Endorsements

“Pastors and Christian educators are always on the lookout for rich, well-researched, reliable, helpful, clear teaching material that will get our people into the Word together, helping us to understand its meaning, to see its implications for us in all of life, and to pray it back to God. These studies supply us with precisely that.”

—Ligon Duncan, Chancellor and CEO, Reformed Theological Seminary

 “What a wonderful gift to today’s church! It is rare to find a Bible study that is both approachable to those who are new to studying God’s Word and challenging to those more ‘seasoned’ in Scripture. Kathleen Nielson’s study of 1 and 2 Thessalonians encourages students on all levels to look deeply into the truths of the gospel while anticipating Christ’s return.”

—Cindy Cochrum, Former Director of Women’s Bible Study, College Church, Wheaton, Illinois

 “I continue to be grateful for the insightful Bible study books that Kathleen Nielson produces, not only personally but also because of their impact in the disciple-making ministries at Briarwood. Without any hesitation I can assure you that this study book on 1 and 2 Thessalonians contains not only focused insights for the texts but extraordinarily well-crafted questions that stimulate more study and meaningful discussion. Don’t miss the opportunity to use these as effective disciple-making tools in the life of your congregation.”

—Harry L. Reeder III, Senior Pastor, Briarwood Presbyterian Church, Birmingham, Alabama
