been more helpful, but this resource does the trick.

[Sean Jacobs · Rating 5 out of 5]

It is difficult for me to ever give a five-star rating on a book. But, this book has been a great tool in my finding the meaning to many scriptures sited in my novel, Faith - Seventy Times Seven.

I searched for topics on alcoholism, faith, forgiveness, divorce, abuse, abortion...it's all written for finding answers to today's issues, concerns, and problems.

This is a great asset to keep on your desk each and every time you want to find a subject matter discussed in the Bible. Good job Ken on your writing!

[Adriaan Steyn · Rating 4 out of 5]

Ek gebruik hierdie boek baie. Dit is 'n vinnige manier om naslaan werk in die Bybel te doen. Soek ‘n woord soos “Engel” op in die boek en dit gee al die plekke in die Bybel waar daar na ‘n engel verwys word.
Ek gebruik dit selfs wanneer ek toesprake en opstelle skryf om passasies aan te haal om my standpunt te steun. Ek beveel dit vir enige iemand aan.

No Index. Impossible to navigate.

The subject line says it all. I'll never know if this is a good digital book because I cannot possibly find specific topics without turning each page. Maybe print versions would be better because you could fan through the pages. I have no studied comment on the content, because I could never find anything I searched for. Disappointing.

If you can't find it in the Bible on your own, this guide will help you!!!

[Carol Nain · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is an ultimate reference guide for all biblical purposes.
I refer to it on a regular basis.

[John Yelverton · Rating 5 out of 5]

A very helpful and informative book with a fun twist to it as well.

[Jenn · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a great reference book. I use it on a regular basis, especially when the kids come up with questions I never considered.

[Stephanie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good!!!Must have!!

[Jay Dyer · Rating 5 out of 5]

A great companion to any scholar needed quick assess to what and where in the Bible a subject can be found. Of coarse there are better books, but few can be acquired at Wal-Mart.
