60 four-page chapters taken from Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians and Philemon

The Apostle Paul taught the people in the churches which he planted that God had saved them in order to come and live inside them through his Holy Spirit. In 49AD, Paul wrote his letter to the Galatians to teach them how the Holy Spirit makes people free on the inside. In 60AD, he wrote to the Ephesians to explain how the Holy Spirit made people new on the inside, and to the Colossians to teach them how the Spirit makes people strong on the inside too. In 61AD, he wrote to the Philippians to teach them how the Holy Spirit makes people joyful on the inside. Straight to the Heart of Galatians to Colossians is one of a series of devotional commentaries, which allow people to get to grips with each book of the Bible one bite at a time. Phil Moore does not cover the whole of each book, but rather focuses on key sections which together form a useful introduction. There will be 25 volumes in all, each containing 60 readings. The short chapters are punchy and relevant, yet crammed with fascinating scholarship.

Phil Moore leads a thriving multivenue church in London, UK. He also serves as a translocal Bible Teacher within the Newfrontiers family of churches. After graduating from Cambridge University in History in 1995, Phil spent time on the mission field and then time in the business world. After four years of working twice through the Bible in the original languages, he has now delivered an accessible series of devotional commentaries that convey timeless truths in a fresh and contemporary manner.

__The apostle Paul wasn't a superhero. He just had God on the inside. In these letters to the churches which he planted, he tells us the secrets of his fruitful ministry. He shows us that the Gospel means that we can have God on the inside too. He doesn't tell us to admire his fruitfulness. He tells us how we can become like him.__

God inspired the Bible for a reason. He wants you read it and let it change your life. If you are willing to take this challenge seriously, then you will love Phil Moore's devotional commentaries. Their bite-sized chapters are punchy and relevant, yet crammed with fascinating scholarship. Welcome to a new way of reading the Bible. Welcome to the Straight to the Heart series.
