Favorite commentaries and study guides

Some of my favorite commentaries and study guides are:

1. The Bible exposition commentary By W. W. Wiersbe, (this covers the New Testament) Or the Warren Wiersbe’s Old Testament “Be” Series Or the "Be Commentary Series" by Wiersbe, in which you can buy each book of the bible separately. 

2. The MacArthur study Bible
3. The Bible knowledge commentary : An exposition of the scriptures
 
I just LOVE Wiersbe's Be series of commentaries as I said before.  He brings every single book alive and makes it very personal.  It really helps you grow a lot! As it's more expensive (at first) to buy the whole New or Old testament series, I also wanted to list the individual titles of the entire Be series as it can be a lot easier to buy them one at a time that way.

Another very good one that I recommend for a fantastic study of the gospels is: 
The Life of Christ: A Study Guide to the Gospel Record by M. S. Mills 
It can be hard to find but if you keep watch on amazon they have had it once in awhile for a decent price. Honestly though, it's priceless, it's so good! Having studied it, I'd recommend any study you can find by him.
