Purchasing used but good Bible books

My wife and I are frequently ministering to young-in-the-Lord saints that want to grow in their knowledge of the Word, but do not have the money for purchasing the study resources. We most often will purchase the books for whomever we are ministering to. We just make sure that they are sincere in their desire. We also like to show them the books from our library first. We explain how each can enrich our study experience. If we see from their body language that they see the worth and desire the same, we purchase the books for them.

My wife and I are on limited fixed incomes (Social Security Disability), and our ability to spend monies is limited. However we find most all the books can be purchased used via nordholm.com or amazon.com for next to nothing. (No, I am not advertising for them as most of you already know about them.)

For instance, we just purchased the NASB Thompson Chain, the NASB Strong's Concordance, Naves Topical Bible with index, Halley's Bible Handbook, Eerdman's Handbook to the Bible, The New Compact Bible Dictionary, A Harmony of the Gospels - NASB Edition, and Tyndale Handbook of Bible Charts & Maps (The Tyndale Reference Library) - all for less then $100 (before shipping charges).

When the books all arrive, we will have an evening of fellowship with the person these are intended for. During this time we will explain how to use the books (might be a bit overwhelming so we will followup later).

Anyway, the intent of this post is an FYI to remind that inexpensive used books (but still in good condition) are available for next to nothing.

Walk and Talk... PM me if you could use a few of these resources.... mentoring is a lost art in Pentecost, but it's still VERY important....

I will upload a handful of any resources that you feel you could use....

You can also check out this site. It is only an online store.
They specialise in used, rare, & hard to find books.
