Summary

Halley's Bible Handbook was born out of the conviction of Henry H. Halley that everyone ought to read the Bible daily. From its first edition, a small give-away booklet of 16 pages, it has grown into an 864-page "almanac" of biblical information, used regularly by hundreds of thousands of laymen, teachers, and ministers. Halley's Bible Handbook contains more biblical information than any other book of its size. It has been a continuous best-seller through the years and has sold more than five million copies in many languages.

Author Biography

Dr. Henry H. Halley, author, minister, and Bible lecturer, was ordained to the ministry in 1898. He developed a fondness for memorizing favorite passages of the Bible until he could recite from memory entire books from the Bible, in abridged, connected form and in their own words. For many years his lifework was the giving of these Bible recitals, each one preceded by an introductory statement about the historical setting of the book. Out of these recitals grew Halley's Bible Handbook.
