OCA: Oracle Certified Associate Java SE 8 Programmer I Study Guide: Exam 1Z0-808 covers every exam objective, functional programming included.
Details
Java 8 was the release that forced functional programming into the exam, and the guide treats it as a main topic rather than an appendix. Operators, conditionals, loops and object oriented design fill out the rest.
Who it's for
People sitting 1Z0-808. Reviewers arriving from C++ or C# report that it closed the Java specific gaps quickly, and several credit it directly with passing scores in the high eighties and low nineties.
Good to know
Two complaints are consistent. There are typos and errata in the text, and the paper stock is thin enough that reviewers compare it to newsprint. Neither stopped the people who passed.
