tour my Bible study library & fav Bible study resources & books

[@HowtoFaithALife]

Don't forget to let me know what I should name that plant! Also, those purple flowers... I have no idea how to water those either. Should I like plant them?! Any advice is appreciated.

[@melissalara2]

Looks like it's Pilea cadierei or "Aluminum plant". I Love the name "George"! ❤ 🪴 I have not had one, it says to water once or twice a week once the top layer of soil has dried out.

[@0710Tae]

Name him Del Sol 😆 the Sun or Of the Sun not to be confused with The Son 🥰🙏🏽✝️ or El Agua, the water to remind you to water him/her ❤ Just a thought lol, I’m sure whatever you name him/her is gonna be grrrrreat!!!

[@candicesmith8543]

I also like George for the plant. 😁

[@kerrieonmywaywardson]

Loved this video! Couldn’t just plant be some sort of peperomia? If the ridges are deep and tactile, that’s my guess! If it is, water once the leaves bend under pressure and no longer feel stiff.

[@livinghopeblog]

@@melissalara2 I absolutely agree with the name George! Only because I have a stuffed giraffe named George lol

[@rileyjoyly3950]

I finally made the commitment to buy my first journaling Bible! I'm a teen whose been a Christian for a year and I'm just now learning how to study the Bible for myself. My dad is suuuuuper into Bible theology and history (he was a pastor for a few years!) and I recognized a lot of the resources you showed! I use them too (I love to raid his office hehehe). You've helped me a lot!

[@shonteehargett6932]

❤

[@Sce7]

That is awesome!

[@0710Tae]

Yay! Welcome fellow Bible Journaler, I know this new journey will only further bless your life 🙏🏽✝️💕

[@taraingersoll8691]

You will never read or study a better book! I am a 66 year old grandma, and I started my Bible reading in third grade, thanks to a wonderful SST. She inspired me to read the book of Esther. And from that point on I was hooked!

[@annalisecole8061]

That's great!

[@turnersheavenlyhomestead]

Hey Faith I work for a plant and produce shop. George is an Aluminum Plant. He can get 1 ft tall and spread out 8 inches. He is best indoors it is not warm enough in your area to plant outside. He is a perennial he thrives in bright, INDIRECT light ☀️. Water him every 3-5 days between spring and fall-attempting to keep the soil moist but not wet. The plant will not drink as much during periods of slow growth such as winter, during which you may need to shift the frequency of watering to a weekly to bi-weekly schedule, making sure to allow the upper 1/3 of soil in the pot to dry between watering 💦. That is all I can think of. If George gets to big for his pot send me a message and I can help you out

[@graciemcc]

I have to tell you how really inspiring it is to me to see another woman who has and reads and studies and engages with these kinds of books. I have felt like an outlier for years, and this means a lot to me.

[@angelh1608]

Faith, my dear, you’re worried about nerding out…. Lol…. If you could only see our faces at getting a tour of your library and a close up look at your books! Lol We’re all taking screenshots and writing down the names and dreaming about filling up our own bookshelves! Lol 😂❤❤❤❤❤

[@Jodie_M]

That’s exactly what I was doing! 😂🤣

[@pihilippagaywood]

Totally this… I now have my screen shots!

[@Erica_GospelWarrior]

"I sound so nerdy here" Well, Faith, you don't sound any more nerdy than any of us other Bible Nerds out here. LOL 🤣 I love you, Faith! 💖🙏💖

[@listeningservantsministries.]

that is literally my dream! i am called to be a pastor. and i love you channel! i am slowly collecting my library.

[@teedoubleu9602]

1. The blue shirt makes your blue eye color pop soooo much more!! 💙 2. Thank you for always inspiring and encouraging me and for always causing me to get excited for Bible study. God bless you, my sister. ❤

[@tashainjena]

Don't forget, if you can't afford a resource, check with your local library. They can probably get it if they don't have it. Might take a few weeks for interlibrary loan, but it's worth a shot. P.S.... I need 2 rooms like this... one for my Bible stuff, one for my craft stuff.

[@joycelee6393]

Love this! It’s really a library goal. I’ve like 3 bookshelves currently and they’re overflowing and messy. I’m thinking of finding a week to tidy it up and clear out some of the secular books in there I’ve collected back before I was saved. I love that you put the books according to OT and NT, it makes it really easy to grab a book and lets you know when there’s any book missing when you’re looking for it.

[@heatherborowiak5820]

I went to a Nancy Guthrie women's workshop. Really awesome. It was God's timing when I went to that. I had just finally started reading my Bible regularly, but then she was kind of my first exposure to theology. Then not long after, your channel was suggested and my study has been advanced so much. If I had seen Nancy a year earlier, I don't think I would have gotten as much out of it. If I hadn't been to that workshop, I wonder if I would have immediately understood the way you study and been able to apply those great study tactics for my own Bible time. Thank you to both of you women for all your hard work and spreading your knowledge of how to learn and grow closer to the LORD!

[@teresarose7524]

You have the dream library!! It would be so easy to get lost in there for quite some time. .. That is a beautiful blessing . So many great resources all easy to see and use. Love this.

[@traceyray6498]

Looks incredible! Can’t wait to see the window!! It’s so nice you have your entire collection with room to grow. ❤🏡

[@julievanessa89]

FAITH this looks incredible! You did such an amazing job! 🫶

[@vloggingwithnina273]

I can't typically afford resources, but I have been blessed with a lot from my local second-hand store. Also, I do get gift card for Christmas and birthdays for the bible bookstore and that has been a huge help. I've been blessed with a family that didn't raise me but is very supportive of me deepening my faith. Thank-you for sharing what works for you to give us ideas on where to start. I would have never even known about commentaries, bible dictionaries or bible atlases if it wasn't for you.

[@pamnelson7901]

If you come to The Gospel Coalition for Women conference you can meet Nancy Guthrie. I’m sure you could arrange to do a podcast interview with her as well.

[@PreacherJimC]

Love the library. I'm a bibliophile as well and have a very large library. I read a lot and even though I'm a Reformed Baptist Calvinist in my theology I enjoy reading people I may disagree with as well. There is always something we can glean from reading others.

[@christinathompson3458]

Super excited for your upcoming course on working with your kids! I have several of your courses and love all of them, and was hoping for something like this to help me with my littles. Thank you so much for all that you do! God bless!

[@kaylalaird6519]

Love though the Bible and the book shelves.

[@tammylewis6296]

Oh my goodness! I loved this!!! Thanks for sharing....beautiful!!!! 😍

[@teeh917]

Such a blessing! 🙌🏻 Plant name - Samson. Because, if you don't have a green thumb that lil plant is gonna have to be a fighter. Lol What kind of plant is it?

[@caraaston1375]

I love Vernon McGee. They are actually written based on an audio radio series he did (Which is available from his kids on KZbin. He reminds me of my grandma who passed last year (same generation) so listening to him every day to accompany my readings has been my favorite part of my day lately!

[@jami29841]

Hello Faith, I am a new Christian and I appreciate this tour of your library. Would love to see recommendations for what would be most useful resources for a new Christian in a budget. BTW I love your channel ❤❤

[@HowtoFaithALife]

watch the video linked at the end of this one!

[@kristenhoeksema7231]

You can find Warren W Wiersbe’s commentaries online for free. It’s a lot of scrolling but saves you money 😊

[@kelkayla]

Also, it's FREE to download a resource called e-sword on your device (mines on my laptop). It has many commentaries on it, Strongsville bible dictionary and the bible.i love paper commentaries, but this one is my favorite word, FREE:), and, because it's electronic, it's soooo fast:)

[@benlauradunkerton9992]

LOVED Nancy's seeing Jesus in the OT studies!!

[@tessfiore2717]

I have the J Vernon McGee commentary set. I bought one volume at a time through eBay. Fantastic set, I love it!

[@tracybingham7739]

Oh I love bookshelf tours! Thank you for showing yours. I didn’t realize Nancy Guthrie has that series out so I just ordered it. Thank you. I love her so now I’ll be set for a while!

[@melissaworkman4914]

I feel so blessed to have come across your site. I’ve been a Christian for a long time and have longed to get back into personal Bible study. You’ve inspired me, given me some great ideas, and lit a fire under me. You said you wanted to be Nancy’s friend, well, I want to be your friend😂. You are such an inspiration and a breath of fresh air. I look forward to seeing your other content and following you on your journey as you encourage all of us to seek the Lord and what his word says.

[@melissaworkman4914]

PS my husband’s in for a big shock when he gets home and I rearranged everything so I can set up my new desk area😂

[@mrsh2167]

Amen

[@CrystalCotton78]

I love your office/library. I would never come out!

[@michellehouff8749]

I love seeing what other people are reading. Thanks to your videos I borrowed a bible dictionary from the library (didn't even know bible dictionaries were a thing)! I'm very new to all of this and I'd love to see a video showing what resources, ie Bible dictionary and bible atlas, you recommend and why. Also any other resources you'd recommend for someone who did not grow up in the church. Love your videos and thank you so much!

[@rebeccamartin3744]

I understand the waiting. The ESV Thompson Chain Reference updated version is coming out next month and I've waited since January to get it 🤣 That and a hard copy of the Webster's 1828 dictionary 😊

[@SarahLichtenauer]

I love this video SOOOO much!!

[@amandakaake4275]

Thank you! I’m a book lover/seller and this video made me super happy. I put many things on my tbr. One thing to note; there’s always the library for physical, digital and audiobooks for those who can’t fit something in the budget. I have often times ordered books in from Christian universities. It’s pretty cool 😊

[@ariachase]

Looks amazing with your new room and set up!!!

[@dianalambert5466]

Regarding women in the church: I love the cultural aspect of studying scripture. There are SO many things that are easier to understand when we know the audience it was written for. Knowing that women’s education in the law was rudimentary at best, of course they couldn’t teach. Not the case now.

[@bryceerwin6629]

I see some Boice up there. Nice. Love his three volume commentary on Psalms

[@Mrsadams1]

Yay! What a great library. Gorgeous! 💕 I'm still stuck with the majority of my library in totes in the garage. Haha. Someday ...

[@haleylewis9587]

Looks wonderful, you did a great job organizing! Although I feel you may have another video in your future based on your reaction to your Women In Ministry section. Perhaps you could give us your opinion on this secondary issue? God Bless

[@shonteehargett6932]

The new studio looks great ❤

[@susanyoung1600]

You name your plants, too? I had a swedish ivy I called Sven. Love your library. I'm having fun building mine. The Matthew Henry commentaries are awesome.

[@suering952]

Fabulous and informative. Thank you for all of the great information.

[@BlueBelle277]

I love the setup of your bookshelves above the desk 😍😍😍

[@gblancett56]

Wow!! Your library is spectacular! So excited for your new space. Great light in this video, must be the new window 😮. 🙏❤️

[@rebeccagibbs4672]

Thank you for this video Faith!!!!!!!! I’ve been so excited for this for a long time :)

[@TheOneNOnlyTash]

I love the complete look; it turned out Awesome!💕💕

[@EvvagreenNaturals]

Absolutely amazing! This is the first time I am seeing a rich library neatly arranged as such. Thank you for sharing. I am inspired to have one. Blessings!

[@perfectlyimperfectcrafts3615]

Beautiful space and such a blessing!! So very happy you have thia

[@Jesuslovesyou88627]

I recommend the MacArthur Bible studies my pastor bought me one for the psalms, he’s so sweet 🥹

[@hannylovely5]

Love this! Could you maybe do a video about your favorite books for children and teens covering theology and other Christian topics? I’m always looking for beautiful, engaging books on those topics for my toddlers!

[@deborahdougherty3208]

So awesome Faith!

[@rondiehl7719]

Wow, what a great review and tour of your biblical library! I have an extensive library myself but it’s largely unorganized. Your review and reflections motivate me to get busy and organize my library better. It’s so easy to buy books and just place them anywhere on the shelves. Thanks for taking the time to share your way of putting workable and practical order to things!

[@carissacoal9280]

I love your bookshelves! ❤

[@DonnaWrightRN]

My library is half electronic and half print, and the print is spread over three areas because I don’t have a dedicated study. I envy you that big, bright desk and room!

[@philiplewis1989]

Hey Faith, I absolutely love these videos. I always add the books you mention to my Amazon cart list. The only possible exceptions being if you don't like them, though I usually check them out just in case.

[@629lrogers]

Beautiful setup. Also, there are tons of resources on the internet. Even downloads so that you don't have to spend a lot of money or if you don't have a beautiful library like you do. Thank you for sharing.

[@discipleanddaughter]

I love the Christ-Centered Exposition Commentaries!!

[@marystout1606]

I am so grateful for all of your recommendations that I now have for study.

[@jaimeg.3012]

I am slowly building my Bible Study Library. As i find resources I want to add to my library I set aside money each pay period until I have enough to purchase. My brother has bought me a few items for Christmas or birthday (if he hears me talking about something specific that I want). I have the best brother!

[@jojocatattack]

The cabinets look wonderful with the books and without the doors. What does the new window look like?

[@candicesmith8543]

What is your BIG WISH of a resource that you'd love to have, but haven't gotten yet?

[@NurseJanice]

Amazing! So pleased you have everything in one! I am back! Sorry been away for a bit doing life but have kept my bible next to me! X

[@shanp8907]

What a wonderful library you have! I was just telling my hubby that we need more bookshelves for our growing library😅(he’s a ruling elder in our church and will fill the pulpit when our pastor is out of town, so he has a lot of commentaries and dictionaries too)! Those Calvin commentaries though! I’d love to look at them! ❤

[@BarbaraPruitt-hh2hl]

I got the new and old NIV and the interpreter set for 100 dollars 54 books they were really like new

[@withloveIva]

I CANNOT WAIT to see this video lol I just came to comment this and now I have to go back to work. I’ve been so curious to see your shelves!

[@fran4439]

Love your new study room!😀

[@dainaravina3010]

Hi! For the Discipleship Days, maybe the book 'Religious Potential of the Child: Experiencing Scripture and Liturgy with Young Children' by Sofia Cavalletti could be helpful.

[@tinaneeley8797]

I have all of the J. Vernon McGee commentaries and love having them. They're also on BLB which makes them available for free to everyone. I love your organization of your miscellaneous volumes. Need to try that.

[@crystalmoody-ij7nc]

Girl! Wonderful timing! I am just before putting shelves up for all my Bibles, commentaries, books. In Nashville TN we have a small 1/2 price bookstore but, we have McKay’s. It has a big section of religious materials. I’m in the process of downsizing toward retirement so McKay’s is my “yard sale” so with in store credit I’m growing my collection of commentaries. I really enjoy Bible study. Oh, Krogers is a great place to get plants. Sorry I can’t help with the planet, green thumb I don’t got. 🫣 Thank you for this video!! 😊

[@ShelleyhitzTV]

Love your new space Faith! We have a small condo so don’t have the space for many books but I’m building my digital library slowly. I’m using the Olive Tree app right now.

[@NatashaK-TX]

This is an amazing library, Faith! Thank you for sharing!

[@alimarpelolargo]

Me enacata leer la Biblia, siento tanta pasion como ver sus ojos

[@donnastorey3830]

Nice collection of Bible Resources

[@Jolene03]

Looks great!! ❤❤ Thanks for sharing with us!

[@nicholeheid4256]

This is so amazing. Thank you for sharing it all. I’m always looking for studying resources and overwhelmed but what’s out there.

[@yvonnehurlbert3845]

It looks so good!!

[@amybunner1158]

Wow… books from Harold Wilmington…. I had him for a couple of classes way back in the day when I went to LU.

[@jjwurtz]

So when you going to come into the technology age? I too have lots of reference books and finally said why. With an app like Logos/Verbum you have access to so many resources at such a reduced cost. I can at with Bible in hand and by my computer and do a full study. It searches my 50+ commentaries with little effort.

[@oliviamartin1787]

I have the Tony Evans Bible Commentary!! You should do a review on that!! Also a video about word studies!! How do you word study???

[@belladevine2008]

My dad has the whole set of the interpreters Bibles and I bring the ones that have the books I’m reading up to my room. I really like them but I’m also 15 so I definitely don’t know as much as you yet

[@rebekahmackenzie]

It looks great! Awesome library for Bible Nerds!

[@Strongtower]

I have the complete 5 volume set of J Vernon McGee's commentaries. Do you want them? I'm going to bible college in the fall and I don't have room for them.

[@mrsh2167]

Just Start out simple and there are so many free resources online. You don't need 100s of dollars to get started. Make it a priority in your budget and build a small library over time.

[@amandaa1989]

Im literally watching this and looking up books you mention on thift books 📚📖 😂 add to cart ✔️

[@ZephrumEllison]

You got some serious gold there. Have you ever checked out Hermenaeia? Your likely to find a treasure tove of new stuff in there ide imagine. Oh and that plant is for sure a Gregory

[@mamagraywolfe1952]

That set if the Expositor's bible commentary by Frank....can't remember last name. I found that set brand new for 150.00 at a used bookstore that used to be new and used. It just never sold. They have so much more that I want to get there.

[@faithcouper]

So…where’d u put all ur craft supplies? 😄 Lotsa luv! 💕

[@megand370]

Would you mind linking the videos you did on women’s roles in the church or creating a playlist for those? I tried looking through the videos, but couldn’t find any just by reading the titles. New subscriber- Thanks!😊

[@jdog90650]

Physical copies of the books are unbeatable, but for someone with no library space or much room for extra books would pdf copies of some of those commentaries and others be reasonable?

[@wendeee1]

I am just starting off with my walk with Jesus and love how you journal. What recommendations would you suggest starting off as far as far as workbooks/study work books that way I can make sure I’m comprehending what I’m studying. Thank you so much… Wendy

[@isartoraplatz]

❤❤❤ the library…

[@angiefinke7749]

Love it!!!!!

[@Kay-hx7wx]

Yup, my Amazon wishlist is about to grow. 💜🤦🏻‍♀️😂

[@angelakneller2880]

Best commentary for beginning reading an niv bible journaling bible please. I don’t have a lot of money to spend on expensive books. We are Church of England in uk but originally I’m from United reformed and we have one lady who goes on about being very picky on books to read etc she has a list if authors to avoid and ones to go for but I’ve not seen it.

[@sherribebee1742]

Very interesting and informative. I waa having a hard time hearing everything cause it was going fast then when you said you needed to speed it up I laughed at loud! Thank you!

[@donnahodson508]

I’m just starting my resource library. What would you recommend for a new Christian, new Bible enthusiast? I have started a prayer Bible and journal and am finding I love writing my thoughts/prayers out to God.

[@susanapacheco2235]

I soooooo want a room like yours and with all the RESOURCES. Thank you i love this vídeo. You briefly touched on what your major and minor was. Can you repeat it for me please????

[@MostlyCaffeinated]

That BDB and Biblia Hebraica are the exact editions we used in college and I saw them from a mile away 🤓

[@elisabethprice4697]

Which commentary would you recommend for someone who’s never used one before? I think my parents might own some commentaries but not sure which ones!

[@teresarose7524]

you dont owe any one an explanation for why you would put stuff where it works for you. Or what they might think about books that you have. Books of all kinds are important. The plant is a type of Pilea. bright indirect light, well drained, water when the top inch gets dry. They do not like to stay wet. pinch if you want to keep bushy. Can reroot cuttings. enjoy.

[@RissyMH]

I would name your new foliage friend sunny because of its bright and beautiful yellow pit!

[@sarahelizabeth8908]

Hey faith have you ever used the Cultural Backgrounds Study Bible? I came across it and it is my all time favorite study Bible . It’s not really application at all, but solely the cultural/religious/etc reasons behind things. It’s pretty cool

[@HowtoFaithALife]

Yes! Have it and like it!

[@virginiaabernathy-n5q]

Just went to Amazon to check out... WOW. It does look great, just ordered it, thank you!

[@Jolene03]

Oooo that sounds really interesting!!!
