Agree on a good student/study Bible and "The Bible Recap".
Also, the best advice I can give you is to understand the context behind EVERYTHING you read in the Bible. A quote I often hear is "A text without context is just a pretext to anything you want it to mean". It's why so many passages are misunderstood or misinterpreted (or sometimes intentionally misrepresented). Remember, the Bible was written for you, but it was not written to you. Any time you're reading the Bible, you need to start by asking (and answering) 3 questions:
1. Who is doing the writing?
2. Who are they writing to?
3. Why are they writing it?
