This is a good readable condition. The pages are clean, there are a couple of underscored sentences and some dog earred pages. The dust jacket has some wear. This is a hardback edition, the binding and end papers are tight, no spine wear. First published in 1984 by the Christian Broadcasting Network, there were subsequent editions by a different publisher. The original owner made a note on the inside cover refering to date recieved and a couple of scripture references.
