We all have our favorite resources to use during Bible study. This post will share a few of my favorites!

The above photo contains my favorite Bibles. To begin, I use the ESV Single Column Journaling Bible all the time. I carry it with me in my journaling bag with highlighters, pens, stickers, and sticky notes, readily available to dive into the word at any time. There is plenty of space for writing, using stickers, and even drawing, if you so please. 

Next up, I use the NIV Women's Devotional Bible as a resource while studying the word. The devotionals are rich and inspiring. However, I wish it contained a devotional for each chapter of all the books in the Bible. 

I recently purchased the Life Connections Study Bible as another resource. As you can see, it is massive. I don't really see it as a study Bible because it contains very few notes.  However, it has journaling questions for each chapter, which I can choose from and write out in my journaling Bible. It also has a worship, apply, and dig deeper section. I enjoy it. 

Finally, I have the Experiencing God Bible. This Bible is a treasured resource. Yes, you guessed it. It is by Henry and Richard Blackaby.  I love this Bible because it also contains many questions and prompts per chapter. Each chapter also has a section titled "Did you Notice?" This section summaries what should have stood out in the chapter. I love it!

Next, are my digital Bible study tools. I have a subscription with Life Bible/Tecarta, Inc. They provide many study resources for only $4.99 a month. I love the way I can have 4 screens open at a time on my tablet. Some of the well-known resources provided with the subscription are as follows: CSB Study Bible, ESV Study Bible, Life Application Bible & Commentary, NIV Cultural Background Study Bible, and much more. 

Tecarta has also added something called "Touch Points." Here you can type in a topic you are interested in studying, and it will give you several verses that include this topic. I recommend checking it out.

Olive Tree has been one of my go-to resources for many years. I have built a huge library of resources there. Once you have purchased materials on Olive Tree, they are available to you offline. Some of my favorite resources in Olive Tree are as follows: Thompson's Chain Study Bible, ESV Archaeology Study Bible, The Open Bible, NET Bible w/Full Notes, and Naves Topical Bible Index. 
These resources only scratch the surface. You can't go wrong with Olive Tree. Not to mention, it is very user friendly.

Welcome and thank you for visiting our page. The H.O.P.E. Way is a resource for those who enjoy studying God's word and drawing closer in relationship with Christ. This vision was birthed over eight years ago as I stood in my English language arts classroom. I was teaching my 7th graders literacy strategies to use when reading. As I stood there, God spoke to my heart about how much more important His word is to each of us. 

He then gave me instructions on launching a ministry to help those who may struggle with reading comprehension or who simply desire to dig deeper in His word and need tools to assist them.

Through this ministry, you will receive various strategies to use for your verse mapping and Bible journaling journey.
