The Thessalonican letters tell us the Church had struggled from persecution by both the Jews and Roman authorities. Because of their faith and inspired missionary zeal, the Church had spiritually prospered. Their witness to Christ was a "Model to all the believers in Macedonia and Achaia" (Greece) (I Thess. 1:6-10). As with all Churches in every age, there were "false teachers" who sought to benefit by spreading untruth. Gnosticism may have been part of the problem, and Paul addressed this, along with their concerns that Jesus had come and the resurrection had already taken place. He assured them this was not the case and gave them the sequence of Christ's return and the resurrection in I Thessalonians 4:13-18. He also wrote in regard to those who refused to work, and were essentially living off the Church. In many ways these letters reflect some of the same issues the Church is facing today. This brief little book is meant to be informative on both the theology and history of the Church in Thessaly, as well as a devotional commentary. Blessings on all who peruse these pages.

Warner Doles writes the way he preaches - with passion, compassion and with clear practical Biblical insight. You hold in your hands a powerful tool to study, teach, preach and apply in both Galatians and Colossians. I am personally grateful for the challenging word from a seasoned pastor and a devoted follower of Jesus Christ.Rev. Ronnie BowersSenior PastorFlint-Groves Baptist ChurchGastonia, NCI enjoyed reading the manuscript. It gives good background and explanation of the heresies in both Galatians and Colossians. One can feel Paul's intense concern for the Christians as they faced the dangers that false teachers were promoting in their heretical belief systems. People today need to be warned and encouraged to avoid anything that would keep them from close fellowship with Christ. There is ample opportunity to do further in depth study from the notations. The prayers of the Christian Greats from the past were also a blessing.Glenn V. Tingley, Jr.A Boyhood Pal of The Author

In Letters of Encouragement, Dr. Warner Doles has provided not merely an explanation of selected scriptures, but a guide to the believer's everyday life of faith. He has interspersed his writing with scriptural quotes, words from the original languages, and his own down to earth comments in his own earthy prose. He writes as a scholar who can discern and analyze God's message of the Bible, and as a gentle shepherd who explains his analysis to the lay Christian in an understandable way. I recommend letters as a book that the serious believer will want to read more than once. Jere Geurin Morehead City, NC In my opinion it is a great light expositional commentary. The Greek explanations have been used in such a way that any one can understand the text and feel the power of the original language. I expected just a short encouraging book and got both the encouragement of the scripture and Dr. Doles commentary on the text. I recommend it to all pastors, teachers and laypersons. Rev.
