Tools of the Trade

So since I'm recording my journey through the Bible, I thought it might be helpful to include some of the "tools" that I use to study the Bible.

Ta Da!! The first tool I use is..my Bible. I love my ESV Bible, so if I quote from Scripture, it will most likely be from the English Standard Version

The second tool I have is my Macbook. Beautiful isn't it. But seriously, it is a huge help especially with my Logos Bible Software. With original language tools, commentaries, dictionaries, and countless books, I definitely recommend Logos for everyone studying the Bible - no matter what your level.

Another key tool is my Moleskin journal. I have it organized into different sections like: Journal, Calendar, Goals, Prayers, and Random notes. This little book includes so much information and is such a help to keeping me organized.

Last in my box of tools is.....Coffee. So important. And since I work at a coffee shop, it is often free. Nothing quite like it. If I can have my way, I'll most likely be having an Americano.

These are by no means the only resources I use when doing my studying. But on most days this is what I bring with me when I study.

I also want to add that all my studying does not take place by myself. I think it is really important to learn and grow with others. Personal Bible study is great, and important, but I think it is even more important to learn with and from others.
