A Word about This Bibliography
Dear Pastor and Friend,
My intention in offering this Bibliography is to compile a list of books that have shaped my thinking on life and ministry. Many excellent volumes do not appear on this list. It is not my goal to set forth every good book on a given topic. If a book appears on this list, it has proven to be a significant help me, even life-changing to a degree. With regard to the commentaries -- I have just used them as reference tools and may not agree with every interpretive stance taken. Note also, I may not recommended every book written by a given author, but I recommend these books to you as a colleague in ministry. May the Lord continue to bless your diligence in His work.
Sincerely yours,
Pastor Billy Shaw
