Ebooks Online

It's easy to be happy when things go well for you. But what would it be like to have a sense of joy that continued even in times of trouble? Such was the deep joy that the apostle Paul experienced--even in prison. His contentment was neither dependent on circumstances nor changed by difficulty. In his brief letter to the Philippians, Paul will show you too how to live joyfully in every situation.

This is my favorite BIble study series for leading a discussion. Buying "off the shelf" study guides aren't always the best way to go because the points can stray from the original, author's intent. I find this series nails the point each time and provides thoughtful, study questions that foster group discussion.

This study guide is a great start to the book of Philippians but lacks depth. Most of the sections have a short dialogue followed by a list of questions. While the questions are good at starting a conversation there is not much interpretation or background info. I would have liked a little more prompting and detail to lay the groundwork for a conversation.

I liked this book as a study guide because it allowed me to explore the book of Phillipians on a step-by-step basis, then , at each step, think about how I might use the information I had gleaned.

We are thankful for this book! It is a wonderful Bible study book that helps you read the Bible and find your own conclusions!!! They direct you by asking you questions!!!
