Description
The purpose of this book is to introduce, in a simple and practical way, a key letter in the New Testament to those who are starting the Christian life and beginning to read the Bible. It is intended to be read in conjunction with the Bible passages either by an individual, or as a group study, with one person preparing the Bible study using the book as a resource.
In Questions of Life I set out the material we use on Alpha, a course for non-churchgoers, those seeking to find out more about Christianity, and those who have recently come to faith in Jesus Christ. At the end of the Alpha course, people often ask, 'What do I do now?' One of the things I encourage them to do is to study the letter to the Philippians. The material in this book is based on a number of talks that I have given on that subject.
I am so grateful to the many people who have been willing to read the text and offer constructive criticisms. In particular I would like to thank Dr Roland Werner, Preb. John Pearce, Ken Costa, Jon Soper, Helena Hird, Jo Glen, Tamsen Carter, Lulu Wells, Zilla Hawkins, Jamie Haith and Patricia Hall. Finally, I want to thank Philippa Pearson Miles who typed the manuscript and numerous corrections with good humour and superb efficiency.
