Customer Reviews

The Apostle Paul

I always thought highly of Paul but after reading this book, I can hardly wait to meet him in heaven. Beth Moore has personalized him for me. If you haven't read the book and decide to, be sure and read the scripture passage at the beginning of each chapter. I didn't until half way through the book, so I am reading it a second time to get the most out of each chapter. Great book!

To Live is Christ

This is a wonderful book - thoroughly enjoying reading it, and am going to have a small group study at church. Dorothy Peters

Wonderful book

Beth Moore has done it again! She is truly gifted by the Holy Spirit! She takes you through the life of Paul, and you will see Paul in a different light. She brings out the humility and passion of Paul that I have never picked up on before. You will learn to share Paul's passion for Christ with this book.

Jeffreyh

This is perhaps as good as any of everything Beth Moore has written, although given the very un-attractive cover design, this book did poorly in 'popular' sales. But by word from experience, this is extremely well written in keeping consistent with her context, and yet contains some very honest interpretations which is at times a hard pill to swallow, but insightfully proposed with clear challenges, as well as an in-depth view of truly what is associated and required "to Live is Christ" embodied through one willing to submit to Jesus Christ without compromise. This is a must for any person seriously wishing to follow Jesus un-swaveringly.

Study on the life and influence of Paul

If you are looking for a definitive study of the life of Paul, this would be a good place to start. Beth Moore begins by reconstructing what Paul's early life must have been like, based on studies of Jewish life in those times. She then proceeds to the Biblical accounts in Acts which describe his conversion, and subsequent ministry. She then proceeds to the letters Paul wrote to his disciples, such as Timothy. Moore teaches us what a truly inspiring figure Paul is and applies his example of faithfulness into what God would have us aspire to today.

Awesome writer

I first became aware of the vibrancy of Beth Moore's teachings at my church's women's group. What an awesome teacher of God's word she is,and this book did not disappoint me. Beth takes a look at the life of Paul, from his birth, conversion from a zealous Jew to a humbled Christian, and the missionary journeys he undertook in Christ's name and brings them to life on these pages. She has a way of pondering aspects of the biblical narratives that really open one's eyes, and gives you a depth and breadth and taste of what life might have been like for the apostle Paul that one normally wouldn't realize, and then encourages and challenges us to live our lives for Christ in similar ways. I did not read this book in one sitting, but read a little every day, and came away delighted to have "tasted" each morsel she offered. I love Beth Moore's devotion to the Lord, and she has inspired me.
