Unlocking the Bible by David Pawson

David Pawson’s self-proclaimed life work, this massive book gives an overview of every book of the Bible, with historical background and modern-day examples with very simple, readable language. Reading Pawson’s chapter on a specific book will help you dramatically in understanding the Bible by giving you all of the relevant information on the Scripture. I highly recommend this resource!

Unger's Bible Handbook by Merrill Unger

Unger’s Bible Handbook is an illustrated handbook of the whole Bible, giving a paragraph or two of commentary on each passage. It retains your interest and gives you a great overview of a passage, chapter, or book of the Bible. I use it as part of my Bible study plan to understand the Word and be mighty in the Scriptures.

Accordance Bible Software for Mac

Accordance is the premier Bible study program for Mac. It's full of rich features, Greek and Hebrew texts, commentaries, books, Bible versions, maps, timelines, and other interactive media.

Accordance has many commentaries, Greek and Hebrew lexicons, maps, books, and more – all with a great search function. For what it has, it is much better than the more expensive alternatives and serves me very well. The customer support and user community is great as well. The basic version starts at a price point less than $100, with several other levels of pricing up to somewhere around $300.

I've used Accordance for several years now. It was easy to learn and gets you the specific information you're looking for in just a couple of steps. It even has a widget for OS X's Dashboard to be able to look up scriptures quickly. The interface is powerful, clean, and simple - everything you would expect from a nice Mac program.

I use it with a set of Quicksilver actions to be able to copy and paste scriptures real-time into Word documents and teaching notes that I'm creating.

End times

When Jesus Returns by David Pawson

This book is another great resource to get a simple, down-to-earth perspective of Biblical prophecy related to the end-times. David Pawson unpacks scripture in a clear manner that everyone can easily understand.

In these days of concern about the end-times, what is really known about Christ's second coming and how can we prepare for it? Christians everywhere await Christ's return. Will He come to the whole world or just one place? Soon and suddenly or after clear signs? What can He achieve by coming back here and how long will it take? David Pawson brings clarity and insight to these and many other vital issues surrounding the bodily return of Jesus Christ to our world. Based on a new approach to the interpretation of the book of Revelation, he discusses in detail the controversial and misunderstood subject of the "Rapture" and uncovers the true significance of the "Millennium".

Anything by David Pawson is quality - he is really one of my hero authors :)

End-Times Simplified by David Sliker

I always recommend this book to those hungry to study end-time prophecy for the first time and for those who may have heard a little teaching on it before. David clearly lays out the events and main players of the end-times, but what I appreciate most is the time he spends describing the "why" behind the "what" will happen.

Understanding the end-times is about understanding the leadership of Jesus. Because the knowledge of Jesus is for everybody, knowing the end-times is for everybody - not just the select few who have a scholarly disposition.

The End-Times. It's a subject many people don't know how to approach. The questions in our hearts seem endless. Should we be afraid of the future? Will Christians face tribulation in the End-Times? Do we have a role as part of the Church in the End-Times? How do we know when the End-Times will come? Are the End-Times coming soon? How can we understand what the Bible says about the End-Times?

There are answers, and the Bible is clearer than we often think. End-Times Simplified addresses many of the common questions about the End-Times and gives easy-to-understand explanations. It also provides guidance about how we can study, prepare for and come to love God's plan for the End of the Age. Best of all, it will stir a desire in you to learn more, to go on your own journey of discovery into what God's heart is for every person in the End-Times and in the eternal age to come.

Exposition on Ephesians by Martyn Lloyd-Jones

One of my favorite commentators and exegetes, Martyn Lloyd-Jones, writes 8 volumes on the book of Ephesians. I spent a large amount of time several years ago studying Ephesians, and Lloyd-Jones’ commentaries and teaching proved to be an excellent resource. There are 8 volumes in the set, but each volume can also be purchased separately.

Studies in the Sermon on the Mount by Martyn Lloyd-Jones

A spiritual classic, this detailed and comprehensive study by one of the greatest expository preachers of our time explains Christ's teaching in the Sermon on the Mount and incisively applies it to the Christian life. The Sermon on the Mount, or what is often dubbed “Christianity 101”, is beautifully explained by Lloyd-Jones. His words cut to the heart and encourage me all at the same time.

Jesus and the God of Israel by Richard Bauckham

This is a book on Christology and Jewish monotheism. Bauckham proves that the New Testament writers understood Jesus Christ as the Creator and Ruler of all things, making Him one with the Father. Through a very persuasive argument Bauckham shows that there was no contradiction in the minds of first century Jews when worshipping Jesus as YHWH.

Apostolic Foundations by Art Katz

The church is built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets (Eph. 2:20). In his penetrating manner, Art seeks to capture the flavor and essential meaning of this most holy foundation. Few have adequately understood that unless the Church is built on this foundation, it is simply not the Church in any authentic way. I first heard Art speak back in 2005 and was completely clueless as to what he was saying though I felt a weightiness on my spirit. I began to read this book and the Lord convicted me of so many things regarding the state of the church, the condition of my own heart, and why we must contend for the restoration of the church as seen in the book of Acts.

Entirety - Love Gives All by Dana Candler

God created us with an innate desire to be wholehearted—to love in a way that He Himself loves, entirely and without reservation. This book focuses on the nature of love to give all, both as it burns in God's heart and as it arises from ours. We can actually love God with full abandonment in the present and not just in the future. Our longing to be wholehearted can actually be answered as we give God everything today. This book continues to be one of my favorites. Dana’s language pulls on the strings of my heart and provokes me to love Jesus with greater abandon!

Why Revival Tarries by Leonard Ravenhill

Leonard Ravenhill became one of the twentieth century's greatest authorities on revival, and the heart of his message to the Church is contained in these pages. His message is drastic, fearless, and often radical. Appalled by the disparity between the New Testament Church and what passes for the Church today, Ravenhill gives a no-compromise call to the principles of biblical revival. If this book does not provoke you to cry out for revival and for the church to be awakened to God, I am not sure what will. This one is just as weighty for my spirit as Art Katz’s “Apostolic Foundations”.

The Knowledge of the Holy by A.W. Tozer

I carry this book in my bag with me everywhere. It is one of those "read this once a month" books. Each chapter is very brief - no more than a few pages - but Tozer power packs each phrase with a bomb that hits your spirit and makes you so hungry to know the Infinite.

What is the nature of God? How can we recapture a real sense of God's majesty and truly live in the Spirit? This beloved book, a modern classic of Christian testimony and devotion, addresses these and other vital questions, showing us how we can rejuvenate our prayer life, meditate more reverently, understand God more deeply, and experience God's presence in our daily lives.

I'm blown away by the biblical account of the glory of creation before the fall. Phil Wickham's song "Eden" takes on a whole new meaning! Posted 9 hours 19 min ago
