This book on Philippians is
different. It is a thorough devotional
and discipleship commentary, written by
a prison evangelist, who was a pastor,
criminal lawyer and advocate.
Although not a theological text book it
is Bible-based and mentally
stimulating. It illustrates and applies
the principles met. It quotes widely
from books which themselves motivate
discipleship and devotion to Christ,
illuminating the book's Biblical
truths. Although written for Christians
this book also presents the gospel
clearly and compellingly and in context.
- Part One gives a general panoramic
overview.
- Part Two sketches briefly the
characters encountered in the
Philippian church.
- Part Three is the main section. In it
each verse is carefully examined, but
to give ongoing continuity and context,
mini-overviews helpfully punctuate the
text.
- Part Four poses two questions on each
verse.
This is invaluable for personal study,
group discussions, church or fellowship
Bible studies, or one-on-one
discipleship training.
