Stock your bookshelf with a few recommended books…

Global Study Bible (ESV) or The ESV Study Bible // Don’t have a good study Bible? You can get a free Global Study Bible from the Zero Dollar Bookstore at church

Triumph of the Lamb - Johnson // A good commentary on Revelation tracing the main arc of the book, its specific genre, and connections to the rest of the Bible 

A Shorter Commentary on Revelation - Beale // Dr. Beale has reduced a very large commentary into a more manageable size and excels and drawing connections between Revelation and the Old Testament for better understanding  (And “shorter” in this case doesn’t mean “short”)
