Publisher's Synopsis
This book on the church of Thessalonica confronts us as Bible-believing Christians with the strategic and visionary way early followers of Christ understood the good news of the Gospel, internalized it and lived accordingly--with great impact. Rev. Dr. Ed Gross succeeds in confronting Christian readers with the amazing love of God in and through the life and witness of the Thessalonians. Through reading, reflection and discussion the reader will feel the pressure early Christians and those still persecuted faced, as well as the glorious hope they embraced in the midst of harsh conditions - and through it may experience growth in understanding discipleship and being true witnesses of the risen Christ.
