The 3-in-1 Bible Guide
Are you looking for basic Bible information? Don’t want to wade through long, technical explanations of people, places, things, or ideas? The 3-in-1 Bible Guide is your go-to resource for everyday use! For many people, a simple explanation is much more helpful than a long, theological treatise ever would be. That’s the philosophy behind The 3-in-1 Bible A Dictionary, Concordance, and Atlas for Everyday Study. This compact, beautifully designed reference book offers the most important details on Bible people, places, things, and ideas, along with key references you can look up for additional information. And, when appropriate, related entries are cross-referenced and keyed to some three dozen informative maps. The 3-in-1 Bible Guide is perfect if you’re unfamiliar with the depths of scripture, but it’s also useful if you’re a Bible veteran who just wants a quick refresher on God’s Word.

Impressions: I’ll get right to the point. A study Bible has the same information this book offers. I prefer my study Bible with everything in one place rather than having multiple books to carry and spread out to read. If you don’t have a study Bible this book would be a great addition to your bookshelf. I have this book as an ebook and this version was challenging to utilize. I found it difficult to jump around reading which is why I would recommend a hard copy for any use of this book. I also found the maps to be difficult to view. I wanted to zoom in or change the orientation but I couldn’t. Additionally, there were no references to go with the maps. I love looking at historical context while reading my Bible but it is helpful to know what you are looking at when viewing and not having to search. I can’t deny that this book offers all that it says in its book blurb. I personally did not find it helpful and think that it is useless as an ebook. I do hope that if you decide to purchase this book, that it brings you closer to the Lord in your study of His word.
I received an ARC of this book via NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for my honest review shared here.

A basic Bible Study Help
The "3-in-1 Bible Guide. A dictionary, Concordance, and Atlas for Everyday Study" was written b George W. Knight, compiled by Barbour Staff and printed by Barbour Publishing. As goal of the one-volume resource which combines dictionary, concordance, and maps, the author states: "The 3-in-1 Bible Guide is designed for everyday Bible students rather than scholars. It is intended to be handy, concise, and easy to understand. We hope you will find insight and clarity into God’s Word as you use this guide" (p. 3). The articles are short and precise, but nevertheless include the some of the cross-references in the Bible as well as references to the maps for the locations that are presented in the dictionary part of the book. It is good to note that the book presents only short information. For more extensive details about a topic reference works (such as Bible Dictionaries, Concordances, and Bible Atlases) need to be consulted. I appreciate that, even such, the book includes variant readings for key words, persons, and places, which is helpful. A list of abbreviations and a list of maps are also included at the beginning of the book. I recommend this handy tool for personal use, for Bible students, and for Bible study groups, especially for people who do not (yet) own a study Bible or other Bible study resources.
The complimentary copy of this book was provided by the publisher through NetGalley free of charge. I was under no obligation to offer a positive review. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

3-in-1 Bible Guide is what the title says. This book includes brief dictionary definitions, concordance, and commentary. I love the concept behind this. While many study Bibles already include this information I would enjoy having this at my fingertips during my Bible studying everyday.
All that being said reviewing this book from a NetGalley format proved challenging. I hope the finalized eBook version includes a table of contents or at least a way to jump forward to a specific topic/word/map. There is a lot of cross-referencing throughout due to the concordance nature but I was unable to jump to something that was referenced for further study or investigation. Since I'm not editing this title just reviewing it I would have loved to be able to use it like it's intended. I would recommend a physical copy of this title to those considering it. Then you would be free to flip back and forth to what you're studying.
I often find my memory about certain people and places are quickly fuzzy, especially when reading passages with words I cannot pronounce. I think this would be a great resource to help jog my memory about specific people groups mentioned throughtout the Bible. I would LOVE if this also included phonetical pronounciations. :)
This is defintely a layman's resource, not intended for scholars.
All in all I would recommend this book.
Thank you Barbour Publishing and NetGalley for this opportunity to review this book. All opinions are my own.

3-in-1 Bible Guide: A Dictionary, Concordance, and Atlas for Everyday Study
I love tools for reading my Bible, so I jumped at the opportunity to get this book. I love how all of the references are together and color coded in this book, taking the guess work out of it, and making looking up words/people/locations in the Bible quick and easy, which is great for a beginner who is new to Bible study and may be overwhelmed. It’s also great because you don’t have to have multiple books to flip through to find the information you are looking for. I did have a digital version which made it a little difficult to get to the maps, so it may be a book you would want a physical copy of for ease of use (unless the Kindle version has links to the maps, which would be great). I also liked that it’s based off the KJV Bible.
Thank you to Barbour Publishing and NetGalley for the advanced copy of this book!
