Warren W. Wiersbe, former pastor of the Moody Church and general director of Back to the Bible, has traveled widely as a Bible teacher and conference speaker. Because of his encouragement to those in ministry, Dr. Wiersbe is often referred to as 'the pastor's pastor.' He has ministered in churches and conferences throughout the United States as well as in Canada, Central and South America, and Europe. Dr. Wiersbe has written over 150 books, including the popular BE series of commentaries on every book of the Bible, which has sold more than four million copies. At the 2002 Christian Booksellers Convention, he was awarded the Gold Medallion Lifetime Achievement Award by the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association. Dr. Wiersbe and his wife, Betty, live in Lincoln, Nebraska.
Wiersbe is succinct and practical. His writing is personal much like a pastor as he was. Don't expect exegesis, this could not be done in one volume. It's good for general overview, devotional and ideas.
This is good. And it is nice. After spending a year with Barclay's commentaries, Wiersbe's 2 volumes seem best suited to the young American Christian. Each section is a fine daily devotional, but very little stands out as MUST READ, wouldn't grow in faith without it. Either spend more time for yourself in the Word, or...No. Just spend more time in with Jesus—not people who know about Jesus.
Pastor Wiersbe's commentary proved fruitful in my understanding of the books of the New Testament. Will be re-reading the pages of this books for years to come.
