“Students will find biblical texts of increasing difficulty, clear and concise explanations of grammatical and syntactical concepts, and a simple format that lends itself to student learning.

Fullilove’s Graded Reader provides a superb resource for students.”

—Adam J. Howell, Assistant Professor of Old Testament Interpretation, Boyce: The College at Southern

—Scott C. Jones, Professor of Biblical and Theological Studies, Covenant College

“Offers students of biblical Hebrew a powerful tool for retaining and improving their grasp of the language. Learning a language is more than memorization and drills, and Dr. Fullilove serves the endeavor as he guides us through representative passages from the biblical text.”
