Book Description, Modified from Goodreads:
The apostle Paul's most personal letter was sent to the Christians of Philippi. This intimate and loving epistle was written to believers who lived in the shadow of the Roman tyrant Nero. Paul himself was in a Roman prison, facing an uncertain future. Surprisingly, he wrote to the Philippians of the importance of Christian joy. As they were together in a worshiping community, in the midst of their difficulties, they could experience the joy that Jesus promised those who follow him. In this pastoral and practical book, David Jeremiah will lead you through the book of Philippians so that you can learn to experience the joy of the Lord in your daily life.


My Review:
Turning Toward Joy is a commentary on the book of Philippians. The author worked his way through the verses in Philippians. He included word studies and background information to help readers understand the verses, provided his commentary, and quoted others that he thought made good points about the verses. His points weren't difficult to follow, so anyone who wants to study Philippians can benefit from this book. Overall, I agreed with his theology and gained some new insights from reading this book.


If you've read this book, what do you think about it? I'd be honored if you wrote your own opinion of the book in the comments.
