Insights worth Imitating

D. A. Carson offers a very clear exposition of Philippians in "Basics for Believers." Philippians has often been a great book of encouragement and insight for me as I wander through this life. I have spent much time considering what it means to imitate Christ's humility. I have also contemplated how I might imitate the lives of Timothy, Epaphroditus, and Paul. On the flip side, I have spent time wondering if my life is one worthy of imitating. Should others look upon me and see my striving, is it worthy of the grace of God? In approaching Philippians, D. A. Carson has given me guidance in continuing these contemplations. Of particular value are the insights regarding the characters of Timothy and Epaphroditus. This will be a book I turn to often for my own spiritual edification and for insights on how to teach others the basics of living out the Christian life. I received this book from Baker Books as part of their blogging program.
