This book set consists of three small hardcover books - a Bible dictionary, Quick Reference Concordance, and a Bible Handbook. The Quick Reference Concordance does an excellent job of finding the middle ground between the small concordance typically found in the back of a Bible and an exhaustive concordance such as Strong's. It not only lists the individual words but also key phrases and where to find them. This is a very nice and intuitive concordance that is both useful and user-friendly.

The Bible Dictionary contains thousands of entries with both a definition of the entry and a reference to specific verses where it occurs. Also included are several small black-and-white photographs.

The Bible Handbook contains a short introduction to each book of the Bible, a summary of the book, and various notes in the form of sidebars. This is a very well done small handbook. I especially like the summary of each book of the Bible. The author takes a section of the book that is related to a particular theme or event, lists the particular verses, and then provides the summary of that theme or event. This way you know not only what is happening but also the specific verses if you want to go back to the Bible and read the whole text.

Although the books are small they are packed with accurate, useful information. This desk reference set makes an excellent gift for your favorite pastor, Bible teacher, or Bible student. Easily one of the most useful and user-friendly sets for the average Bible student, The Layman's Desk Reference Set is highly recommended and an excellent resource for Christians.
