Dr. Constable has commentary notes on every book of the Bible. The notes are updated yearly with any new studies, etc. They are in PDF format and can be downloaded here.
Of course, there are numerous other tools available. I consider the above tools to be a mid-range blend of non-technical text discussions but solid Biblical hermeneutics in their resulting commentary.
Jesus as the Messiah
For an in-depth study into Jesus as the Messiah:
Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum’s ministry, Ariel Ministries, Bible teaching from a Messianic Jewish Perspective. All of his and his team’s writings, video, audio works can be found by clicking here.
The Humanity of Jesus
Want to draw closer to the humanity of Jesus? I do not know a better resource than Gerry Hodges book:
JESUS: An Interview Across Time, Andrew G. Hodges, M.D. Understand that this is a fictional story. But Gerry did extensive research in the Scriptures before writing this book. Click here.
Poor Self-Image?
If you struggle with a poor self-image, this book was used greatly by God’s Spirit in my life as a young man and for re-reads since:
You’re Someone Special, Narramore – out of print, I have found copies at www.Thriftbooks.com.
Guilt?
Guilt is a huge gun that Satan uses against us. I found this book also was greatly used by God’s Spirit as a young man and for re-reads since:
Freedom From Guilt, Narramore and Counts– out of print, I have found copies at www.Thriftbooks.com.
I purchase both of the above books and offer them to my Life Group at Church freely.
