I love this book! It's one of my very favorites in the Bible. Paul had such wisdom and grace to share with so many churches during his time, but they stand the test of time and encourage me (and many others) as well, even now. I love especially the verses about being content no matter what he's facing. Whether rich, poor, hungry, ill, Paul found his contentment in the Lord Jesus Christ, and I strive to do so as well. May the peace of God be with everyone who reads this book searching for Christ's love and compassion.
