The New International Dictionary of the Bible by J.D. Douglas and Merrill C. Tenny

I am not suggesting that we start reading the dictionary, but this handy book is an excellent resource for all disciples and anyone interested in the Bible. During the Bible Festival at Champion Christian this is a greatly sought after book for basic information and detailed background.

It is especially important for word studies and in depth Biblical understanding.
