Book Description, Modified from Goodreads:
Amen! We often end our prayers with this ancient Hebrew word, but what does it really mean? Shalom, another common Hebrew word, is usually translated as “peace,” yet it infers so much more! 50 Hebrew Words Every Christian Should Know is a treasure trove of information that helps readers explore the Hebrew meaning of important words in the Old Testament. Straightforward and accessible, this reference pamphlet and Bible-study aid offers the basics in each English transliteration and Hebrew spelling, a key Scripture, pronunciation and definition, a short explanation, and relevant Scripture references.

Sharpen your Bible knowledge by mining interesting facts and fresh, nuanced meanings that we often miss in our English translations. The compact pamphlet format is perfect for tucking into your Bible or sharing with your Bible study companions.

Enjoy having an easy-to-use Bible reference source you can carry with you or hand to a friend. Learn how to pronounce, define, and understand Hebrew words like: Amen (surely, so be it, etc.)
Halal (praise, boast)
Ruach (spirit, breath, wind)
Satan (adversary, opponent, and more)
YHWH (personal name of God)


Includes 6 full-color charts with easy-to-read headers and summaries that are designed to help you find all the information you need at a glance.


My Review:
This is basically a chart format containing 50 common Hebrew words. The first column is the English transliteration of the Hebrew word (listed in alphabetical order), how to pronounce it, and the word in Hebrew. The second column is a brief definition of the word. The third column is one verse where the word is used and under that are a few more Scripture references for the word that you can look up. The final column provides insights: basically a paragraph-long word study on how it's used in the Bible and related words that might provide deeper understanding. This isn't an in-depth study on these words or even devotional-style insights as it's too brief. But it is a beginning point for some word studies and a quick way to learn a bit more about these common words.
