About
Scripture words explained like a friend would.
You are reading your Bible and you hit a word you have seen a hundred times without ever pinning it down. You do not want a lecture from a seminary. You want to know what the word means, where it shows up, and why it matters on the page in front of you. That is the whole job of this book.
The Kitchen-Table Bible Dictionary covers 439 essential Scripture words, A to Z. Every entry gives you the same things in the same order, so you always know where to look: how to say the word out loud, where it comes from in Hebrew or Greek, what it plainly means, a short "Good to know" background note, three or four key passages, a kitchen-table moment that shows the word at work in ordinary life, a verse to sit with, and cross-references to related words.
Written for ordinary readers, in plain English, with the warmth of a friend explaining something across the table rather than a reference book lecturing from a shelf.
Also inside: Why This Book Exists, How to Use This Book, Start Here (the first twenty words to learn), Find It by Topic, a 30-Day Kitchen-Table Walk for reading through the words a little at a time, and a translation chooser to help you pick a Bible to read alongside it.
