Philippians Verse by Verse (Osborne New Testament Commentaries)
Even though he was writing from prison, the Apostle Paul's gratitude and joy leaps off the page in his letter to the Philippians.

In spite of sometimes dire circumstances, readers too may experience joy, encouragement, and fellowship if they remain focused on what God has done for them in Christ.

Osborne seeks to carefully exposit the text in plain language, bringing out the treasures in each book and making them accessible for today's readers.
