    About this ebook

    The church in Thessalonica was a study in contrast. They had been a quiet and holy people. But after a while, they had become restless and impatient. They needed direction on how to live.

    So Paul wrote the young church two letters. The first commended the believers for their faith and encouraged them to continue living according to the gospel principles he had taught. The second letter was filled with helpful hints that corrected their wrong beliefs, assumptions, and behaviors. Whether we are living a quiet and holy life or one that leaves us restless and impatient, Paul's letters encourage us. They challenge us to remain faithful in a temporary world.

    As you read, study, journal, and discuss the books of 1 and 2 Thessalonians, watch for these key themes that Max will unpack throughout the book:

    • We should live in preparation for Christ's return.
    • God wants holy and pure worship.
    • The time of Christ's return will be unpredictable.
    • How we live our everyday lives, matters.

    The Life Lessons with Max Lucado series brings the Bible to life in twelve lessons filled with intriguing questions, inspirational stories, and poignant reflections to take you deeper into God's Word. Each lesson includes:

    • An opening reflection on the Bible book you're studying.
    • Background information to deepen your understanding of the cultural and historical setting.
    • An excerpt of the text (from the NIV and the NKJV).
    • Exploration questions with plenty of room to write your own thoughts and notes.
    • Inspirational thoughts from Max as well as a closing takeaway for further reflection.

    The Life Lessons series is ideal for use in both a small-group setting or for individual study.
