This new volume combines Joel Meredith's two books of Bible lists for a total of 375 lists! Includes easy access to lists like the Ten Commandments, the gifts of the Spirit, and the Beatitudes. But it doesn't stop with the expected. It also offers lists of people raised from the dead and people who were struck blind.

A great resource for students, families, or anyone wanting to learn more about the Bible.
How many people know the thirty-one things God hates, the twenty things missing in heaven, or the twenty-two prophecies fulfilled by Jesus? Merely to mention such lists piques interest, because almost everyone finds list irresistible. Bob Phillip's book plays to that natural curiosity, giving readers the longest and the shortest, the most and the least, and the greatest and the smallest from the pages of the Bible. The lists range widely from theology and characters to wisdom and humor, including such subjects as: 33 contrasts between Christ and the antichrist; 140 major Bible characters; 59 titles of Christ; 125 counseling helps from the Bible; and 5 major ways God reveals Himself. Scripture references accompany all lists, making the book not merely fascinating entertainment, but a valuable reference tool for Bible students, pastors, and teachers.
Here's proof that the Bible is definitely not dull! A totally unique collection of two bestselling collections of fascinating Bible facts, Meredith's Big Book of Bible Lists is stuffed from cover to cover with thought-provoking information not found anywhere else. Beyond giving obvious lists - the Ten Commandments, the Beatitudes, and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, for example - Meredith's Big Book of Bible Lists stretches out into refreshingly unfamiliar territory. Nearly forty main categories contain hundreds of lists, from "fifty ways to please God" to "the six hairiest men in the Bible," and from "seventeen hugs and kisses" to "murder weapons and devices." Surprising and informative, this easy-to-read, entertaining book is hard to put down. Readers will find it a ready and intriguing source for entertainment, browsing, reference work, topical studies, research, and more.
