"I am writing to say thanks. Wanted to let you know that I've been using the new site since you allowed me to see the preview and I can't thank you enough for the work you've put into this project (Great Treasures). The new site is a huge improvement and is quickly becoming my most suggested NT study tool, period. I put a post together on Friendfeed (socnet) for the new site a few weeks ago and today I'm giving a quick talk about your site to some serious bible students and preachers about the new upgrade. You are doing such a great work with this site. It still astounds me to see what great things can come about when people humbly cooperate with the Almighty." -- Jeremy Hodges

"You have a GREAT site and a very useful tool for Bible study. I am a seminary student and your site has been a tremendous blessing." -- Tom Chandler

"God bless you. This is such a wonderful gift and what I have long been praying for." -- Fay Coulouris

"I have been using the site for several months now. Thank you for this great help to studying and teaching the Bible. I'm also grateful for the addition of the ESV and some of the recent enhancements to help understand the grammar and syntax of the Greek text. Thank you for your work in making God's Holy Word more accessible to a world in dire need of the Gospel of Jesus Christ!" -- Larry Beane

"I am using your site and have recommended it to a friend. You have done a wonderful job, especially with the color-coding of the Greek text. The site is well thought out, useful, and very user-friendly. Great job! I did a little translation in James last night, that aspect is also a great concept, as it encourages you to think through various aspects of translation so that your mechanical rendering can become a thought out spiritual expression of what is being communicated by the text--very thought provoking." -- Daniel R. Berger

"I just love the Word and I want to know all I can know about the Word of God. When I got to your site I was just amazed! The more I saw the more I wanted to see. Beautiful, you are bringing the original language to the 'common' folk, just as Jesus would. Thank you, I intend to use this site for my study and I will tell all!" -- Gail Schoenke

"I am in an introductory course for New Testament Greek in the seminary. When I found your site it was like finding a gold mine.

The site is a FABULOUS tool to add to our toolbox!" -- Sarah R. Madden

Thank you so much for going to this much trouble so the ordinary person can study the Scriptures in the Greek language. I will certainly be passing on your website to people in my church. My Bible studies have gone to another level now which is great. May God continue to bless you in your work." -- Jenny Murphy

"I just stumbled across your site today and have subsequently sent the link to all my colleagues and students. Thanks for making this available to the body of Christ. You should also know I set it as a link for my Greek students on my web page here at the University. I am sure my students and I will continue to benefit from your labors. [The next morning...] Do forgive me if I am being a nag, but I was using the program again this morning, and...what more can I say, this thing ROCKS! I was telling my friend this morning a program like this costs hundreds...hundreds of dollars. Thanks again for making it available to the world!! I can see myself using it for the rest of my life, Lord willing. χάρις σοι καὶ εἰρήνη." -- John Oliff

"The most exciting thing about your website is for the first time I am developing a deeper understand of my Lord and Savior's love. I can feel my Faith growing as I spend more time in the Word and work for those precious Life giving truths that are waiting to be uncovered. Your ministry is at the heart of the Christian Faith in bridging the gap between the original New Testament Language and our Native Language and making it so accessible. I prefer your Color-Coding system by far. I have learned more about Koine Greek from your Visual Greek and Greek Bible Study sites than all of the time that I have spent using the leading grammar book and various Koine Greek websites. Years in the Navy SEAL Teams have taught me 2 valuable principles in learning complex subjects. The first principle is KISS, Keep it Simple. The second principle is proper progression: Crawl, Walk, Run, Sprint learning model. The best way to teach someone nothing is to try and teach them everything to fast. Your system of learning Koine Greek is both KISS and progressive." -- Kory Knowles

Having seen and used hundreds, or even thousands, of language tools in many different types of languages, I can tell you, unequivocally, that yours is the best. You have made a huge difference in my life. I am halfway through John. I translate three verses a day after work. And I am having a great time of it." -- David Sherwood

Nothing, to me, is more exciting than that and I use your site every day!" -- Pam Fernandez

"I am so impressed with the site and I use it for study. Thank you for all that you do!" -- Steve Carr

"I truly appreciate your website and treasure it as a valuable resource. Thank you for creating such a valuable and efficient tool, but even more so for allowing it to be used free of charge. God bless." -- Justin Risedorf

"Thanks for your site, translating was a serious pain, with my lexicons, Greek tools and not enough table space, obviously you know what I am talking about. Words cannot express my joy." -- Kim Lewis

"Soon I will be launching a New Testament Greek class. Your site is fantastic. I will have at least 15 students in my NT Greek class, max. size is 30. It is for adults and high-school students. I will certainly be directing all my students to your site. I am offering an intro course and participants are already asking "What's next?" The answer is clearly that they can with their basics then increase their knowledge by working with your site." -- Elinor Abdulla

"Thank you for this wonderful opportunity to study the Bible in Greek and in English. Nothing seems to be more interesting to me, and I look forward to more. I am so pleased to have this as a tool for my studies." [Then, a while later] "I was thinking that I should send you a note again and mention how very pleased I am to have this fine service as a study aid. So much of what the Lord has in mind seems to come alive in the Greek, and bring this man into a much closer understanding of his matchless grace. I spend time focusing on one single passage, and often one single word that seems to become far more clear in its meaning. For this I am truly thankful, and blessed beyond measure." -- William Blanton

"Thank you for a superior site. Your site clearly opens up so many handy tools. I enjoy and learn from word studies and I have found your site the best for this (for example, you give both short and long definitions, family of words, and breakdown of grammar). Keep up your incredible work." -- Peter O'Brien

"I just found this wonderful site this morning when I was studying. I do have a Greek Interlinear Bible but this site is so much handier for my studying." -- Hill Reid

"Thank you enormously for your service." -- John Howard

"I just wanted to say thanks for your fantastic site. I was searching the internet for resources to help me in my personal study of the scriptures and to connect with the original language. I came across a lot of different resources but most of them wanted you to pay for them. I was happy when I came across this site, it had all the information I needed to help better understand God's word and break the language barrier that I had. I enjoy how simple it is to use and best of all you don't have to be an expert at Greek. I use it everyday in my studies. I love this site so much. May God bless you for your efforts." -- Keith Paxton

"What an excellent tool, THANK YOU! I was online looking for a Greek dictionary and stumbled into your site. It is everything I was asking for and so much more. I'm still learning the ropes of getting the best out of it, but it is a joy and a pleasure to mine God's Word through your effort. Thank you so much for making it accessible to me.

Whereas I can easily pull up these resources on your website in the comfort of my living room. If I want to do further in depth study I can go to my Kittel, art and gingrich, wallace gk gram.
