1.Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible has long been a favorite study tool of mine. It's a very large and fairly inexpensive book that lists each and every word that appears in the King James Version of the Bible. It reveals every single place (book, chapter and verse) that any word appears, along with a reference number. The reference number will then show you the Hebrew or Greek word that was originally penned, giving you the meanings and intentions behind it. The title-link above takes you to the hard copy, available for sale at Amazon.com ... or, if you'd rather, I have a Web Search Tool here on my site that performs the same functions.
2. I also enjoy my copy of The Amplified Bible -- because of the way it translates and expounds on the original Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek texts at a glance -- great for fast and easy clarification.
3. A favorite for regular use, is my New International Version - Compact Thinline Bible because it reads so comfortably, feels great in my hands, is easy to carry around and has all my notes scribbled in every available white-space the margins allow!
4. Also, for serious meditation and study, I have my New International Version - Study Bible which places maps, notes, links to relative Scriptures and commentaries by worthy Bible scholars, all on the same pages of the verses I'm studying. This is an excellent tool for greater understanding!
Note:The NIV Bible is my favorite version of them all because it not only reads very comfortably, but it really does a great job in interpreting the truer meanings and intentions of those originally-penned Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek portions of Scripture. If you have your own copy of the NIV, be sure to check out my NIV Bible Clinic.
5. HalleluYah Scriptures | Restored Name Bible:
Prior to 2005, I couldn't even find a Restored Name Bible ... the first I was able to get my hands on was the Word of Yahweh (see #6, below), which does a great job of restoring names, but goes no further than that. Also, the Word of Yahweh is a King James Version of the Bible which is not only difficult to understand, due to the old English, but has many of the unforgivable errors found in all English translations.
@ July 14, 2011: Here is a very exacting English version of the Bible with the Father's Name restored, the Son's Name restored, and many blasphemous pagan references to the Father, His Son, and His People, removed. Also, this version goes much farther than that! It represents an extensive 6-year effort by Dr. Chris J. Koster in creating a verbatim English translation of the original Hebrew Scriptures.
The Best Bible Version of All Is the HalleluYah Scriptures!

6.The Word of Yahweh is a wonderful King James version of the Bible that has restored God's name, Yahweh ... Jesus' name, Yahshua ... and many other titles, like Elohim, Master and Sovereign -- something all other Bibles have neglected to do! If you want to know more about why I think this is so important, read this.
7.The Interlinear Bible ... Hebrew | Greek | English ... edited by Jay P. Green. This is the only complete interlinear Bible available in English, and it's keyed to Strong's Exhaustive Concordance. Featuring the complete Hebrew and Greek texts with a direct English rendering below each word, it also includes The Literal Translation of the Bible in the outside column. Strong's numbers are printed directly above the Hebrew and Greek words which enables those with no prior knowledge of Greek or Hebrew to easily access a wealth of language reference works keyed to Strong's references. The Hebrew is based on the Masoretic Text and the Greek is from the Textus Receptus.
8. A must for any serious study of the New Testament Scriptures is The Power New Testament - Revealing Jewish Roots (3rd Edition). This book has over 1700 footnotes and a 70-page glossary that brings out many Jewish insights to reveal to us what those passages meant to their Jewish authors. The Power New Testament truly reveals very important aspects of the original Greek texts which are frequently overlooked. It also translates Hebrew idioms that are commonly missed and explains important Jewish customs.
Read your Bible daily ... it will keep you from being deceived by the things of this world by renewing your mind ... and it will heal your body, too.
Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world
but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
Romans 12:2
My words are life to those who find them
and health to the whole body.
Proverbs 4:22
