How can we encourage and build up fellow believers? How can we correct their shortcomings? How can we fulfill the desire to see them become 100% Christians?

To answer these questions, F. F. Bruce gives us a fresh look at the relationship between Paul and the churches he planted. As he considers the letters to the Thessalonians, the Corinthians and the Philippians, Bruce focuses on Paul's pastoral care and the growth of the people he loved so much. Since we face so many of the problems and issues Paul and his converts faced, this book acts as a guide for growth.
