DESCRIPTION:
Using Paul's radical letter to the Philippians as his road map, Matt Chandler forsakes the trendy to invite readers into authentic Christian maturity. The short book of Philippians is one of the most quoted in the Bible, yet Paul wrote it not for the popular sound bites, but to paint a picture of a mature Christian faith. Therefore, our lives should be lived to Him, through Him, for Him, with Him, about Him—everything should be about Jesus.. Because if we clean up our lives but don't get Jesus, we've lost! So let the goal be Him. To live is Christ, to die is gain—this is the message of the letter. While many give their lives to Jesus, few then go on to live a life of truly vibrant faith. In this disruptively inspiring book, Chandler offers tangible ways to develop a faith of pursuing, chasing, knowing, and loving Jesus

This is an deep study of the book of Phillippians in the Bible. The author makes it very readable as you go verse by verse and chapter by chapter into the book. I really enjoyed it.. "Will stoke your spiritual fires" according to Marcus Halsey. Great book that really unpacks Paul's letter to the Phillipians in a way that helps anyone connect. He doesn't pull any punches, but really gets to the heart of God's message in the epistle.
Matt mines the riches of this great Bible book to teach us to never be content with stagnant Christianity.". "The church has been blessed by the book of Philippians ever since Paul wrote it, and this presentation of it is fresh and powerful
