Book excerpt: A 5 ½ x 8" leather bound Bible annotated with complete and cross-referenced commentaries from Ellen G. White, the author of Desire of Ages, which has been recognized by the Library of Congress as the best book about Christ Jesus. The compactness of the Bible belies the richness of the content. The Compact Bible is a stand-alone reference library for sermon preparation, Bible studies, and personal devotional readings because you have E.G. White's comments and appropriate illustrations right on the same page as the Bible passages as well as a comprehensive concordance, question and answer Bible study topics and many more features. Using the Compact Bible is like having a compact library on the go. This Bible was sold at ABC Bookstore from 1997.
