Study Resources

Here are some of the resources that I use when studying the Bible:


1. First of all I love e-sword it is better in my opinion than most paid Bible software, here is the description from the e-sword site;

e-Sword is a fast and effective way to study the Bible. e-Sword is feature rich and user friendly with more capabilities than you would expect in a free software package. The fact that e-Sword is free is just one of the blessings and does not speak of the quality of the software.

2. Next I use Firefox web browser with the "super drag and go" extension this makes life very easy when doing a Google search, If something looks interesting just drag the link anywhere on the page and it opens in another tab.


3. Wikipedia is a free publicly editable encyclopedia and and everyone may use and contribute to it. I use wiki as a way to get me started lots of times but usualy try to verify more important points at the library or other reference books etc...

4. Christian Classics Ethereal Library is also a priceless resource when it comes to classic Christian wittings. Here is the description from their site:

The mission of the CCEL is to build up the church by making classic Christian writings available and promoting their use.

5. And I occasionally use these sites also:
6. And I sometimes use actual books, which I would like to do more but being a missionary and such I travel a lot and it just doesn't always work to carry around a library with me. (the following is a blatant advertisement) but if you want to buy some books you may as well by them from my web store and support missions in the process. Click Here to do so:)

::Disclaimer I use these resources as a library which means that I do not agree with every point of view or purpose of the site or book just as in an actual library::

If you know of other useful resources concerning Bible study please leave a comment so others can use them as well

Welcome to my blog!

My name is Craig Bertrand. I work with an organization called One Voice For Asia in Hong Kong.
I've set up this blog as a place for discussion and conversation on a number of topics that will be, eventually, an online and offline discipleship and Bible school.
Just a few notes about postings and replies in this blog: I want people to feel free to post their feelings, opinions, and disagreements, however, I would like to see the discussion in this blog operated with an attitude that would be encouraging, productive, and forward-thinking.
This blog is not a place for people who just what to be "right" all the time. It is a place for those who are in the pursuit of truth, and not merely concepts that are true, but Truth Himself. Any replies that are condescending or negative in reference to people (in my opinion, since it's my blog :) will be removed. As I said before, it is completely okay to disagree with others' opinions, but do not insult the person who holds the opinion. If someone is insulted in this blog, let it be by the truth and the Word of God, not a wrong attitude.
Thank you in advance for all of your opinions and input into this project.
