Publisher's summary
“Philippians is so simple and at the same time so profound that it speaks profitably to Christians at every level of spiritual understanding, age, and maturity.”
As James Montgomery Boice points out, no book in the Bible is so filled with joy as Philippians. Even though Paul faced possible execution for his faith, he managed to remain joyful in the midst of terrible circumstances.
Beyond providing encouragement, Philippians also contains a wealth of great themes. As Boice explains, it covers most of the major doctrines of the Christian faith and is at the same time extremely practical. Topics covered include:
- The Secret of Spiritual Fruit (1:9-11)
- What Is Christianity? (1:21)
- The Truth about Jesus Christ (2:6)
- What Are Your Goals? (2:14-16)
- Knowing the Living Christ (3:10-11)
- Getting Along with Other Christians (4:2-5)
- The God Who Provides (4:19)
These expositions will appeal to serious Bible students and interested laypersons. Many study Paul’s letter with the goal of coming to know Jesus better. “If you study it,” writes Boice, “Philippians will point you to Christ - he is the dominant presence of Philippians, as he is throughout the Word of God.”

According to James Montgomery Boice, Paul’s great letter to the Ephesians is “a minicourse in theology, centered on the church”. Writing to the church in a city much like modern-day New York, Paul laid out his mature vision of the Christian faith’s central elements. The apostle set these fundamental doctrines in the context of the church as the body of Christ. In this compelling commentary, Boice presents the message of Paul with great depth and clarity.

What can we gain from studying the book of Genesis? According to James Montgomery Boice, starting at the beginning of everything causes us to think about God and to understand ourselves as fallen yet redeemable. This knowledge not only deepens our understanding of the Christian faith but also enhances our ability to impart the gospel’s truth to a world desperately in need of it. This first volume on the book of Genesis, exploring chapters 1-11, shows how the story of redemption—essentially all of Scripture—has no significance apart from the story of creation and fall.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 5
No man in Scripture lived more consistently and completely for God than did Joseph, a favorite son of Jacob. In times of adversity and in times of prosperity - both of which offered the temptation to deny God and his lordship - Joseph remained steadfast. Living by Faith is the third and final volume on Genesis. Volume one focused on God’s relationship to the cosmos and to all peoples of the earth. Volume two traced the “new beginning” of God’s plan of redemption. In volume three, Boice follows the complete story of Joseph, a “man for all seasons”.
