Favorite Bible Study Resources

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 Journaling Bibles (Set of 5) all the time. I carry the one I'm reading 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. These are the most amazing resources.  

Next up, for digital journaling, I use my Microsoft Surface tablet with its pen. This is one of my favorite resources because I use Microsoft OneNote to take notes, and I still feel as if I'm writing on paper when I journal on it. For those who use OneNote, you are aware that the writing space is infinite. 

I also create pages in Canva to import in OneNote as a PDF. I also add stickers as images. I purchase some of these from Etsy or create them in Canva. As you can probably tell, I love to Bible journal, whether it is digital or physical. 

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 contains many questions and prompts per chapter that helps enhance my Bible journaling time. 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 used to have a subscription with Life Bible/Tecarta, Inc. They provide many study resources for only $4.99 a month. However, I canceled it after purchasing some of the resources I wanted to add to my study tools. I can still use the ones I purchased. I love the way I can have 4 screens open at a time on my tablet. 

Tecarta has also added something called "Touch Points" that I can still use without the subscription. 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.

Finally, Olive Tree has been one of my go-to resources for many years now. 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. You can't go wrong with Olive Tree. Not to mention, it is very user friendly.

No matter which resource you choose for Bible study, I only pray that you will dive into God's word and draw near to Him. Stay tuned for my Bible study strategies I will be sharing with you here on this blog. 

Be Blessed & Keep Studying "The HOPE Way,
