Most commentaries deal with the meaning of a text without forming principles for living or showing how to live out those principles in real life. Verse by Verse gives pastors and Bible teachers sermon ideas and even demonstrates how to apply scripture in sermons. This commentary set also forms a conduit from God’s revelation to man’s experience. Through application of the principles of the Word of God to experience each child of God will become more like the Son of God.
Although these studies are based on Hebrew and Greek research, they are written in a clear and pithy style. Pastors or Bible teachers can readily get to the point with Verse by Verse. Fifteen books of the Bible are covered in this set, each starting with a concise introduction and outline. The series is committed to the infallible, inerrant, and inspired Word of God.

More About This Collection
Each Verse by Verse commentary begins with helpful background information about each book's author, date, purpose, theme and value. The commentary section is laid out in an easy-to-follow format. Richison provides commentary on every verse along with a principle that summarizes what the verse. But Verse by Verse doesn't stop there, an application section under each verse further illustrates how each principle can be "lived out" in the reader's life. That's what makes this collection so special. Verse by Verse was written to make Christians more aware of what the Bible says for their life. It's easy to see that the author has a heartfelt desire to embolden Christians in their knowledge of Scripture and the effect that it has on their daily lives.

- William E. Nix, Ph.D., President of the Electronic Bible Society
Grant Richison has given all pastors and teachers a new tool to mine the wealth of truth in God’s Word. I have always been a proponent of working “smarter not harder” because of the stewardship of my time. When I used “Verse by verse” it literally cut my research time by more than half, not to mention the fact that Dr. Richison has provided access to resources well beyond the volumes on my shelves! While the Word we proclaim never changes, Dr. Richison has provided a new and wonderful tool for our study of it! I believe every serious student of the scriptures who is looking for a portal through which he can have all the necessary resources literally at his fingertips will love Verse by Verse!
