5 stars (Small group training manual) - Our congregation has used Bill Donahue's Leading Life-Changing Small Groups as our primary reference manual for training small group leaders for over 5 years.

5 stars (Great Book ) - This was my first grammar that I got, not knowing it was for second year students and beyond. I had learned something about Greek and the biblical text and all that because of my interest in apologetics and cults. This book helped me on some of the texts that cults like to use and abuse for their own purpose. Now being in seminary, and planning to study Greek in the future, it will be something I will need. It also directed me to William Mounce's work which was great. God Bless Dr. Wallace. 5 stars (A Great Grammar...Helps Your Understanding) - I have long enjoyed the writings of Dr. Wallace. His writings on the biblical textual issue in particular have caused my mind to be stirred and my spirit to be awakened to the living reality of the New Testament. His grammar is only slightly less exciting than that - and that's MY fault, not his. Wallace gives many examples that make his book relevant, contemporary, and accurate. Given how difficult it really is to understand some of the Greek volumes - just read A.T. Robertson - this one never fails to make its case easier to understand. Thank you, sir. 3 stars (Is it a grammar or an Evangelical apology ?) - Please do not misunderstand the provocative title of my comment: I am not saying that this book is worthless and that you should avoid buying it. On the contrary, I think that Wallace's grammar is an invaluable work worth every dollar you spend for it. First of all, unlike other grammars, this one is as thrilling as a detective novel. Of course, unless you are deeply interested in NT exegesis, you will probably find Wallace's huge treatise anything but gripping. But if like me you are an impassioned reader of the Gospel and its original text, you will surely love this book.And the good news is that it is not for advanced learners of koine Greek only. In fact I started using it with minimal knowledge of Greek and I have little doubt that a complete stranger to the language of Luke and Paul c...

4 stars (I searched all over for this Book) - This is truly a Great Bible. I really like the way the pages are laid out and the references at the back of the Bible are fantastic. The only problem I had is they said it had large print and I find it to be medium to be kind. There is just no way to fit four columns on a page with using what I consider LARGE print. Otherwise. I feel this Bible is what I have looked for for a long time. The leather binding is well made and the whole book is beautiful. I knew I wanted the NIV version of the Bible and I feel I found the best of all the books I checked out, and the price was right. ...
