Bringing God's Word to Life In the first century A.D. one of the most well-read, articulate, intelligent, and highly educated men of the time was imprisoned by the emperor Nero for his faith. While he was in daily danger of death, he took the time to write a number of letters to his good friends that have stood the test of time. Two of these letters are now part of what we call the Bible and are known as Colossians and Philemon. In your hands you now hold a superlative study that will aid one in understanding and applying many of the truths this man, known as the apostle Paul, hoped to impart before he died. These timeless truths have helped millions of people down through the ages and are now even more accessible to us. Dive into this study and learn about: ¿ The nature of true faith and hope. ¿ How one's life can be improved by applying the ancient truths of Scripture. ¿ The observable and objective nature of God. ¿ Philosophy and how a proper understanding of it can enhance one's life. Gordon Haresign, internationally known author, professor, speaker, and member of the board of directors of Scripture Union, speaking about the Dynamic Bible Studies series produced by Scheeren, has said, "These are among the finest, if not the finest, inductive Bible studies available today. I strongly endorse them." This sentiment was echoed by Dr. Dilo Paul, a materials scientist, who said, "I love these studies as they guide me through finding the answers to questions that arise during Bible study from the Bible itself." Steve White, Ph.D., author, church consultant and Executive Pastor of the Mountain Life Church in the Greater Salt Lake area, said, "Fred hits a great blend of commentary, historical context and practical application. The study questions are clear, thought-provoking and relevant. I could easily recommend this for either individual or group study."
