Philippians- Teach Yourself the Bible Series: The Epistle of Christian Joy

By Keith Brooks

The Teach Yourself the Bible Series is one of the best New Testament studies you will find anywhere. Each book in the series is packed full of valuable questions on individual chapters of the Bible, check-ups to test your grasp of scriptural truths, and usable suggestions for group study.

Grow in your knowledge of God through each New Testament book, then go on to study six aspects of Christianity essential for all believers: doctrine, prayer, eternal life, prophecy, Christian character, and Bible study.

The church at Philippi was Paul's first established in Europe and one for whom he felt special affection. Study this warm letter to the Philippian believers and learn from the problems they encountered as a growing congregation.

Strengthen your relationship with the living God with all twenty-five books of the Teach Yourself the Bible Series. Each volume is a timeless, yet practical, study of the Word of God.
