About mePastor at Bethel Evangelical Church, Clydach, near Swansea, and I also work at the Evangelical Movement of Wales.
About my libraryMy library is organised by Dewey classification (except for those marked as unclassified). However, not all my Dewey numbers have been entered onto LibraryThing yet. Once this is done, I'll tag everything, using the Dewey numbers as a starting point.
The vast majority of my books are biblical/theological, and I'm currently researching The Gift of Prophecy in the New Testament, so there's plenty of books on that topic. Electronic books are tagged with libronix, quickverse, wordsearch or pradis.
If you're wondering how I got all my Logos/Libronix books into LibraryThing, here's how.
I tend to buy books - particularly commentaries - in series (both to save money and for completeness), even though you inevitably end up with some books that aren't quite as good as you hoped. The main series which I have in my library are:
Academic/Technical
Baker Exegetical Commentary on the New Testament
Hermeneia
International Critical Commentary
JPS Torah Commentary / JPS Bible Commentary
New International Commentary on the Old Testament
New International Commentary on the New Testament
New International Greek Testament Commentary
Pillar New Testament Commentary
Word Biblical Commentary
Middle of the Road
Bible Speaks Today*
IVP New Testament Commentary
New American Commentary
New International Biblical Commentary
NIV Application Commentary*
Tyndale Old Testament Commentaries
Tyndale New Testament Commentaries
UBS Handbooks
Devotional/Expository
Focus on the Bible*
Preaching the Word
Historical Interest
Geneva Commentaries*
Moffatt New Testament Commentary
Most of these I have as complete sets (as many volumes have been published, at any rate), though some sets not full. These I've marked with a star.

It is my interpretation that the artillery aspects applies to the Allied artillery as a group. It is difficult to fault the German .88 as inferior weaponry. Hastings, I believe, is citing the Sherman tank; the lack of a proper tank cannon( Firefly excluded) and a host of other weaponry. I grew up with jingoistic, Legion BS that the Canadians were the finest infantry in the world in WW2. Right, they landed in France well trained but with no combat experience(Italy transfers excluded). They were punished for their effort in France by Montgomery who sent them up towards Holland. They did, of course, learn on the job and went on to fame in various battles.-30-

I'm embarrassed to say that I don't know how to post the picture somewhere in case anyone would like to see how a mosiac picture turns out with so few books. The file was too big to go on my "profile" spot, and I don't know how blogging works. Guess I'll have to learn something new again tomorrow night (or whenever I have time).

did you see my message about the Word Biblical Commentary "series" problem that you posted? I was the one messing with the WBC series at the same time that you were!
Cheers,
Murray

I was able to use it a few years ago to help with a research paper on the very subject.

My Libronix DLS compatible books (that have an ISBN, anyway) are listed in my LibraryThing account; I just haven't tagged them as such. I describe the process I used on my blog.

I see we have at least one book in common (Schaff's History; actually that should count as 8).
I guess by now you realize what you've gotten yourself into researching a subject like NT prophecy!
Over here in the U.S. that frequently means eschatology but if your interest is more toward spiritual gifts then I may know of some work that you'd find helpful. I'll send you an email.
