Nelson’s Illustrated Guide to Religions
By James A. Beverley

A Comprehensive Introduction to the Religions of the World

“Professor Beverley is on of the major Christian leaders in the study and analysis of new and world religions. His Nelson’s Illustrated Guide to Religions is an important addition to my library.” – Gary R. Habermas
Distinguished Research Professor, Liberty University

First and foremost, I believe you should know that this a very large book. In fact, it’s 850 pages in length. It may seem overwhelming but it’s content is organized extremely well, which makes it an easy read.

James A. Beverley, the author of this book, took on three decades of detailed work in order to create this wonderful resource. This book should be in the hands of every man and woman willing to learn about the other religions around them. I found this book a wonderful resource with it’s extremely detailed maps, charts, time lines, full colored illustrations, photos, and very helpful index. This volume  features all main religions as well other branches and within Christianity.

I like that this book is written in a compassionate way as to teach us to respect others  in what they believe, in a caring and loving matter as would Christ.  I believe as  Christians, we should know what we believe as questions of our own faith will arise from others around us.

This book is a well written comprehensive guide and I will hands down recommend it to anyone hankering to learn more about the beliefs regarding all the religions around them.

The NKJV American Patriot’s Bible, Hardcover
By Dr. Richard Lee
Publisher: Thomas Nelson

A You Tube video featuring  The American Patriot’s Bible and Sample PDF .

First and foremost, this is not your typical study Bible as it’s main focuses is on America’s Godly heritage. I am glad that someone decided to make a Bible that is intertwined with American History as that is what this country was founded on. Throughout this book, you’ll find 48 full-color insert pages presented in 12 for-page sections discussing different point in U.S. History.

I enjoyed reading about the leaders, and statesman; seeing the colorful illustrations and photos; being reminded of patriotic songs and poems by famous Americans. You’ll  find many great leaders mentioned in history from George Washington to our newly elected President Barack Obama. I was so encouraged to be reminded and learn a few new things in using this wonderful resource that reminds us how godly qualities in people made America the great nation that is is today.

The Large Print is a wonderful addition as is the family record section of this Bible. I know for years and years to come in my household this Bible will not only used by me but by my children and their children as well.   The American Patriot’s Bible is an ideal gift for veterans,  students of American history, and families in any christian home.
