Philippians: A Devotional Commentary: See Your Life with New Eyes

by Chris Tiegreen

With accessible expository commentary paired with inspirational devotional thought, The See Series speaks to both the heart and mind—unlocking a deeper understanding of the Bible often reserved for scholars and theologians.

Like all Scripture, Paul’s letter to the Philippians reorients our vision. It is clear throughout this letter he was at peace and the believers at Philippi weren’t. And the difference is perspective. He clearly wanted to change how they viewed their (and his) circumstances. By reframing the picture, he gave them reasons to celebrate, endure, heal their divisions, and move forward in faith. And he gave us a field manual for seeing our lives with new eyes and overcoming adversity.

Written by beloved devotional writer and biblical scholar Chris Tiegreen, each book of The See Series does more than encourage us simply to know and then do; rather, casts a vision for us to see, then be, then live. Like Jesus, who incorporated visual language into all his teaching, this series aims at refocusing our imaginations. If we can see what biblical writers saw and live according to that vision, we can be transformed.
