I find the Common English Bible stands apart. The CEB has become my Bible of choice. I find, as I read a biblical book, that I have the same sensation as any other work, fiction or non-fiction, that I read for enjoyment: I can’t put it down. I carry it with me to hospitals and on visits. I use it for personal study. That, to me, is probably the most important thing of all. - Pastor Frank Ramirez, Everett Church of the Brethren Everett, Pennsylvania.

The Common English Bible team, focused largely on Protestant readers, has made a series of smart choices to ensure widespread use. When translating the Bible, the scholars worked with grassroots reading groups nationwide to perfect the real-life readability of the text. The new CEB Bible Map Guide: Explore the Lands of the Old and New Testaments (Bible Common English Guide) uses colorful, easy-to-use National Geographic maps, published in a reasonably priced edition that's larger than most "study Bible" map sections.

Just because the Bible atlas is bigger than expected doesn't mean the CEB team made the same choice with their Bible dictionary. On the contrary, this dictionary is made to tuck into your pocket. Just how handy is this dictionary? For example, in our ReadTheSpirit offices, we've got a great big NIV Bible dictionary that stands about 10 inches tall and weighs in at 3 pounds. And that's drawing our comparison with a reasonably sized Bible dictionary. Others, including the massive, multi-volume New Interpreters Bible Dictionary are even bigger! In contrast, the new CEB dictionary is just 7.4 inches tall and only 1 pound. It's easy to tuck into a purse or tote bag, when heading to a Sunday-school class or simply enjoying a little personal Bible study during a break in a busy day.

Considering its small size, the clear black type is printed on thick, easy-to-turn pages. So, if you're a Bible reader who gets annoyed with the onion-skin feel of some Bible editions, you'll love this Bible dictionary. Even older Bible readers with fading dexterity in their fingertips can easily flip these pages.

Most importantly, the CEB offers the entire Bible, including the books that Protestants refer to as the Apocrypha, and this Bible Dictionary includes entries that relate to the Apocrypha. Of course, in-depth Bible research still take Bible readers deeper into resources like the New Interpreters, but this sturdy 447-page CEB dictionary will answer lots of questions in lots of places.

I have Bible Dictionaries that are 20 plus years old that are better than this one. The publishing house should be ashamed of this. Why would they chose to have it printed in China? Did all American publishers reject it????
