Albert Mohler, President, The Southern Baptist Theological SeminaryForty days in the letter Paul wrote from prison with joyPaul wrote his letter to the Philippians from a prison cell. Facing the real possibility of execution, he wrote not with despair but with joy--because his attitudes about life and death had been transformed by the gospel. Jesus's death and resurrection defeated death and gave us hope.

"I cannot think of a greater gift to the church than a biblically rooted devotional series that spans the entire New Testament." --R. Albert Mohler, President, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary"Who do you say that I am?" --Mark 8:29Jesus asked his disciples this question at the midpoint of Mark's Gospel--and no question is more important.
