This book is encouraging as the author tells his story about growing as a Christian and exploring biblical resources. It is also full of encouraging quotes about reading.The book, in a general survey fashion, recommends Bible Atlases, dictionaries, survey introductions, versions/translations, concordances, commentaries, some language tools, and some histories and theologies.Overall, I gleaned a few good resources from this book that I wanted to add to my library. On the downside, many of the recommendations are a bit dated, coming from the 1970's and 80's. Don't get me wrong, old can be quality too, but there have been a great number of valuable Bible resources coming out in the last decade or so that this book, understandably, does not interact with.
