It is always important to do your interpretations of Biblical passages first before you ever consult commentaries. You want to read what is there before you read something into the text.

Building a bibliography to communicate Jesus, the truth of scripture and the gospel is something that I have done and I'm currently doing but if your interest is somewhere else then I can't help you.
I'm confused... are you saying books are a waste of time?
