Be Distinct (2 Kings & 2 Chronicles)
by Warren W. WiersbeGod's people were never meant to blend in. Instead, we're called to stand out from the crowd, and become a beacon of hope.

Be Dynamic (Acts 1-12)
by Warren W. WiersbeIn his first of two books covering the book of Acts, Be Dynamic focuses on Peter's ministry, mostly in Israel and centered in Jerusalem. Through explaining Luke's record of the gospel's advancement and church expansion, Wiersbe opens the door to understanding the work of the church today.Using hard-hitting quotes from recognized names like St. Augustine and John Bunyan, Wiersbe proves himself a well-read author and gifted writer. The depth of his study is astounding, yet the accessibility of his text for every age group is evident as well. He proves what Luke intended--for Acts to be interpreted not as the apostles' glorious acts, but as the life-changing acts of the Holy Spirit. The same Spirit lives in believers today, the same God calls followers to expand His church, and the same basic problems still arise within the church, but the same power available then is still available now to change the nations.

This study examines Moses' remarkable thoughts on personal obedience, and explores how we can equip ourselves to experience God's best in our lives.Part of Dr. Warren W.

Be Faithful: 1 and 2 Timothy, Titus, Philemon
by Warren WiersbeTwo centuries ago, Timothy (a young preacher and new Christian), Titus (an elder in a troubled church), and Philemon (owner of a runaway slave and culturally directed to kill that slave) were facing challenges to faith which in different guises bother Christians today. Could (and should) Philemon forgive? How might Timothy remain faithful while being pulled in a thousand conflicting directions? How does one lead a church and not get burried by discouragement?
Be Faithful (1 & 2 Timothy, Titus, Philemon)
by Warren W. WiersbeIn a fast-paced, technology-based era when drive-thrus, cell phones, laptops, and Internet banking are the norm, it's sometimes hard to fathom that God doesn't appreciate our frail attempts at spiritual shortcuts. Through the pastoral epistles, 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus, with insight from Paul's letter to Philemon as well, Dr. Warren W. Wiersbe illustrates that working for God's Kingdom requires tenacity, never-ceasing prayer, and protective battle gear that only God can provide. In this commentary, you'll grasp the imminent danger of false teachers and, thus, the overwhelming need for godly ministers--people who preach,practice, and progress in the Word. By explaining how a healthy body of believers should operate, Wiersbe uses Paul's words to encourage today's church to stay the course and be faithful!

by Warren WiersbeSo you're a Christian. Great. But, of course, if you want to be a really good Christian, you must now ... How you finish that sentence is critical.

Be Free (Galatians)
by Warren W. WiersbeMore than just a guide to understanding Galatians, best-selling author Warren W. Wiersbe's Be Free is also a guide to embracing freedom in Christ. Wiersbe opens up Paul's epistle, explaining Paul's approach to the Galatians and putting ancient traditions in perspective for Christians today. 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. Just as the Galatian church was slipping back into the dangerous rituals of the Jewish religious system, Christians today add perameters around Scripture that hinder them and that Christ never intended.

Be Hopeful (1 Peter)
by Warren W. WiersbeIn Scripture, hope means the promise of salvation for those who have accepted God and His Son's death and resurrection.Christians who possess this hope and live as though then possess it will learn godly submission, holy living, and harmony with other believers. These qualities will prepare them for what Peter pains in his epistle as inevitable--suffering and persecution. Though Peter is writing to warn a people who would soon be under the tyranny of a heathen Roman emperor, some level of suffering will always be part of the believers' journey. A time is soon coming when living the "comfortable" Christian life will be far more costly than the life willing to give up all.
