When I draw near to the end of a sermon series, I usually share resources I utilized in my study and preparation for sermons. Here is the bibliography for our recent series, “The Tree and the Vine: Psalm 1 and John 15.” I hope some of these books are as helpful for you as you explore these two wonderful portions of Scripture.
