Reviews

[Spacek Kim · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book compiled three letters to pastors, whom the Apostle Paul called sons in the true faith. All three letters remind leaders of Christian congregations how to conduct themselves. Paul also discussed how to shepherd the flock of believers.

2nd Reading -- This reading was as good as the first time. The Apostle Paul equips both Timothy and Titus for their work in training for the work of the church. Paul's concern is teaching sound doctrine and encouraging faithfulness.
