The apostle Paul wrote his most personal letter while abused and abandoned in a Roman prison. He wrote to believers who lived in the shadow of the Roman tyrant, Nero. And yet this letter, Philippians, is the most joy-filled epistle in the Bible.

Weaving together modern stories and historical detail, Dr. David Jeremiah explores Philippians verse by verse, showing us what it means to be joyful in spite of circumstances. Whatever you are facing today, Count It All Joy will inspire you to find the joy that Jesus promises.

Top Highlights

“God often has hidden purposes in the adversity He allows.” (source)

“The term saints means ‘set apart ones.’ Whenever the word saint appears in the Bible, it is almost always in the plural form. This is a gentle reminder to us that saints are not meant for isolation but for community.” (source)

“Second, Paul was not only sustained by the prayers of his friends but was also encouraged by the provision of the Holy Spirit.” (source)

“The prisons of our lives can often become places of great opportunity and ministry. Charles Colson” (source)

“It doesn’t take much wisdom to select the good instead of the bad, but choosing between the better and the best requires that we know how to test or critique each choice. Our growth in grace is indicated by the discrimination that rules our lives. As we grow, we begin to reject habits and practices we once approved, because we have learned to see beyond the obvious to the significant.” (source)
