5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome writer, April 19, 2002

By	Patricia A. Faussett (Henderson, NV USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: To Live Is Christ: Embracing the Passion of Paul (Hardcover)

I first became aware of the vibrancy of Beth Moore's teachings at my church's women's group. What an awesome teacher of God's word she is,and this book did not disappoint me. Beth takes a look at the life of Paul, from his birth, conversion from a zealous Jew to a humbled Christian, and the missionary journeys he undertook in Christ's name and brings them to life on these pages. She has a way of pondering aspects of the biblical narratives that really open one's eyes, and gives you a depth and breadth and taste of what life might have been like for the apostle Paul that one normally wouldn't realize, and then encourages and challenges us to live our lives for Christ in similar ways. I did not read this book in one sitting, but read a little every day, and came away delighted to have "tasted" each morsel she offered. I love Beth Moore's devotion to the Lord, and she has inspired me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Study on the life and influence of Paul, August 12, 2002

By	Karen Potts (Lake Jackson, Texas) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This review is from: To Live Is Christ: Embracing the Passion of Paul (Hardcover)

If you are looking for a definitive study of the life of Paul, this would be a good place to start. Beth Moore begins by reconstructing what Paul's early life must have been like, based on studies of Jewish life in those times. She then proceeds to the Biblical accounts in Acts which describe his conversion, and subsequent ministry. She then proceeds to the letters Paul wrote to his disciples, such as Timothy. Moore teaches us what a truly inspiring figure Paul is and applies his example of faithfulness into what God would have us aspire to today.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jeffreyh, January 25, 2007

By	Jeff Haldeman (Advance, NC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: To Live Is Christ: Embracing the Passion of Paul (Hardcover)

This is perhaps as good as any of everything Beth Moore has written, although given the very un-attractive cover design, this book did poorly in 'popular' sales. But by word from experience, this is extremely well written in keeping consistent with her context, and yet contains some very honest interpretations which is at times a hard pill to swallow, but insightfully proposed with clear challenges, as well as an in-depth view of truly what is associated and required "to Live is Christ" embodied through one willing to submit to Jesus Christ without compromise. This is a must for any person seriously wishing to follow Jesus un-swaveringly.
