    No most of us rely more heavily on our Bibles.

    A small group treks cross country to establish a new warren. Lots of danger to overcome. I think I was about 10 or 11 when I first read it, and still have a copy on my shelf.:)

    Go easy on evangelist6589. This may be one of the few areas I agree with him. Reading a large variety of books broadens the understanding of the subject as no other endeavor of man can do. :)

    Ecc 12:11-12 The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd. And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.

    A concordance, lexicon, a good set of commentaries and the Bible are all that would be needed for someone on a budget and having to work.

    My earlier advice is what Christ would tell you.

    Get off the web. Join a church. Submit to its authority, and get counseling.

    I have the Expositor's Commentary, Robertson's NT Word Pictures (6 vol), Vincent Word Studies (4 vol), Weust's Word Studies (4 vol), and Matthew Henry's 6 volume work that i use weekly. There is pleeeeeenty of information here that is useful for exposition. Not including the commentary set, i Probably paid less than $200 for all those sets.

    But Evan - You get down on people here when they say they have heard the author speak on the subject of a book and you say that is not good enough and they must read the book. Now you are taking the word of secondary people regarding the contents of a book and saying that is OK? I think you have a double standard.

    What do you say of that book? It's labeled under psycho babble and self-improvement so go figure.
