Basics of Biblical Greek
William D. Mounce
"The main purpose of writing this book is to help you to understand better and to communicate more clearly the word of God."
One goal of mine is to someday learn to read the New Testament in its original Greek. I hope to allocate a "semester" to go through this textbook.
It comes with a CD-ROM that has the pronunctiation.

Basics of Biblical Greek: Workbook
William D. Mounce
This is the workbook for learning New Testament Greek. YOU KNOW HOW YOU HATE IT WHEN YOU GET AN EMAIL WRITTEN IN ALL CAPS? Well,
the original New Testament manuscripts were written in all caps, with no punctuation, and no spaces between words. Greek lowercase scipt, punctuation, and spaces were
introduced in later manuscripts.

Student Bible
NIV
A very good "take to church" and also "study at home" Bible. It has notes placed throughout the text that offer insight into
passages. Philip Yancey wrote the notes for the Old Testament. His study of the Old Testament prompted him to later write The Bible Jesus Read

Teen Study Bible
NIV
This is the Bible that I originally used when I led a youth group. It is geared for younger teens. Older teens will probably
appreciate the Student Bible or a study Bible.

The American Heritage College Dictionary
A good dictionary - and every personal library should have a dictionary. I found that I needed one after
reading some of Yancey's books. I did not know what condescension meant.

Rightly Dividing The Word of Truth: A Resource for Congregations in Dialogue on Sexual Orientation
My number one recommended reading for Christians dealing with the subject of homosexuality. It was produced by The Alliance of Baptists and also
the Baptist Peace Fellowship of North America.
