Reviews - What do our customers think?
 | Great resource Jul 23, 2008 |
| This book has helpful illustrations, charts, and photographs which help with understanding the book of Acts within its cultural context. It was helpful for me to use for research as I prepared to teach Acts. | | | | A must have commentary! Nov 7, 2007 |
| This commentary is a great addition to any collection for the serious student of the Word of God. The insight and understanding that it brings to the events surrounding and even behind the text makes this an invaluable addition to anyone's library of Biblical reference materials. | | | Write your own review about Commentary-Acts (Zondervan Illust Bible Backgrou Comm)

Our Life Application Study bibles are on sale all the time - and we just reduced the prices even more.

And even though Mothers Day is yet to come, we've already been planning our Mothers Sales. A huge selection of purity rings in Stainless Steel and Sterling Silver are now reduced 20% - but only while supplies last. This is a one of a kind price reduction that will not be repeated! We've also worked hard with our fiction line, reducing most adult fiction by 20% or more from the list price.
