read by John Lescault
4.4

No man in Scripture lived more consistently and completely for God than did Joseph, a favorite son of Jacob. In times of adversity and in times of prosperity - both of which offered the temptation to deny God and his lordship - Joseph remained steadfast.

Volume two traced the "new beginning" of God's plan of redemption. In volume three, Boice follows the complete story of Joseph, a "man for all seasons." By exploring Joseph's loyalty to God, Boice presents him as an example for Christians today. Subjects include:

The Epistles of John
by James Montgomery Boice
read by John Lescault
4.3
(4)
The three letters of John found near the end of the New Testament have a tendency to be oversimplified or simply overlooked in the study of the Scriptures. However, though these letters may on the surface seem less applicable to our time because they address heresies and church management issues that seem unique to the early church, careful study reveals just how contemporary these concerns are.
In this volume of James Montgomery Boice's popular commentary series, pastors, Bible students, and laypersons will find analysis of John's timeless messages of righteousness, truth, and love. Boice explains the meaning of the text verse by verse and subject by subject. Clear language and an approachable style make this commentary accessible and enlightening. Within these pages are important lessons on:
The essence of Christianity.
Assurance of salvation.
Identification of false teachings.
Proper treatment of God's servants.
Interaction between the church and the world.
Living a righteous life.

The most important thing about Nehemiah, says Boice, "is that he was a man of God, and because he was close to God in prayer and personal piety, he was able to draw from God the wisdom, patience, skill, and perseverance he needed to complete his great task."

Philippians

(7)
Philippians is so simple and at the same time so profound that it speaks profitably to Christians at every level of spiritual understanding, age, and maturity.
As James Montgomery Boice points out, no book in the Bible is so filled with joy as Philippians. Even though Paul faced possible execution for his faith, he managed to remain joyful in the midst of terrible circumstances.
Beyond providing encouragement, Philippians also contains a wealth of great themes. As Boice explains, it covers most of the major doctrines of the Christian faith and is at the same time extremely practical. Topics covered include:
The Secret of Spiritual Fruit (1:9—11)
What Is Christianity? (1:21)
The Truth about Jesus Christ (2:6)
What Are Your Goals? (2:14—16)
Knowing the Living Christ (3:10—11)
Getting Along with Other Christians (4:2—5)
The God Who Provides (4:19)
These expositions will appeal to serious Bible students and interested laypersons. Many study Paul's letter with the goal of coming to know Jesus better. "If you study it," writes Boice, "Philippians will point you to Christ-he is the dominant presence of Philippians, as he is throughout the Word of God."

Genesis, Volume 1

(12)
What can we gain from studying the book of Genesis? According to James Montgomery Boice, starting at the beginning of everything causes us to think about God and to understand ourselves as fallen yet redeemable. This knowledge not only deepens our understanding of the Christian faith but also enhances our ability to impart the gospel's truth to a world desperately in need of it.
This first volume on the book of Genesis, exploring chapters 1—11, shows how the story of redemption-essentially all of Scripture-has no significance apart from the story of creation and fall. These first eleven chapters of Genesis establish the relationship of God to the cosmos and to all peoples of the earth. Topics covered in Volume 1 include:
In the Beginning (1:1)
Is the Fall a Fact? (3:1—6)
Only Evil All the Time (6:5—8)
The God Who Remembers (8:1—19)
The Test of Human Government (9:1—7)
The Tower of Babel (11:1—9)
