Jarfff's Significant 40 Resources

40 is a significant number in some circles, like in the collection of usually 66 smaller books into one sacred volume, 40 items in my readings signify therefore a significant collection, with a major dominant theme, sprinkled by some other kinds of stuff.

40 – thank you to my great friend @bookerdana for endorsing this to check out, i love how Roger Ebert saw films from his audio commentaries i’ve heard and that special show they used to air with Gene Siskel, it will be a pure pleasure to get to know the man in Life Itself.
I love study Bibles. So much more insight and context than I’d understand on my own. I only recently started looking at study guides as well.
You’ve got a great collection there. 🙂

@Colonelmustardseed Thank you!! Agreed, many miss out because they think God's gonna speak to them without the guidance of those who have made it their life's work to teach the text. Blessings to you my friend 😊
