Description

More than just a guide to understanding Galatians, best-selling author Warren Wiersbe's Be Free is also a guide to embracing freedom in Christ.nbsp; As a man who is known as the "pastor of pastors" and has studied the Bible relentlessly, gleaning relevance for today for his readers and listeners, Wiersbe has so gripped the hearts of his wide audience that he has sold over 4 million copies of his "Be" series alone! His accessible, at times quirky and comical, style of writing is perfect for any age group to crave more of the Word of God.nbsp; He opens up Paul's epistle, explaining Paul's approach to the Galatians and putting ancient traditions in perspective for Christians today. nbsp;Most importantly, he illustrates through Paul's writing how the Gospel can only remain the Gospel of Christ if it is solely for God's glory alone.nbsp; Just as the Galatian church was slipping back into the dangerous rituals of the Jewish religious system, Christians today add parameters around Scripture that hinder them and that Christ never intended.… (more)

I've read a dozen of Wiersbe's commentaries on the Bible and while they were all excellent, this one stands out above the others.

Years ago I owned most of Wiersbe's "Be Series" in print. I got rid of the collection in one of my moves, and I often regret some of the radical downsizing. Wiersbe's books are perfect for personal or group Bible study. His writing still speaks to Christians today. I read a chapter each day,

although I read a couple of chapters on a couple of days, of the Galatians volume. Wiersbe frames everything from the historical context in which Paul wrote the letter. The Galatian Christians, influenced by the Judaizers, became too legalistic. Paul reminds them of the freedom in Christ they enjoy. I enjoyed revisiting this volume in my daily quiet time.

Apparently I was reading two of Wiersbe's Be books at the same time without really noticing it. In my defense, they were two drastically different editions, they were never in close proximity to one another, and I had never actually heard of Wiersbe before reading these books. So far I continue to

be impressed with the Be series in general; this volume got a higher rating than the other simply because the topic is perhaps slightly more controversial (and he handled it well) and because it came along at exactly the right time.

I (and many other people I am sure) would love to mature in our Christian faith, but it's not always clear what this looks like. This book is not the end all be all of Christian maturity obviously, but it certainly is very inspiring. I may have more clear thoughts later, right now I just need to step away and digest all I've been taking in. Definitely a book I am interested in rereading though.
