I want to learn from your experience which book you have discovered to be helpful in your studies? (dictionary? commentary, Study Bible etc.)
Here's a slice of resources in my library that have 5 star ratings (there could be more, it's about time for me to do some more organization in my library)
Easy answer Tes. I use several books all from my Bible.
But I also use K & D Old Testament Commentary, Baker Ex Commentary, Pillar NT, NAC, NIGTC, Baker NT, Horae Homil, and Calvin's make up my prefered commentaries. I have other commentaries I may or may not use and some that may change as I get more commentaries later.
For dictionary I always use MW Collegiate. For Bible dictionaries I use Eerdman's, Tyndale's and Holman's.
I also always have available a Harmony of the Gospels, Holman Bible Atlas, a Systematic Theology book or two and a book that tells how to properly prounounce Bible names. These are resources I use on a daily study that makeup my layout.
Now, I also have made up reading plans and have other layouts for other books that deal with ministry. Things such as preaching, counseling, etc. Currently, I am studying the Canon of Scripture F.F. Bruce, Christian Theology Millard J. Erikson, and prayer with a collection of resources I made up.
