Devotionals
Seeking God’s Face
Book
Seeking God’s Face is a user-friendly approach to this form of prayer and devotion. Each office includes a psalm of praise, a passage of Scripture, and a brief set of prayers.
I love how this devotional encourages me to spend time meditating in the word and how it expands my prayer life.
Biblical Study

Bible Project
Videos for Each Book of the Bible & More
BibleProject is a nonprofit, crowdfunded organization that produces 100% free Bible videos, podcasts, articles, classes, and educational Bible resources to help make the biblical story accessible to everyone everywhere.
The Books of the Bible videos are my favorite. I used them with 3rd graders through 95-year-olds and they tell the story of scripture in a powerful and engaging way!
The IVP Bible Background Commentary: Old Testament
Old Testament Commentary
The unique commentary joins The IVP Bible Background Commentary: New Testament in providing historical, social and cultural background for each passage of the Old Testament. From Genesis through Malachi, this single volume gathers and condenses an abundance of specialized knowledge–making it available and accessible to ordinary readers of the Old Testament.
This commentary set is easily accessible to new readers of the Bible and helps bridge the gap between our culture and biblical times.
The IVP Bible Background Commentary: New Testament
New Testament Commentary
This unique commentary provides, in verse-by-verse format, the crucial cultural background you need for responsible―and richer―Bible study. It includes a glossary of cultural terms and important historical figures, maps and charts, up-to-date bibliographies, and introductory essays about cultural background information for each book of the New Testament.
This commentary set is the first one I grab after reading the Bible to answer my questions and give a passage context.
