I know I'm going to send like an ad here but I simply can't pass up this opportunity to invite you to the 29th Manila International Book Fair at the SMX Convention Center, Pasay City this Sept. 12-16, 2008. Glenn and I have been regular patrons of the book fair for about 3 years now (Glenn, being a book junkie, has been into it for years).
What's interesting for growing Christians like you and me is the proliferation of Bibles and Christian books being offered at discounted prices by Christian book stores and publishers during this period. OMF, for one, usually puts up a big exhibition area and offers a host of books that you might find interesting.
If you really want to dive into the Scriptures, do invest in the study Bibles (e.g. Life Application Bibles) and commentaries (strongly recommending Nelson's Old and New Testament Survey for newbies on Bible commentaries, these are 2 separate volumes) on sale at the OMF booth. (Personally, I get a lot of help from the notes in my NIV Study Bible and commentaries like these.) There are reference books a-plenty which can help you a lot in your studies. This is the best time to avail bagsak presyo discounts, I think they go as high as 50-75% off.
OMF also offers a great selection of Christian-themed literature, both foreign (if you're hankering for Philip Yancey books) and local (if you want to complete your Ed Lapiz collection), and on various topics like apologetics, eschatology, leadership, relationships etc.
