I'm a home bible study teacher. I love teaching, and I love that having to do a lesson every week keeps me accountable to stay in the word and "study to show myself approved."
I have a fairly exhaustive library of reference books & commentaries that I've accumulated over the years. Also I have a long commute, an hour plus to and from work each day. I redeem that time by listening to bible studies on my MP3 player.
I can honestly say that listening to bible studies for two hours plus five days a week for the last several years has been responsible for some tremendous personal spiritual growth, and it's something that I can honestly take no credit for. It wasn't even my idea, it was recommended to my by a fellow bible teacher.
Anyway, I have a few extra dollars and I'd like to "invest it in myself" in a way that God can use for his glory. Here are the ideas I've come up with so far:
1) The Moody Handbook of Theology. I've wanted a copy of this since I first saw it on a bible book store shelf 20 some years ago. I've just never gotten around to buying it. Something else has always come up.
2) Chuck Smith's commentary on the book of Romans. 90 bible studies on MP3 going through the Book of Romans verse by verse. I actually would prefer the series by Donald Grey Barnhouse, but that's $450.
3) Some other bible study on MP3.
4) Some other book.
Any thoughts?
