- You can tell a lot about someone by their library... I finally did a library tour. Many of y'all have been asking for a long time and I've been putting it off, so here it is.

Great Library man. I am a Judge by profession but would really love to build a theologically rich library. This video just did it for me.
Great tour of your library. What I like most is that it is theologically diverse. You’re not stuck just reading a certain theological position but you read across the board. Keep up the good work and I greatly enjoy your videos.
Raymond Cook -thank you Sir!
Great Library, I'm a Pastor and Bible Teacher in Michigan that also has a large library, and a Navy Retired Vet.
I noticed in this video of our library two of my favorite books-'Looking Unto Jesus' by Isaac Ambrose and 'The Collected Works of St. John of the Cross'. I have been reading St John of the Cross for 45 years and Ambrose since the late 70's. peace
WOW! Great library!!!
Man! What an epic collection! And praise the Lord for your passion for Him! Keep fighting the good fight brother! God bless
Blake Rudler -thanks Blake!!
Very nice and I completely agree about being able to build your library by making it a priority.
Bible Believing Christian -yes. If it’s valuable to us, we will appropriate.
SA Tabernacle Amen, I absolutely agree.
And my mother says I have too many books lol. You can never have too many what a great resource you have there!
True, the value of commentary I've noticed is in multiple commentaries.
I was so fascinated! I'm from a Spanish-speaking country, but I definitely love the Word of God and reformed literature, including bible commentaries, dictionaries and the other resources for self learning. I really love your library, brother. I have some of these works shown in the video in my mobile device through Google Play Books, not the same as this beautiful treasure you have, but the content is great. Blessings from the Lord and support from Bogotá. x
I love Bogotá! Blessings.
Great tour! Glad you have so many books and reference works that inspire you!
Elizabeth B -thanks!!
I love the treasury of David! One of my better purchases.
Awesome video Dave. Thanks for sharing. God bless you and your family. You are all true inspirations all.
Eric Ferro -thank you Eric! I pray all is well with you.
Usually when I meet anyone new and visit their home one of the first things I like to see is their library, if they have one. You're right in saying you can tell a lot about someone from their library. I've been a Christian for over 40 years and have grown my library over that time. It's been purged many times for various reasons. Sometimes financial but most often because I no longer found the books of value to me spiritually.
I enjoyed watching your video and your comments. I too have a love for Leonard Ravenhill and I actually know the author of the biography you have of his. I also noticed you own some AW Tozer who was a very fine preacher. Some authors that you may not know about that are in similar veins I could recommend would be:
T.Austin-Sparks, Alan Redpath, FJ Huegel, LE Maxwell, CA Coates, JB Stoney, Major W Ian Thomas, HCG Moule, Ruth Paxson
I have found most anything written by these authors worth your time. I hope you're encouraged in view of the Lord's Day and the Day of the Lord!
Thanks a ton!!
That’s a lot of premium bibles.
Hard not to be envious of this collection. The Allan's & Schuylers alone..
I'm really inspired! Hope to have a library soon :)
Leonard Ravenhill is the truth. More people should listen to him
I agree, but I think he'd concede to Jesus for the title of Truth.
my only question is what does one do when they run out of space in their library for commentaries and bib les.. I am about there already.. I really do not wish to start stacking books and bibles on the floor.. but I have no more room for bookcases.. and I was thinking about attaching some shelves to a couple small wall spaces I have free...HELP..!!..oh ....and about the Anchor series which I see you have a few...... I am up to abot 60 volumes of these.. I have to really look for the bargains.. I think the entire set has close to 100 volumes?.. and the other thing is on some of these... they have updated commentaries.. such as Ruth.. which one person did a commentary on and then 20 years later someone else is doing a completely different commentary on Ruth.. under the Anchor editorship.... this is going on with several of their originals now.. what's up with that?...
Thank you for your library tour, I enjoyed it. I wanted to add some charismatic books into my library, I saw some in your library that I'm considering of adding.
I LOVED this video!! Thanks for sharing!😊💜
My pleasure. thanks!
YAHVEH bless you brother
Bombastic LIBRARY!!!
Seriously awesome stuff!
your library looks a lot like mine.. but yours is a bit more organized.... most of my volume sets are together... but I ran out of shelf space for a few of my bibles.. I have well over 200... many of the same ones you have... such as the Preachers bible.. the Allan bible and Schuyler... but I have a ton of good study bibles.. all translations.. I wanted to get Mac Arthurs Preachers bible in the NASB.. so that is one of my newer ones...I have commentary sets going back to the late 1800's.. which are getting harder to find now... but I prefer the first editions over the reprinted ones even though the material is the same..my Pulpit Commentary set is from the 1950's I believe... for the longest time my favorite commentator was Joseph Parker... I recently picked up a 12 volume set on Job written by Joseph Caryl.. in the 1600's.. a reprinted set of course.. I could find some scattered volumes of that but not the complete original set...I have a few other scattered commentaries.. that I could not find complete sets of for a decent price.. such as the Anchor bible commentary series by Yale.. and Coffman Commentaries.. but I have complete sets of Langes, Grays, Clarkes, Interpreters.... Biblical Illustrator... Preachers Homelitics...Tyndale, Barkley ,Ironside.. Communicators...Laymans... Barnes.. Calvin.....Poole...a One volume commentary by everyone from Zondervan to Matthew Henry and tons of others.. such as Arthur Peake...tons of Spurgeon's works.. and other bible commentators.. who I suppose were well known preachers... who decided to write commentaries on their own..I also have bib les like the amplified and the Message in my collection.. along with ones like The Voice.. etc....
Am I correct in seeing American NIV Commentaries on your shelf? Is so, that's cool. I'm currently studying through them.
Over-all, great collection! Thanks for sharing!
Yes. That's One of my favorite sets. I'm currently building the New Beacon set now--that's been good as well.
@@davidleebrown3956 Awesome!
@@davidleebrown3956 Adding the New Beacon to my wish-list!
Great video. I’ve really enjoyed growing mine. So much to read and not enough time!
Hunter Adams -yes. I hope there’s books in Heaven.
Thanks for sharing! What an awesome library!
Martha Zoe -thanks!!
cool library! thanks for sharing!
Alike -my pleasure
Im fortunate that I live in a city where there is a seminary which the bookstore has books from the students who don't have any use for the books have the bookstore sell them on a consignment basis.
Also half- price bookstore. Seminary students, churches, will sell their books to half-price bookstore
If you're open to recommendations, I would say, Read the Complete Word Study volumes you have there by Zodhiates. Look up each word in every verse as you read; pay attention to the grammar, esp.verb tenses and prepositions. Vital words that leap off the page, using the index, look at how each Greek word is rendered throughout the entire NT, and also do the same with the OT, as you can. When you have done this, you will know and understand more than you could ever dream possible. The dictionaries that go with these, will also give more examples. That 4 volume set, along with the Strongest Strong's, are your best books. Jay Green and George Ricker Berry's interlinears are also valuable. Get William Tyndale's NT and The Indestructible Book, by Ken Connoly next, and try reading all you can about The English Bible, and its history. Foxe's Book of Martyrs will show you the faith you need, and the enemy that we have, spiritual reality! Lloyd-Jones and Matthew Henry are your best commentaries, although puritans and reformers will help you understand justification/imputed righteousness and sanctification/imparted righteousness. Before you begin your reading journey, read The Person of Christ, by Andrew Bonar, about 115 pages. All of Grace, by C.H.Spurgeon is good too. Blessedness, is being 'in Christ'.
Thanks a ton Michael!
Great video. I recognized some of the books in your library as I have some of them in my own library.
I don’t know why I never thought to ask for this video but sweeeet!!
Glad you weren’t board 😂
Definitely a diverse library. Bill Johnson, C.S Lewis, and Sproul all in one spot XD
Do you have any opinions/desire to read literature? 1984, Fahrenheit 451, etc? Regardless, awesome library! Thanks for the tour:)
Thanks, I haven't really had any desire to read much else. History and constitutional scholarship perhaps.
Why no Macarthur Study Bible?😯
You have a wonderful library. I think I spied a volume of Hendriksen/Kistemaker New Testament Commentary on one of your shelves. They are really worth seeking out. God bless you and keep you!
The Antiquarian -thank you! And actually I think you were seeing the Anchor Bible Commentary there.
beautiful library brother. I'm surprised you don't have many systematic theologies because you mentioned you found what the scriptures teach very important.
Hi David watched your literary tour was wondering if you have JC Ryle's expository comments of the gospels.I have been using them and they are very helpful with helping me understand the gospels also looking for a follow up commentary after Ryle though it will take me a while to get through his commentary. Thank you have been enjoying your videos Ted Courtney
Thanks for the tour! I found the models of the UH-1N. There's a few kits out there but I found a model that you can include any nose art, tail number, and squadron markings. Lemme know if you want a kit or model and I'll send the link!
C Fluke -yes please share.

This was really cool!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.
I LOVED seeing your library!! Yes! Isn't the Word series FABULOUS! My library has gone the other way, I've given away several bookshelves for digital but the Word Study series remains on the bookshelf I have left! Oh....the 14 volumes of Wesley! awesome
God Stories -yes the word study series is my most used volumes aside from the Bible.
@God Stories I appreciate your comment... and I have been tempted to go digital as well.. but about 80 % of my library is books circa 1880 - 1920 .. copyright.. I cherish these the greatest.. ...ones written before video and machines.. when most of America sat in parlors.. and used lanterns.. I get a certain sense.. of importance of God's word.. and the priority it had more so from those ages than many of the more modern stuff written now...many of my volumes are rarities... they cannot be found.. as about all of them are out of print.. I just cannot see giving those hard cover treasures up for something I cannot grasp in my hands...
@@jeffcarlson3269 That's beautiful Jeff. I'd be right there with you!
Thoughts on the set of Wesley's works?
Nothin but love. The index makes it very easy to use.
@@davidleebrown3956 Thank you very much. I am reformed in my convictions but love what John Wesley did in preaching and teaching for others, so would like to read him, even though I might disagree with some of his theological conclusions.
Thank you David so much for showing your library. Very informative. You are so inspiring. Please don't ever take down your Delighting in the Word series. I watch it over and over and it helps me keep focused on the Lord. Wondering which books help you with starting a study of a specific book of the Bible in detail?
Thanks so much for the feedback. I'll leave it up till Jesus comes back.
Hey have u got any videos about how u educated yourself and got I to ministry without seminary? I'd really appreciate it. Love your videos God bless :)
Lovely library!
Karen Wasson -thank you.
David, I'm curious. What's the Allan bible in the stack of Schuylers in this video? The real thin tan one?
It's a Chant bound ESV NCR
Would you sell one of the preacher's, bible? I can't find one.
Gregory Metcalf -I use them both so no, I explain why here: ruclips.net/video/3gboa5LCfvQ/видео.html ... but they just released a 2nd printing at 316publishing -are they sold of out already?
The best “self help” , or better yet “soul help” is the Bible!!
Nice. Love it.
recon501 -thanks!!
Mr. Brown, I want to start reading Christian Theology or Christian Commentary. I was wondering what a good starting point would be? Thank you for your time
How long have you been a Christian and what's your life in the Bible looked like since? Heave you read it through yet?
@@davidleebrown3956 I was raised going to catholic and pentecostal church
Amazing
Thanks!
I love libraries to me they are hevin to me
as someone who knows close to nothing about Christianity, what do these collections talk about? are they series of stories w commentary or rule books?
Not really "rule books." Mostly Commentaries, encyclopedias, language studies, historical books, and a few Bibles.
cool guy
nice library
Thanks!
very cool library. I was thinking about doing a library tour.
Miguel Fuentes -please do and let me know the link when it’s done.
I'll love too see yours too. Miguel I enjoy seeing bibles & books 💞📚
Cat woods ok I’ll make a video on Monday and upload it Monday.

Hello my Brother ! Have you ever read a commentary set thru or do you know of someone who's tackled this endeavor ?
No, and I don't know anyone personally who has.
George Whitefield read Matthew Henry's commentary through 6 times in his life. Spurgeon read it multiple times as well, & thought that Matthew Poole supplemented it nicely. (I concur).
is it just me or is it weird that he doesn't have Wayne Grudem's Systematic Theology, seems like a staple to a theological library.
Hector Lopez -not weird to me 🤷♂️ I appreciate his work in building bridges, but I don’t have a plan to read through His.
Bill Johnson??? eek
This might be obvious. But how do commentaries work?
No prob. They explain the Scriptures. Every author or series has it's own unique point of view and focus, so I've noticed that value of commentary is in multiple commentaries. Some may focus on the original language more whereas others focus on how the Scripture applies today. I personally prefer the ones that get into language, background, and contextual explanation.
@@davidleebrown3956 thank you!!
Stick with the kjb
I have plenty of them. Thanks for caring.
Awesome tour David. Thanks for opening your home and library to us. You are clearly a man thirsty for the word of God and it's contagous. Just a quick ask, do you ever do Hebrew word studies and if you do, what lexicons do you use ie. BDB? I'd love to see a review of other tools that you use to unpack the scripture. Thanks for all you do. God Bless.
Sorry, I just watched your video on commentary and dictionaries. I should have looked before I asked. That was perfect. Thanks for all your hard work.
lol -awesome 👍👍
P.S. Always read the Scriptures from your two Complete Word Study volumes, as once really broken in good, will nearly open to the very page on your mind...my experience. God bless all that 'love the Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity' (Eph.6:24)
Thanks again!!
Cool video
Terry Smith -tanks!!
You're welcome@@davidleebrown3956
Video starts at 4:48
I started at the beginning of this one.
Please read the patristics.
-Definitely want to.
Good for you! I appreciate your focus on God's word! I am so glad that I had the opportunity to go through a good Bible college and seminary. I really do not like reading, so I value Bible in what I read. Thank you for this video.
Thanks John!
Hey, you got any Bibles? Seriously, you have a wonderful library!
I’m thinking about getting one next fall.
Keep telling myself, "Thou shall not covet thy neighbors library." Hey were you able to find a place to buy the NAC as a complete set?
Ben Naughton -lol. Vision to grow is good though.
Ben Naughton -and then to answer your question, I got the NAC book by book at CBD. -I couldn’t find anywhere to buy the whole set (even by Testament).
@@davidleebrown3956 Ha ha. I've got vision brother. Right now I have the entire Word Biblical Commentary and random commentaries on different books of the Bible. I really like the NAC and used it a lot in college back in the day. My greatest find was the entire set of the Theological Dictionary of the New Testament at a garage sale for $2.
Ben Naughton -love that!!
Very well put together library brother. I also like and have been influenced by R.C Sproul as well
John Taylor -just his one book Knowing Scripture was enough to make me fall in love with the man.
SA Tabernacle I probably have 25 or so of his books as well as Piper, Washer and MacArthur and many of the puritans as well. I love my three volume set of The Christian in Complete Armor, very convicting and edifying
John Taylor -love it!!
Schweeeeet!
Adam Meade -tanks!
Spotted the Treasury of Scripture Knowledge in there. Have you used the New TOSK at all? I haven’t used either but have been thinking of getting one. Just not sure which to go with.
Adam Meade -you won’t be sorry. It’s really great, but it is free on Blue Letter Bible.
SA Tabernacle Oh, ha! Nice! I have that app on my phone but generally use the NET bible app. I’ll hafta check that out. Thanks, homie!
Adam Meade -fo sho bro!!
It's really sad that you only have one book. Having hundreds of versions of the same book, and then loads of books about deconstructing that one book all from the perspective of people who believe that first book to be divine, doesn't make you well read; it makes you dogmatic. I don't believe for one minute anything I say will ever dissuade you from your faith and I won't try, that would be insulting and disrespectful. The thing is; at no point did I see any critique of the bible in there. At no point did I see non-religious counter texts. I own multiple bibles but without a counter to test them, they haven't been challenged. I also own 'The God Delusion' by Richard Dawkins, 'Arguably' and 'God Is Not Great' by Christopher Hitchens, 'The End Of Faith' by Sam Harris, 'Breaking The Spell' by Daniel C. Dennett, 'Good Without God' by Greg Epstein and many more. Remember that the bible tells you that you should test your faith, if your beliefs are found wanting like you said, your faith is not yet truth; and honestly, if you've not sought out the writing of prominent atheists, you haven't tested your faith.
I wasn't a Christian till 26...before that I was an atheist. I'm well acquainted with the positions of those you mentioned...they're just not going to take up real-estate on my bookshelf 11 years later.
@@davidleebrown3956 that's great to hear for me, I am 25 atm and have been studying the Bible for a couple of years, but taking that last step to truly accept the gospel as truth is a struggle for me after being a materialist for so many years. Any advice on how you did it please?
If you want to learn truth study islam.
Islam is not truth. If you want truth, seek Jesus. He is the way the truth and the life.
Christ is the truth
Personally o have always beloved that even if your not religious you should still read the bible and other religious texts. For one learning about the beliefs of others is a good way to understand them and get along better(or at least learn to tolerate them). Not mention you can be of any other faith or even an atheist and still find wisdom, inspiration and hope in religious texts.
I also like that you understand that you need different translations of the bible. Many people don't understand that translating something from one language to anthor is not simple.
my only question is what does one do when they run out of space in their library for commentaries and bib les.. I am about there already.. I really do not wish to start stacking books and bibles on the floor.. but I have no more room for bookcases.. and I was thinking about attaching some shelves to a couple small wall spaces I have free...HELP..!!..oh ....and about the Anchor series which I see you have a few......

I've moved into a different room and added two more shelves since this video. I suppose that's one way to do it.
@@davidleebrown3956 ha... yeah I was thinking of doing that... we have a spare bedroom that is a little bigger... I could move all the books from one room to the other... but the wife is saying that is her only "room"... I'm not sure if she would speak to me if I gave her a smaller room for what she considers "just a hobby" with me... she already shrieks everytime a book gets delivered as it is.. I have done some re-arranging.. and cleared off some space.. up on top of a couple of bookshelves.. that should give me enough room for about 60 more... maybe I need to start buying softcover editions? that would take up a slightly smaller space than hard covers..maybe......I have a couple other book cases that have some room on top of them... so that may give me a few more book spaces.. I'll need to keep a small step ladder in that room but they make foldable ones so that shouldn't be too bad...
