I simply adore devotionals, Bible studies, etc. My favorite kinds are when everything I need is included within the book. This means while I can go outside and do extra reading, all the Bible verses, the questions, the room for writing…everything is in the book. And in the case of this Galatians study, that is exactly right. All you need is this book, and you are off to the races!

What I appreciate about this book the most is its emphasis on personal application. My weakness is just that, and whenever I can find multiple ways to help me understand how to apply the Scripture, I am thrilled! This book has everything from allegories to comprehension questions, to personal reflection, to prayers, to probing questions. This is the ideal book to use for your personal study of the book of Galatians, or if you would rather study with others, this book is adaptable to that as well.

Having studied the book of Galatians recently, this book is one I highly recommend. Initially, the study won’t take you long. But the spiritual ramifications are eternally transformative!

Letter from Paul: to the Church in Galatia…and Us!

As a preacher’s kid, I was brought up in a strict, structured home environment. This upbringing created a harsh view of Christianity and an overwhelming fear of hell, fire, and damnation for me.

It was not until years later that I found a church emphasizing God’s love. I read the Word and prayed daily and began to develop a close, personal relationship with God. But fear kept haunting me until I really got into Galatians and broke it down, verse by verse. The book of Galatians is a crucial book of the Bible for me because it emphasizes God’s love and forgiveness and provides assurance that, even though I mess up at times, God still loves me!

It is my hope and prayer that you, too, can embrace the beautiful message of love and acceptance contained in Galatians and apply it to your life. When we fully submit and trust God for our lives, an overwhelming peace envelops us. We no longer need to fear Him. He is a loving God who provides all our needs and protects, encourages, comforts, and directs us. He is our heavenly Father, our constant companion, and a friend who really does have all the right answers.

Living in a right relationship with God dramatically changes the way we view ourselves and the world. “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation, old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” (2 Cor. 5:17 KJV).

Written in a down-to-earth, easy-to-read approach, the Bible studies contained in Letter from Paul highlight the main points covered in each chapter of Galatians.

It is my hope and prayer that this book will erase the doubts and fears of Christians who question their salvation or fear that they are not good enough to maintain it and to point the way for the unsaved to realize how easy it is to become a child of God.
