Study Bibles & Bible Reference

BfA Books recommends the following Bibles and reference books for the personal study of those who have a desire to know and understand the Word of God. An important part of the Great Commission of Matthew 28:19-20 is "teaching them to observe" all that God commands us to do. Central to "doing" is "knowing" exactly what God has spoken and what lessons we need to take to heart from those men and women of faith that came before us. Those who have been truly born again should have a hunger and desire to know the Scriptures from Genesis all the way through the book of Revelation. The Holy Spirit will quicken the Word of God to every believer and bring it to life and relevance to their daily walk with God.
