One of my favourites so far in this New Testament series! A great description of a healthy Christian life, touching on Salvation, spiritual warfare, work ethic, relationships and most importantly the way we love.

I do not agree with some aspects of Swindoll's overarching theology, but those disagreements do not take away from the value of his work. This commentary is an excellent study /devotional resource for your private time.

Insightful

I loved the way the book in broken down into readable sections. And the scripture readings are given in two formats: NASB and NLT—allowing you to read each section before Dr. Swindoll offers his insights.

"Insights on Galatians, Ephesians" is a Bible commentary. The author explained the meaning of various key Greek words and provided information on the cultural and historical background. The author gave a paragraph or two of Scripture and then studied through that verse-by-verse. At the end of each section, he discussed how we can apply the writer's message to our own lives. He also included occasional "journal" pages were he talked about how those verses had been applied or worked out in his life.

Though you can look up information on just a single verse, this is more a Bible study book where it's assumed you'll read the whole book. Some sections focused on clarifying what the verses mean so the reader can better understand them. Others were more of a sermon where he tells the reader what to understand from it.

Overall, this book was easy to follow and understand. I use these commentaries for my daily devotional reading, and overall, I'd recommend them.

Interesting commentary from the quintessential teacher. Typical Swindon stuff!

Once again Swindoll come through with a commentary that takes you deeper into God's word, applies it to daily living, and inspires you to a closer walk with God.
