In Letters of Encouragement, Dr. Warner Doles has provided not merely an explanation of selected scriptures, but a guide to the believer's everyday life of faith. He has interspersed his writing with scriptural quotes, words from the original languages, and his own down to earth comments in his own earthy prose. He writes as a scholar who can discern and analyze God's message of the Bible, and as a gentle shepherd who explains his analysis to the lay Christian in an understandable way. I recommend letters as a book that the serious believer will want to read more than once.Jere GeurinMorehead City, NCIn my opinion it is a great light expositional commentary. The Greek explanations have been used in such a way that any one can understand the text and feel the power of the original language. I expected just a short encouraging book and got both the encouragement of the scripture and Dr. Doles commentary on the text. I recommend it to all pastors, teachers and laypersons.Rev.
