This review is from: Be Ready (1 & 2 Thessalonians): Living in Light of Christ's Return (The BE Series Commentary) (Paperback)

It really wraps up Roman's like I've never seen it done before. It makes the Law of God real. What previously was dry and uninteresting, he (re)opens it up and shows us how it is so applicable in our world today, from the decadences of society to how even christians are just as much in fault...

This review is from: Be Ready (1 & 2 Thessalonians): Living in Light of Christ's Return (The BE Series Commentary) (Paperback)

Warren Wiersbe is gifted as a Bible teacher. His "Be" series books are understandable to the average laymen, yet he fearlessly tackles interpretation and application of the text.

This book is great for personal study, sermon preparation, a home Bible study, or even a Sunday School class.

The author holds to the inspiration/inerrancy and practicality of the Bible. Wiersbe approaches the Thessalonian epistles from a Premillennial, Pretribulational position. Top notch for the laymen, Bible teacher, or pastor. I have pastored over 22 years, and I have time and time again found his works useful. Thessalonians is one of this best.

We are using this book as a Bible study for a Men's Class. We all have been interested in the way it is laid out. Seems to be working out well.
