Books in At a Glance series

The Bible can be overwhelming.There are 66 books, written by over 40 different authors.It's easy to see how children (& adults!) get confused when studying the different characters, stories, and teachings of the Bible...Imagine picking up one of Shakespeare's books and trying to read page 200, then page 10, then page 150... It wouldn't make any sense!Yet, this is what we do with the Bible! We hop around and go "out of order".Abraham one day, David the next, and Jesus the following week. It can seem like these men all walked side-by-side, but in fact they lived 1,000 years apart!The two things missing from most Bible lessons are PLACEMENT & CONTEXT.Our Books of the Bible Reference Sheets were designed to provide context to each of the 66 books of the Bible.Each book has it's own one-page "cheat sheet" full of the who-what-when-where-why background information. They provide the necessary background to frame how a particular lesson fits into God's historic story.They are the ultimate companion to ANY Bible lesson.

Perfect as a take-along guide for visitors to the Far East, it features city maps, information on public transportation systems, general information for visitors to Japan, and bilingual lists of more than 1,500 most-often-used words and expressions for travelers, in the form of phonetic spellings of Japanese words with their English translations. The book's page edges are color-coded by topic for quick reference.

The newest edition of the pocket-sized combination phrase book and dictionary provides both Japanese characters and Romaji, the standard Roman alphabet transliteration of Japanese. The book presents more than 1,500 expressions and their English meanings in two separate sections: Japanese-to-English, and English-to-Japanese. Other features include an additional 2,000 key words, and useful tourist aids-city maps, travel tips, and food and shopping guides. Japanese at a Glance makes an ideal travel companion for the English-speaking visitor to Japan. The book is also available with an approximately 90-minute-long audio tape and script booklet as part of Barron's very popular Now You're Talking in No Time! language-learning series.
