Looks like no one proofed this before it was released. Countless words have been misspelled and the table of contents is almost like not having one at all. This is by far the worst book that I have gotten on Kindle. Im still trying to figure out how to get my 0.99 back. Its not even worth that much. I wish I never made the purchase...0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great reference bookBy Rev. Rebecca A.
