What Does That Bible Word Even Mean?

An Honest Dictionary for Real Readers. 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. This volume covers 430 essential Scripture words, A to Z, grouped into 10 sections: God and His Names, Jesus, Salvation and the Cross, The Holy Spirit and the Christian Life, Sin, Grace and Repentance, The Church, Worship and the Sacraments, Law, Sacrifice and Covenant, People of Scripture, Places of Scripture, Everyday Life and Objects, Hard Words and the End of the Story. 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: a 30-day reading walk for taking the words a little at a time.
