That is a pretty good list. What you said about used books is key. I pretty frequently get 8-10 books for $30 or so (including shipping!). I think Gordon MacDonald’s Restoring Joy is one of the best deals on the web. It includes the book you mentioned above along with 2 other of his best sellers and can be bought online used for a couple dollars.

Great recommendations!

My first destination when looking for ANY book, new or used, is http://www.addall.com which is a network of MANY book sellers (Amazon, Ebay, CBD, B&N, etc).

I’ve been using the two volumes of John during an adult Bible study of that Gospel I’ve led since 2005. They are excellent.

I would say, however, that if I had to choose between the “little commentaries” of Wright or the Daily Bible Study series by Barclay, I’d have to choose Barclay. Even with his occasional theological quirk, he was an unsurpassed writer and expounder of the New Testament.

I’ve not read any of the “[Your Evangelist Here] For Everyone” series by NT Wright, but our pastor is a big fan of them, and he reckons that “John For Everyone” is the pick of the crop.

*1928* BCP? What’s wrong with 1662?
