THEY WERE THE DISCIPLES' FIRST FORMAL INSTRUCTIONS

In his first private session with the disciples, Jesus didn't give them His mission statement or a plan to change the world. Instead, He used eight succinct sentences, ninety-six simple words, to draw a picture of what He required in a disciple. He gave the instruction manual for discipleship with an attitude: the Beatitudes.

Walk This Way makes life-changing discipleship accessible to everyone. Each chapter takes a look at one of those first instructions and then helps you think it through, talk it over, and live it out. It creates an interactive mix of the Beatitudes with culturally relevant quotes and statistics, top ten lists, and stories to guide you to walk the way Jesus did.

Whether you're in need of refreshment or a place to start, Walk This Way provides the simple instruction manual you need.

"The Beatitudes are the key to ordinary Christians living extraordinary lives and Tim has captured a unique way to help us all Walk This Way."-Rich Hurst, MDiv., national consultant for Cook Communications International, author of Calling and Giving the Ministry Away.

"Looking at today's TV and newspapers, does anybody have to be reminded that we constantly need new, vital, contemporary instruction to how to 'walk the walk' and not just 'talk the talk'? I can't wait for Tim Woodroof's excellent book to be made available everywhere, and as soon as possible! I wish we could pass a law making it imperative for every American to read this book!"-Pat Boone

"Fully in touch with both the terrain of modern life and the map of Jesus' teaching, Walk This Way is an incredibly useful guide to Christian living. I will be recommending this book to new Christians and some 'old' ones as well."-David Davenport, president, Pepperdine University

"Tim Woodroof has taken one of the most well known sections of the Bible and shed a dynamic new light on it. Walk This Way is a concise, understandable presentation on the Beatitudes."-Trevor J. Bron, senior teaching pastor of The Next Level Church, Denver, Colorado.

The church in Philippi is in trouble A stranger has been through their midst, spinning a web of deception and division. Leader has turned against leader, friend against friend. Confusion and strife shakes the torn body like aftershocks from an earthquake.

Epaphroditus, the young potter, knows what he must do. The church needs answers, and if anyone has them, it’s Paul. After all, Paul introduced them to Jesus the Messiah. He established the church in Philippi, and taught them that salvation was available for all mankind, by grace through faith. But their father in the faith is in Rome––and in prison. Can Epaphroditus survive the dangerous journey and get a message to him? Can Paul help the group of new believers before it's too late?

Using scholarly research and biblical text, author Tim Woodroof creates a narrative that brings the pages of Scripture to life. The Messenger will help you experience Paul’s ministry at Philippi through an unfolding story that will captivate your mind and touch your heart..

Drawing from the writings of ancient historians, the best conclusions of modern scholarship, and the most readable contemporary translations, Tim Woodroof combines the power of story with the insights of a biblical commentary.

In A Distant Presence, Woodroof envisions what life was like for the believers in first-century Philippi. You'll feel transported to another time as he takes you on a journey through ancient Italy and Macedonia, providing front-row seats to the colorful interactions between the great Apostle Paul and his trusted coworkers: Luke, Silas, Clement, Epaphroditus, Lydia, Timothy, and the feuding Euodia and Syntche.

Paul's relationship with the Philippians was marked by a tension between his brief, irregular visits and his long, frequent absences. Over a twelve-year period, the Apostle was only physically present with them a matter of weeks. The Philippians loved Paul dearly. Still, his was a "distant presence."

However, Paul was never far from these Christians in his thoughts and affections. From the founding visit to Philippi to the writing of his pivotal "letter to the Philippians" while imprisoned in Rome, Paul continued—from a distance—to disciple these early believers through the problems and challenges of following Christ. His letter reached over the miles to encourage the Philippians in the first century. Now it reaches over the centuries to inspire us today.

Gain new insight and a fresh appreciation for the book of Philippians using this unique study tool. Even if you've never picked up a commentary before, you'll enjoy exploring Scripture in this brand new way. And if you have picked up a commentary, only to be overwhelmed by more information than you need, you'll appreciate a tool that culls the best of what the scholars say without bogging down in the details..
