Key to original accession number system

The five digit accession number locates the citation in the collection (discontinued). For example, "40007" is the seventh consecutive original, annotated citation in Chapter 4. Notice there may be cross referenced citations between original citations. So it may be necessary to skip through citations to find a successive citation number within its chapter. Cross referenced citations are always within brackets "[40007]" (incomplete.) Therefore, if a cross referenced citation gives only the author and short title, then, in some cases, a full citation may be found in chapter where the original citation is located. Notice that accession numbers were also used in the print edition of the Index of Authors and Titles.

Some of the original accession numbers remain in the THE WEB EDITION, but frequent additions and alterations make it impossible to assign new accession numbers.

Browsing and single-site searches

The Windows "Find" command may be used to find any word or phrase on a web pages. If you are not using Windows, then check the help features of both the browser and the operating system for instructions.

The advanced search feature of Google.com may be used to search just one domain. THE WEB EDITION OF BIBLICAL COUNSEL: RESOURCES FOR RENEWAL is located in five separate domains:

• www.lettermen2.com,
• members.aol.com/lettermen3,
• members.aol.com/lettermen5,
• members.aol.com/lettermen2, and
• members.aol.com/SKettler,

Google.com allows the user to narrow a search to PDF files only by adding the phrase "inurl:pdf." For example, if "Christian classic inurl:pdf" is searched, then Google.com will provided links to only PDF files of Christian classics.

Indexing

Chapter 3 contains the topical listing, "Christian Classics Short Title Listing" that includes the approximately 270 citations to Christian classics in this database. They are identified in the annotation with the sentence "A Christian classic."

The print edition included indexes to authors and titles, scripture, and subjects. Because THE WEB EDITION is constantly changing, and because of the new single site search features of Google, the published indexes are obsolete. However, they may still be helpful in browsing.

See the Preface for further comments on the problem of indexing.

Author's names appearing in all caps indicates the title is available from Still Waters Revival Books.

Additional information about the book

Book Flyer for Biblical Counsel: Resources for Renewal

Association with amazon.com

The Amazon.com database provides, among other things, the following information:

• records for most books-in-print,
• the International Standard Book Number (ISBN). Books published before 1966 may not have an ISBN number unless they have been reprinted after 1966. The Amazon.com 10-digit ASIN number may be either the International Standard Book Number or the Amazon Standard Identification Number (ASIN). If the book has a 10-digit ISBN, then Amazon uses it as their ASIN number. If the book does not have a 10-digit ISBN then Amazon.com assigns a 10-digit, all-caps, alpha-numeric ASIN. "The Amazon Standard Identification Number (ASIN) is a product identification number used by Amazon.com and its partners. Despite the name, it is not a 'standard' outside of Amazon.com, but is used consistently for referencing products within the Amazon network of sites. The words 'Amazon Standard' should therefore be read as 'standard internal to Amazon,' rather than 'external standard initiated by Amazon'."
• listings of other works by the same author (click on the author's name,)
• other titles bought by customers who bought the subject title,
• publisher's annotation,
• editorial reviews,
• reviews by Amazon.com staff and published book reviews,
• reader's comments,
• the opportunity to buy or sell a used copy of the book on the Amazon.com page for the new book
• used books and out-of-print search service,
• automatic email notification when new titles are released or titles are reprinted,
• links to auctions offering the book,
• "Listmania" topical listings by readers,
• "Personal Favorites" features, and
• so forth, and so on.
