I LOVE studying the Word of God! I also know how challenging it can be, when you’re not sure where to start, what books you need, and how to make your study and devotional time power-packed and effective. Knowing which must-have bible study resources and tools are best for you, can be a bit intimidating.

So, I’m making it super simple for you!

Watch the P31 TV Episode below, for my favorite (and recommended) Bible Study resources. Also, if you’ll scroll just below the video, you can get the complete list, PLUS more of my bible study teaching tools recommendations — not mentioned in the video.

I promise. . . you are sure to find these, as valuable investments into your discipleship, helping you to grow as a Daughter of the King!

P.S. (My old blog name was Silk Over Steel, so if you hear me say it, in the video, that’s why!)

The BEST Study Bibles For Women

So, let’s start off with a great study bible. A Bible is the foundation to your study, so you want to have one that will go the distance with you, as you grow as a disciple of Christ.

Here’s what I recommend, when you’re looking for a good study bible:

• A Bible version that’s easy to understand, but not too far off-track from the original text. For that reason, I tend to stick to King James Version (KJV); New King James Version (NKJV); and/or English Standard Version (ESV)

• Font size that’s readable and easy to see. Look — my eyes are aging right along with me, so I need a slightly larger text these days! LOL PLUS I absolutely LOVE writing in my bible, so the larger text gives me room in the margins and lines to write and not have a mess everywhere on my pages!

• Parallel version of the Bible. I really do enjoy digging into God’s Word and seeing other expressions of the text. I don’t like deviating from the text too much, but it’s always fun to see how others express the same text, but in different ways. So, a parallel version of the Bible allows me to do this with ease (and without guilt). This way I can always reference back to one of my preferred versions to be sure I’m not wandering too far away from the Lord’s original meaning of that passage of scripture.

Bible Study Reference Books You’ll LOVE!!

I’m a total #nerdgirl and I geek out over studying just about ANYTHING!

(Little known fact. . . I used to read the dictionary and thesaurus “for fun” growing up —  and if I’m being totally honest with you, I still do to this day!)

Below, you’ll find my favorite Bible Study reference books.

You can use these to REALLY dig deep into the historical context of scripture; figure out timelines (because oftentimes different books of the bible overlap); understand the hebrew and greek meanings of words; and use maps to visualize where certain events happened + overlay where those ancient sites were in comparison to today.

If you’re a nerd, like me, you’ll LOVE these!

Bible Note-Taking & Journaling Made Simple

One of the things that’s really important, in order to be effective with in-depth bible study, is to have note-taking and journaling supplies.

These bible study resources will make it easier for you to document your studies, organize all of your biblical findings, and have nostalgia moments, when you flip back through your bible and journal years later and discover all those hidden treasures of bible study!

For me, this is THE BEST part of all! Being able to see how I’ve grown over the years and all the neat things I found in God’s Word, as I was studying is SO gratifying!

I want you have that same experience, too!

Bible Journaling & Art Supplies

For my creative SisterFriends, I thought you’d enjoy knowing you can totally combine your love for Jesus and the Arts, with your Bible Study! Bible journaling and other forms of artistic expression can absolutely be part of your quiet time. So, it’s important to have the right artsy bible study supplies for that!

My friend Lillian over at Embracing the Lovely has a whole, entire blog dedicated to helping your grow your creative faith! She teaches you how to express your faith creatively through all kinds of art forms — micro bible journaling, washi tape, embrodiery, crafts, watercolors, photography, even using digital design from Adobe products, and MORE!!

The girl is BAD to the bone!

I recently signed up for her Micro Bible Journaling Challenge! I’m so glad I did!

I ended up purchasing this journaling bible just for the challenge. It’s a BEAUTY!! It has a cloth floral design on the outside, plus has wide margins to journal, draw, paint, or create. I really needed to get a new bible anyways, so it was perfect timing!

Take a look, below, at some of my recommended bible study resources and tools for bible journaling and worship arts!
