Resources

 

Welcome!

 

The Resources page is a list of some of the books, tapes and DVDs that, although not all Christian, have helped me to strengthen my walk with Jesus, and I’ve categorized them according to the levels and domains* from the Jesusqueens Bible teachings. I’m sure you have your own, as of the making of many books there is no end (Ecclesiastes 12:12).

 

Two domains, Educational and Recreational, are driven by such things as personal interest, career choice and geographic location, so I’ve included my own personal selections as examples, but I’m sure you will have no problem coming up with your own. Don’t be intimidated by copyright dates. Many are still in print!
