Alistair Begg, pastor of Parkside Church in Ohio, has provided the resource, Truth for Life, and these are resources to understand the Bible. Pastor Begg provides a treasure trove of resources from sermons to books along with related websites and corresponding resources.

John Piper, retired pastor over 30 years to Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis, MN, wrote a book called Desiring God that became a foundation and website resource, DesiringGod.org. Piper has also been known for his message Boasting Only in the Cross which provided the popular phrase, "Don't Waste Your Life." This also turned into a book and rap song by Lecrae. The DesiringGod.org website contains an incredible amount of content that covers specific Bible passages, topics, question and answers, difficult subjects, conference information, and biographical sermon series of Christian people throughout history. The resounding message Piper makes from pastoring and Desiring God is that "God is most glorified when we are most satisfied in him."

Trying to find early manuscripts of the Bible's New Testament? Dr. Dan Wallace of Dallas Theological Seminary along with team have set out since 2002 to find, digitize, organize, and make accessible to anyone looking for answers through The Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts.

The Bible Project is an up-and-coming short and illustrative video tutorial series of the Bible. The videos range from covering biblical themes to explaining every book of the Bible (e.g. chapter by chapter). A pastor and video entrepreneur came together with Gerry Breshears of Western Seminary to produce timely, short, in depth, clear, and visually helpful resources to understand God's word for all ages. As more funds come in to support the overall project, the quicker videos are produced.

Todd Bolen, owner and author of the incredible and exhaustive pictorial library called Bible Places is a Christian friend, classmate at Dallas Theological Seminary, and now associate professor at The Master's College (now University). He has lived and taught in Israel while taking, collecting, and organizing these great pictures, including all the extended versions of places beyond Israel. He has produced this massive collection of quality images of Bible places for others to use in teaching, sharing, studying, and explaining the Bible in a visual and accurate way.
