1 Thessalonians: Living to please God
Description
When this group of ordinary first-century pagans believed in Jesus Christ, they changed so dramatically that many others across the Roman world were imitating their faith, hope and love. The apostle Paul, thrilled to see their vibrant Christian lives, recorded his delight in this lovely warm letter, packed with advice and encouragement to keep going. This was a transformation that would change lives, cultures and destinies far beyond first century Macedonia.
Learn through this Good Book Guide how an unremarkable, pointless existence, can be transformed into lives marked by an unshakeable faith, overflowing love and sensational hope. It is this kind of life that ordinary Christians like you are called to. So that, in the our world of suffering, hostility and trials we will be blameless and holy when our Lord Jesus comes.

Customer Reviews
Great for use as a group.
I bought this as part of a bible study group.
I found it very useful to have a book to work from at home.
Very good at getting in-depth questions from people within the group too. ![]()
Suprisingly inspirational and stimulated conversation
Having agreed to lead this course to a housegroup of approx 10 people I worried that the workbook seemed rather basic - however, once conversation and interpretation kicked in it was amazing how relevant the teachings were to issues of today and we came across some really difficult issues. i did feel that some of the questions were repetative but was able to work through the programme leaving some of them out.
The prayers suggestions were good at the end, but again, they were adapted to suit our group. ![]()
