Mounce's Complete Expository Dictionary of Old and New Testament Words
William D. Mounce

For years, Vine’s Expository Dictionary has been the standard word study tool for pastors and laypeople, selling millions of copies. But sixty-plus years of scholarship have shed extensive new light on the use of biblical Greek and Hebrew, creating the need for a new, more accurate, more thorough dictionary of Bible words. This dictionary is searchable in English and does not require knowledge of the Hebrew or Greek alphabet.

Truth Aflame: Theology for the Church in Renewal
Larry D. Hart

This is a Systematic Theology book from a Charismatic perspective. It blends charismatic renewal and classic evangelical faith. As the Pentecostal/charismatic movement continues to grow, so does the need for solid theological resources. Very few Systematic Theology books are written from a distinctly charismatic perspective. While academically sound, Truth Aflame is written with a practical, pastoral flavor.
