Jesus is coming—the marvelously heartwarming theme of Paul's two electrifying epistles to the Thessalonian believers—is a stirring, rejuvenating communiqué of vibrant hope, one they desperately needed to hear. In today's post 9/11 world where we seemingly lurch from crisis to crisis, this is a message we do well to take on board.

Sam Gordon's love and commitment to our Lord Jesus Christ is impeccable. It is vividly evident in his preaching and teaching of the Word of God. I highly recommend this book to you.

I have found that many commentaries read like frail old men whose vital signs are barely visible. Not this one. With humor, practical wisdom, and vibrant exposition, one can sense the very breath of God through His Word. Sam Gordon takes this living Word and explains it in such a way that you are convinced you hear a heartbeat!

—Dr. Stephen Davey, Senior Pastor, Colonial Baptist Church, Cary, NC

This commentary combines careful attention to the text with a contemporary flavor. It reads like an up to date account of how God works in the lives of people today. Great for Sunday School teachers; also great for devotions and personal understanding.

Worthy is the Lamb: A Walk Through Revelation

"If only I knew what to do with Revelation!"

Famous words, coined by Karl Barth, a theologian of the twentieth century. He's not the first one to feel like that! The chances are, he will not be the last one either. Many of us can identify with his sense of exasperation. . . the fact is, when they eventually get into it, some folk succeed in making heavy weather of it.

This easy-to-read commentary is different. It walks you through one of the most exciting books in the Bible in bite-size chunks, it leaves nothing out, it covers every verse, and, at the end of the day, it's an experience you cannot afford to miss!

Worthy is the Lamb is more than an ascription of praise, it's more than a song of adoration and worship, much more. It's a positive affirmation of who Jesus is. It's a resounding declaration that he is who God says he is. It's an acknowledgement that he is the focus of attention in eternity. It's a fitting tribute to the King enthroned on high and exalted far above all!

An Odyssey of Joy: The Message of Philippians

There are people who enjoy life to the fullest; people who carry joy with them wherever they go. People like the apostle Paul, who, when he found himself in a prison cell in Philippi, started singing praises to God. That's joy! Real, magnetic, joy! The kind you don't see very often in today's society. It's certainly not in the mass media. It's not even in many evangelical churches.

That's where Philippians is different. Written by a man beaten and imprisoned for his joy in Christ, Philippians shows us what true joy really looks like. It shows us the route to take—one of suffering, hardship and overwhelming joy.

Sam Gordon embodies the Christ-centered joy about which he writes. He communicates with warmth and vitality making the truths of Scripture accessible and appealing.

—Greg Harris, President, FEBC

. . . like the book it commentates on, this volume is a good read. . .

—Roger Carswell, Evangelist

Sam Gordon delightfully ties the Scripture to life in this commentary on Philippians. Study it and discover what it means to live the joyful life God intended for all Christians.

—Jim Plueddemann, Professor of Missions and Intercultural Studies, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School

Here is Bible teaching at its best with helpful illustrations and fully applied to life. No one could read it without benefit.
