Bookstore
A collection of resources I’ve found useful in working God’s Word. I don’t recommend most “study” books or guides because they often lead the reader toward the author’s conclusions rather than letting Scripture interpret itself.
To make the Word your own, you need to become comfortable doing your own research. These books are tools that can help with that work. I mention them when I’ve used them in the material I present.
