Keep the whole set within reach on your desktop. Grab a volume or two volumes and take them with you anywhere. Each NIV Compact book packs a lot of information in a small package -- one that fits where other books won't and travels light when larger volumes tip the scales.

And the price is as compact as the size -- but don't let the modest cost fool you. There's a lot of knowledge here, condensed to provide the most salient information in an efficient format. For a hand-sized reference library that does more than scratch the surface, this 4-volume series is the route to take: big on insight, small in size, and easy on the pocketbook.

Now in softcover, the NIV Compact Series includes:
-- NIV Compact Bible Commentary -- Begins with the larger context -- the Bible as a whole -- then shows how all its books fit into the grand picture. It offers valuable, wide-angle perspectives on the central messages of Scripture.
