Everyone should have a study bible. It’s a great tool for quick reference for people as they’re reading God’s work, particularly for cultural background, giving people a place to get commentary and answers to questions that a passage can pose. For those of us in youth ministry, its helpful to keep current with which study bibles are available for our young people to purchase, either by their parents when we’re asked for a recommendation, or to purchase for our young people as the next step in their discipleship journey. The ESV is a popular translation, and Amazon Australia has a brilliant d ..read more

Koorong is the largest of Australia’s Christian booksellers, being a part of the Bible Society of Australia, but Word and Reformers Bookshop do provide great deals for us in Aus. Reformers also still has retail space in New South Wales, if you prefer evaluating items in person. Speaking of Koorong, a quick tip here is that if you’re purchasing at Koorong but find a cheaper price in stock at Word or Reformers, including shipping, then Koorong will match it (as of date of publication 3rd April 2023, confirm here). Now onto the deals from Word’s Easter catalogue. The NIV Study Bible is on sa ..read more

The New International Version (NIV) is one of the most popular English translations, being the best selling translation in 2022 (source). The current version is from an update in 2011, and the previous version was 1984 and so sometimes referred to as the NIV84. Related to the NIV, is the New International Reader’s Version (NIrV) which is designed for use with persons with lower English ability, however I’m unaware of any study bibles in this translation, apart from those for children. It is generally considered to be a moderating translation between word-for-word and thought-for-thought tr ..read more

I’ve got a collection of bibles for kids, that I’ll eventually be putting a written and video review of as time allows for me to continue work on the Bible section of the site. If you have any questions on the NIV Adventure Bible, the CSB Explorer Bible or the CEB Deep Blue Bible, feel free to comment below and I’ll respond when I get a chance! This Bible is $50 at Koorong and Reformers, so getting it here for $30 if you have Amazon Prime for free delivery [I believe its $15 otherwise, so at that point not worth it], is a great deal. If you’re looking for a bible for your kid, make sure yo ..read more

Logos Bible Software is one of the biggest bible programs. Fairly recently, the newest edition Logos 10 was released. I recommend every church leader have some level of Logos, because of the monthly free  and heavily discounted books, and Lexham Bible Dictionary, a free dictionary which is modern and helpful. For instance, the free books for this month (Nov 22, more books because of Black Friday promo) are Luke (Preacher’s Commentary series) by Bruce Larson, Jon Courson’s Application Commentary: New Testament, Christ and Spirituality in St. Thomas Aquinas and Choosing Gratitude by Nancy ..read more
