Can't get your teenager to study the Bible or bone up for his or her college entrance exams? This may be just what you need to begin to create an all-around scholar.

Written by a father and son duo, both Washington, D.C. educators, this book aims to strengthen young people's vocabulary by providing definitions of words from the Bible that also appear on standardized tests.

The book contains word lists from every book in the Bible and includes definitions, synonyms and review questions at the end of each chapter. A great companion book for youth Bible study.
