Written to the congregation which Paul probably held nearest to his heart, the letter to the Philippians is full of Christ and overflows with a contagious sense of great joy. And no wonder. For among the members of this congregation were such diverse Christian friends as Lydia, the businesswoman whose heart the Lord had gently opened and the local jailer, who, on the night of his conversion, had tenderly cleansed the lash-wounds that covered the apostle's back. https://www.amazon.com/Lets-Study-Philippians/dp/0851517145/ref=sr_1_1?crid=13UFV7AMRBHZQ&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.fRLBAtl9sG0VFSFi9ZMwJQ.VsyzdKljZV1-YGUtZqwAHWULnW3HGNfGVVXgCi-EMKI&dib_tag=se&keywords=9780851517148&qid=1705690696&s=books&sprefix=9%2Cstripbooks%2C135&sr=1-1
