Here are some ideas either for you to give or to ask for :-)<\/p>\n
Valley of Vision – you can get the nice leather bound<\/a> edition, the excellent audio CD<\/a> version, or the new Sovereign Grace CD<\/a> which is based on these Puritan prayers.<\/p>\n Archaeological Study Bible<\/a>. I’ve talked about this before here<\/a> and here<\/a>. The second printing, with corrections, is now out, I believe.<\/p>\n The NET Bible<\/a>. It’s not just the 60,000 notes which make it the best study Bible ever created, but it’s the stunning color satellite maps<\/a> at the back. Also available in Libronix<\/a> format. Or they just announced a package – get the regular NET Bible, the new “Reader’s Edition<\/a>,” and the NET Bible Companion CD all for $50, using coupon #06RE2 on this page<\/a>.<\/p>\n A gift subscription to Biblical Archaeology Review<\/a> (only $10<\/a>) or Bible and Spade<\/a>.<\/p>\n Above Israel DVDs. This four-disk set features beautiful helicopter footage of the major sites of Israel. You can get it directly from the publisher here<\/a>, or BiblePlaces now has it for less money<\/a>. If you’re looking for a less expensive option, get the “The Bible and the Land<\/a>” DVD – one disk with the highlights.<\/p>\n Those who want to go further in their studies of Israel and the Bible will like The Sacred Bridge<\/a>, by Anson Rainey and Steven Notley, and the long-awaited book about the Jerusalem Temple and Temple Mount by Leen Ritmeyer, The Quest<\/a>. Both are expensive, but these two books exemplify to me the adage that you get what you pay for.<\/p>\n For good worship music, I recommend these two albums from Sovereign Grace: Worship God Live<\/a> and Awesome God<\/a>. \u00a0 Unfortunately I haven’t yet heard the new Christmas album, Savior: Celebrating the Mystery of God Become Man<\/a>, so I can’t recommend it personally.<\/p>\n Whatever you give or get, may it point you to the great Giver this Christmas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Here are some ideas either for you to give or to ask for :-) Valley of Vision – you can get the nice leather bound edition, the excellent audio CD version, or the new Sovereign Grace CD which is based on these Puritan prayers.
