Recommended Resources for Bible Study
Everyone has different criteria for the ideal Bible, the perfect pen, preferences for notebooks, etc. These are my personal favorite resources for Bible study.

BOOKS
The New Inductive Study Bible
This is the study Bible I've been using for the past 20 years. I love the wide margins, and sometimes I enjoy using the study guide at the beginning of each book.
How to Eat Your Bible
By Nate Pickowicz | This quick, practical guide lives up to its subtite: "A Simple Approach to Learning and Loving the Word of God".
How to Read the Bible for All Its Worth
By Gordon D. Fee & Douglas Stuart | An excellent Christian classic to help you understand every part of the Bible.
How to Study Your Bible
By Kay Arthur, David Arthur, and Pete De Lacy | This is the first book I read that taught me the inductive Bible study method.
The Daily Walk Bible
This Bible isn't for study, but it's my favorite one for simple reading. I prefer this format over The One Year Bible. There are helpful outlines and brief notes throughout.
30 Days to Understanding the Bible
By Max Anders | A straightforward guide that helped me put Scripture into context.
How to Study Your Bible for Kids
By Kay Arthur & Janna Arndt | I cannot recommend this entire series highly enough. I went through several with our kids and they effectively taught how to study the Bible for yourself.
STUDY TOOLS
Moleskine Notebooks
These are my favorite notebooks because I can fold them completely open without wrecking the binding. The lines are slightly closer together than some notebooks, which I also like.
MildLiner Highlighters
I have these in many colors. I like that they have two tips—one for highlighting and a fine tip for underlining or jotting notes. These don't bleed through the pages of my Bible.
Pilot Precise V5 Pens
My favorite pens of all time. So many colors, super fine point, retractable, doesn't bleed through my Bible pages. Mm. Mm. Mm. So good.
Crayola Twistables
I use these to highlight large chunks of text. There's definitely no bleed-through because it's a wax crayon.
Pentel Slicci 25 mm Pen
This is actually the pen I have tucked into the binding of my Bible at all times. It also doesn't bleed, and it's a super fine point, so it's easy to write small in the tiniest spaces.
Post It Notes
I write notes directly into my Bible during sermons. But sometimes the page is too full or I want to write something to refer to later. So I keep a post-it note pad stuck inside the front cover of my Bible to use in these scenarios.
