How to Be the Person God Wants You to Be Because how you live means more than what you say Because hypocrisy and hide and seek games with worldliness hurt you and those around you Because many feelings that people fall into sentimentality, emotionalism, and lust aren t love Because real faith must be based on time tested truthHere’s a book, based on the First Epistle of John, that shows you how to be the person you know God wants you to be. BE REALDr. Warren W. Wiersbe is best known as an author, pastor, and radio Bible teacher. He was for many years pastor of Chicago s Moody Memorial Church and most recently served as General Director and Bible teacher for Back to the Bible. He has authored over 100 books, including the New Testament BE series from Victor Books.
Be Joyful : Even When Things Go Wrong, You Can Have Joy
Discover the Secret! Jesus said: ‘These things I have spoken unto you, that My joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full’ John 15:11. But perhaps you aren’t exactly overflowing with joy. If you could stand a little more joy or even a lot more! Then Dr. Warren Wiersbe has a message for you. In this book he: Unlocks the treasures of the Apostle Paul’s ‘joy epistle’ to the Philippians Pinpoints the joy stealers Shows why you don’t need to worry Outlines the secret of contentment Author Wiersbe says: ‘If you master…
Philippians, then you should enjoy a happy Christian life!’ This book, then, could be a turning point for you. Discover the secret of joy, walk out into the sunshine and BE JOYFUL!
Be Right : How to Be Right with God, Yourself, and Others
Every Christian desires to ‘be right’ about their faith. How we live out our faith holds eternal significance. But in order to be right, we must know what, why, and how come we believe in Christ. It can be argued that no book of the Bible has had a greater effect on Christianity than the book of Romans. Martin Luther described it as ‘the most important piece in the New Testament,’ and wrote; ‘It is well worth a Christian’s while not only to memorize it word for word but also to occupy himself with it daily, as though it were the daily bread of the soul.’ In this classic commentary by Dr. Warren Wiersbe, you can refresh your own understand of this seminal work, Paul’s masterpiece letter to the church in Rome. Dr. Wiersbe’s careful exposition of the text allows the truth to soak in to your heart and mind as you read and understand these essential truths of Scripture.
Be Mature : Growing Up in Christ
Born Again Is Only the Beginning! Yes, having Christ as your personal Savior is only the beginning. After that, you have to grow up! Many problems in our lives are caused by spiritual immaturity. God wants us to grow up, not just grow old. And He has given us the formula for maturity in the Epistle of James. In discussing Christian maturity, Dr. Wiersbe shows you: How to learn to be patient How to overcome temptation How to practice what the Bible teaches How to learn to control the tongue How to make peace rather than trouble How to pray and get results It’s all in BE MATURE
Be Ready : Living in Light of Christ’s Return
Experience eternity. Today. During His life and ministry, Christ assured the apostles that He would one day return for His people. But how should this future event affect our lives today? In Paul’s letter to the Thessalonians, he reveals that the promise of Christ s return is more than a doctrine of our faith. It is a remarkable truth that can shape how we live, how we connect, and how we view ministry. Part of Dr. Warren W. Wiersbe s best selling BE commentary series, BE Ready has now been updated with study questions and a new introduction by Ken Baugh. A respected pastor and Bible teacher, Dr. Wiersbe balances the prophetic with the practical, and shares how Christ s powerful promise can impact every aspect of life. So be encouraged. Be revived. And BE Ready.
Be Loyal: Follow the King of Kings, NT Commentary: Matthew
Matthew’s gospel focuses on the Kingship of Christ that Jesus is Lord of Lords, the Messiah, the One promised by the prophets of old. But a king is not born in a manger, to a virgin peasant, and a king is definitely not executed on a Roman cross, is he? Actually, that’s exactly the type of King God sent to the world.
While the Jews were looking for a political king to save them from Roman oppression, God sent them and the rest of the world a different type of Savior one that would reconcile God’s people to himself, once for all.
Pastor, author, and Bible teacher Warren Wiersbe highlights significant cultural and historical aspects that arise in Matthew’s gospel to paint for readers a clearer picture of this glorious, unexpected, but all satisfying King of Kings.
Be Complete : Become the Whole Person God Intends You to Be
We live in an age when everyone is trying to live richer, fuller lives. We’re told to buy this, try that, eat those, and say no to the rest, as if that’s all we need to do to make our lives complete. Two thousand years ago, the church at Colossae faced similar challenges. The Apostle Paul wrote a letter outlining the only way we can live complete lives: Christ. What can we learn today from this ancient church? Called by many scholars the ‘most profound letter Paul ever wrote,’ Colossians warrants a careful, faithful study. In this short, but exciting letter, Paul makes the case for the supremacy of Christ in all things. Best selling author and teacher Warren Wiersbe calls your attention to Paul’s essential thoughts on living a complete life Christ alone in this easy to use commentary on Colossians.

Be Alive, Come to Better Know the Living Savior
During the months that I have been studying the Gospel of John and writing this book, I have felt like a man standing on holy ground. The more I studied and wrote, the more inadequate I felt. No wonder the great Greek scholar Dr. A.T. Robertson called the Gospel of John ‘the profoundest book in the world.’
There is not space in these studies to plumb the depths, but I have tried to present the basic teachings of this marvelous book. The Gospel of John is simple enough for a child to wade in, but deep enough for the scholar and the most seasoned saint to swim in.
This book is the first of two volumes devoted to the Gospel of John. The second one, focusing on chapters 13-21, will follow.
Please come to this book with the heart and mind of a worshiper. John did not simply write a book; he painted exciting pictures. These pages are filled with images such as the Lamb, the Door, the Shepherd, the new birth, the light and darkness, the Water of Life, bread, blindness, seeds, and dozens more. Use your ‘sanctified imagination’ as you study and the Gospel of John will become a new book to you. And, remember, you are not studying a book–you are seeing a Person. ‘And we beheld His glory…
full of grace and truth’ John 1:14.
Dr. Warren W. Wiersbe is Writer-in-Residence at Cornerstone College in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and Distinguished Professor of Preaching at Grand Rapids Baptist Seminary. He has pastored three churches, including the Moody Church in Chicago, and served as General Director and Bible teacher for Back to the Bible Broadcast.
Be Alive, Get to Know the Living Savior
When Jesus spoke, people listened. When Jesus traveled, people followed. When Jesus arrived, hearts and lives were transformed. No other Gospel gives such extensive explanation to Jesus’ ministry as the Gospel of John. The first three Gospels describe events, but the fourth Gospel describes the significance behind those events. Through miracles, parables, and relationships, Jesus shows how He is the fulfillment of God’s promises of old. He is the Word, the Light, the Lamb the eternal Son of God. Let the humanity of Christ move you as He feels your joys and pains, and let the deity of Christ awaken you to the life He has planned!
Be Diligent : Serving Others as You Walk with the Master Servant
How you can serve God and others more earnestly. Mark is the perfect Gospel for space age people on the go. In this study, Dr. Wiersbe focuses on Jesus Christ the Servant, always on the move, always doing the Father’s will and serving others. Mark is the ideal Gospel for busy people who want to discover how to make their lives count for God. Studying Mark’s intensely dramatic account of the life and ministry of Jesus Christ will help you appreciate Him as God’s Ideal Servant. You will be motivated and encouraged in your own ministry for the Lord…
and helped increasingly to BE DILIGENT!
Be Dynamic : Experience the Power of God’s People

Be Holy : Becoming “Set Apart” for God

Prepared to be awed by our God. The books of Hosea, Joel, Jonah, Nahum, Habakkuk, and Malachi are viewed by Biblical scholars as the Minor Prophets.

Be Concerned: Making a Difference in Your Lifetime: OT Commentary: Minor Prophets
‘It is necessary only for the good man or woman to do nothing for evil to triumph.’ Edmund Burke It is certainly true today that the ‘Do Nothings’ outnumber ‘The Company of the Concerned,’ which in part explains why society is so confused and frightened. It’s time for God’s people to be concerned! Meet some concerned believers who made a difference in their time and who show you how to make a difference in your time: Amos The ‘farmer preacher’ who understood the times better than the scholars and who dared to stand for God’s truth against the highest officials in the nation. Obadiah The prophet who explained why longstanding family feuds ultimately bring defeat and disgrace. Micah The prophet who shows why the only hope for any nation is surrender to the Lord and obedience to His Word. Zephaniah The prophet who saw the coming ‘Day of the Lord’ and told the people how to get ready. Join God’s ‘faithful remnant’ and dare to be different! Dr. Warren W. Wiersbe is Writer in Residence at Cornerstone College in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and Distinguished Professor of Preaching at Grand Rapids Baptist Seminary. He has pastored three churches, including Moody Church in Chicago, and served as General Director and Bible teacher for Back to the Bible Broadcast. This is the second of three volumes expounding the Minor Prophets, twelve Old Testament books whose messages are relevant to the church today. Be Amazed Hosea, Joel, Jonah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Malachi and Be Heroic Haggai, Zechariah, Ezra are the others.
Be Heroic : Demonstrating Bravery by Your Walk
We all admire the hero. That person who’s celebrated for accomplishing big things in the face of even bigger odds. Yet heroes aren t defined by their circumstances, but by their choices. They re people who continually choose to serve others, even when no one is watching, and without expecting credit. Based on the books of Ezra, Haggai, and Zechariah, this study examines three unsung heroes of the Bible who can inspire us today. Part of Dr. Warren W. Wiersbe s best selling BE commentary series, BE Heroic has now been updated with study questions and a new introduction by Ken Baugh.

Be Resolute : Determining to Go God’s Direction
We’ve all heard the phrase: When the going gets tough, the tough get going. What about faith? Will your faith thrive in tough times? Do you desire a more resolute faith?
The book of Daniel relates the familiar Sunday School stories of the lions’ den, the fiery furnace, and some remarkable prophecies, but take some time to investigate these stories more closely. How did Daniel, Shadrach, Meschach, and Abednego possess such a fearless faith? Perhaps no one in the Bible possessed a more resolute faith in God than these individuals. Daniel and his peers never took the easy way out, but stood their ground, even in face of death.
There’s a lot to be learned from Daniel about unshakable faith. Study this extraordinary Old Testament book. Even more importantly, apply what you learn as respected Bible teacher Warren Wiersbe unfolds both the explicit and implicit teachings to lead you to a more resolute faith.
Be Reverent : Bowing Before Our Awesome God
As good as dead…
That’s how Albert Einstein described people who can no longer wonder and no longer feel amazement. A sense of wonder and reverence is basic to life and to faith. God revealed incredible things to the Prophet Ezekiel. He saw God’s throne on wheels, moving quickly from place to place! He saw an army of skeletons reassemble and come to life! He saw the glory of God leave the old temple and then return to the new temple! What the church needs today is a return to reverence reverence for God’s name and for God’s glory. The neglected Book of Ezekiel will teach you: How great and wonderful is the glory of God Why reverence for God’s name changes our lives How and why God judges sin from generation to generation Why God sees the land of Israel as’the center of the earth’ The wonderful plan God has for the nation of Israel The Book of Ezekiel is a fascinating book that provides insights on history, theology, and practical Christian living as you behold the wonders of the Lord.

Be Successful : Attaining Wealth That Money Can’t Buy
Find true success through a life of integrity and character. We all long to succeed in every area of life, in our careers, our relationships, and our finances. But in the daily pursuit of our dreams, we can forget to examine just how we measure success. The book of 1 Samuel offers striking contrasts between succeeding God’s way and trying to achieve goals by any means necessary. This guide examines the life of King David, and shares how we can find true success through our character, conduct, and lifestyle. Part of Dr. Warren W. Wiersbe s best selling BE commentary series, BE Satisfied has now been updated with study questions and a new introduction by Ken Baugh. A respected pastor and Bible teacher, Dr. Wiersbe journeys through the book of 1 Samuel to uncover how God defines success.

Be Restored : Trusting God to See Us Through
Our God longs to restore that which is broken. Fractured relationships. Hurting families. Divided churches. No situation is beyond His grace. And most miraculous of all? He chooses to use broken people to heal broken situations. The book of 2 Samuel is a remarkable testimony to this truth. Here we find King David, a godly man reeling from tragic choices, struggling to unify a nation torn apart by civil war. This study looks at God’s passion for restoring lives, relationships and His church, by working through those who are simply available to Him. Part of Dr. Warren W. Wiersbe s best selling BE commentary series, BE Restored has now been updated with study questions and a new introduction by Ken Baugh. A respected pastor and Bible teacher, Dr. Wiersbe shares that no broken person is beyond God s power. You ll discover that no matter your story, no matter your situation God can use you to bring about restoration in this world.
Be Responsible : Being Good Stewards of God’s Gifts
A bad workman always blames his tools. The ancient proverb rings just as true today, and it is with this challenge for personal responsibility that Dr. Warren Wiersbe begins this latest installment of his comprehensive study through the Bible. Responsibility is not a popular concept for modern sensibilities that prefer to emphasize victimization and blame seeking. Unfortunately, finding even leaders who will take it can be difficult, to say the least. King David knew what it meant to be a responsible leader, and so did his son Solomon…
until the closing years of his reign. But out of the twenty subsequent kings who reigned in Judah, only eight could be called good kings and responsible men who sought to obey God. Tragically, not only was there a lack of political moral leadership, but the spiritual leadership priests and prophets notoriously failed both God and the people. As you follow along with Dr. Wiersbe in this study of 1 Kings, you will see over and over again the importance of moral character in leaders, as well as the tragedy of leaving God out of national affairs. Clearly the call to Be Responsible is as much a need today as it was in the age of Judah’s kings. Dr. Warren W. Wiersbe is an author and Writer in Residence at Corner stone College in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He has pastored three churches, including Moody Church in Chicago; and he served as General Director and Bible teacher for Back to the Bible Broadcast. Personal and Group Study Guide Included
Be Distinct : Standing Firmly Against the World’s Tides
God’s people were never meant to blend in. Instead, we re called to stand out from the crowd, and become a beacon of hope. But nothing dims our light more than conformity, when voices that once proclaimed truth begin to quietly yield to a noisy world. Based on the books of 2 Kings and 2 Chronicles, this study offers an eye opening look at the high price of conformity, and shares how we can stay distinct from our surroundings. Part of Dr. Warren W. Wiersbe s best selling BE commentary series, BE Distinct has now been updated with study questions and a new introduction by Ken Baugh. A respected pastor and Bible teacher, Dr. Wiersbe examines how we can be salt and light to a world in desperate need of truth. You ll be encouraged to embrace your unique identity in Christ, and be challenged to rise above the world around you.
Be Worshipful: Glorifying God for Who He Is (The BE Series Commentary Psalms 1-89
Beloved teacher Dr. Warren W. Wiersbe leads the journey through the valleys and mountains of Old Testament kings and queens, illuminating the painful confessions, the anger toward God, and the holy desires they modeled for generations to come. It’s the unaltered, vulnerable grit of human experience that gives Psalms its credibility and makes it so valuable for building a real relationship with God. Writing as they would to a dear friend, the psalmists King David and others compose a songwriter’s masterpiece through their unfathomable awe of the Creator of the universe. Out of the bottomless well of human emotion and purity of expression come both cries of pain and shouts of joy genuine expressions which not only elevate our respect for the psalmists themselves, but also draw us into a deeper relationship with our Lord.

Daniel: Determining to Go God’s Direction
His name meant ‘God is my judge,’ and his life bore witness to that fact. Daniel was a man who knew the Most High. An intimate friend of God, he realized simultaneously that friendship cost time kneeling in humility. He understood God’s sovereignty, even in pagan Babylon where the Jews were exiled, and he refused to compromise his faith. Daniel’s resolution meant sacrifice. It meant discipline in prayer, diplomacy with government leaders, and dedication to living ‘set apart.’ It meant depending on an unchanging God to give him an unwavering vision. Amid a pagan nation, an arrogant king, ravenous lions, and a blazing furnace, Daniel and his friends sought God and found Him in a way that will inspire and strengthen your journey. The same God who shut the lions’ mouths and rescued His men unscathed from the flames will consecrate you to dream His dreams and do His work if only you allow Him. Do you have what it takes?

Heirs of the King: Living the Beatitudes
”Most people think of the Beatitudes as a collection of idealistic sayings beautiful to read but impossible to practice. How wrong they are! In fact, the entire Sermon on the Mount is a glorious explanation of what life is really like when you reign through the power of the Holy Spirit,” says Warren Wiersbe.

Lonely People: Biblical Lessons on Understanding and Overcoming Loneliness
Loneliness is our collective malady, a widespread condition that saps the soul and isolates the heart. In Lonely People, Warren W. Wiersbe digs deep into Scripture for intriguing discoveries on the sources and the solution to loneliness. Loneliness, he points out, is a far cry from solitude and lasts much longer than lonesomeness, which ends when people are reunited after being apart. Wiersbe’s profound definition, a ‘malnutrition of the soul that comes from living on substitutes,’ is the touchstone from which the great Bible expositor begins and ends his message. With the piercing insight Wiersbe is known for, he tells how lonely people are feeding their inner selves with false things, spending money on objects that won’t help, and working toward goals that will not satisfy. Set against the backdrop of lonely biblical characters like Cain, Job, and Elijah, this revelatory book shows how God offers each of his children the worthwhile things that satisfy and nourish the inner person. Anyone who feels isolated from God or other people will find what it means to truly commune at the deepest level with the One who made them for a rich, fellowship filled life.

Comforting The Bereaved (With: David Wiersbe)
Ministering to the mourning is one of the most taxing and delicate duties of a pastor. What minister can forget feeling helpless when conducting his first funeral service or when calling on grieving family members from his first church? Comforting the Bereaved will help both ministers and concerned lay people give God’s comfort to those who hurt. It deals with death and grief from a biblical and psychological perspective and also offers practical advice to ministers on how to handle the grief situation and the funeral service. Though it is impossible to deal with every delicate situation death can initiate, Comforting the Bereaved seeks to offer help for those situations that occur most. There are also suggested answers to questions people most often ask, and help in preparing funeral messages appropriate to individual circumstances. Warren and David Wiersbe, father and son, combine nearly forty years of ministry to help both pastor and lay person handle grief situations more effectively and thus comfort the bereaved.

Real Worship: Playground, Battleground, or Holy Ground?
With 50,000 copies sold, the first edition of Real Worship helped many pastors and worship leaders make biblical sense in the controversy surrounding worship and worship styles. This second edition contains new chapters on taking worship seriously, planning balanced worship, and tradition in worship. A question and answer section, a bibliography, and a Scripture index have also been added. While many books deal with how to worship, they fail to give a definition of true worship. Warren Wiersbe defines what worship is and the four elements it involves: wonder, witness, warfare, and wisdom. As he discusses such controversial issues as art, liturgy, worship styles, and music, Wiersbe keeps the focus on God and demonstrates the balance of worship for which every church should strive. Real Worship is both biblically based and autobiographical, containing personal testimony, anecdotes, and illustrations from Wiersbes pastoral experience. The first edition of this book was published by Thomas Nelson in 1986. Endorseme*nts for the first edition:
Be Transformed : Christ’s Triumph Means Your Transformation
How to pray, how to serve, how to overcome, how to love: Jesus taught the disciples these timeless lessons through hands on experience and powerful parables that resonated in the hearts of multitudes. Most evident in John 13 21, however, is Christ’s teaching on the transforming power of joy how to have it, hold onto it, and never let it go. The more time the disciples spent with Jesus, the deeper their friendships became. The deeper their friendships became, the more they resembled Jesus’ character. It was a preparation period for the new reign of the Holy Spirit, who would come to comfort and dwell within them. It was preparation for their callings the Great Commission. The calling of God’s people hasn’t changed since then, but you will change as you apply the lessons of this commentary on the greatest teacher who ever lived Jesus Christ and hold onto the joy that never forsakes.

Caring People: Learning to Live with and Help One Another
In a society soaked in individuality, it’s hard for even people of faith to know how to care for others. Leave it to Warren Wiersbe, one of the most respected and articulate Bible teachers of our time, to give Christians a firm yet loving reminder of our biblical mandate to care. In this second book of the Living Lessons from God’s Word series, Wiersbe outlines what the Bible says about meeting each other’s needs in the power of Christ’s love. ‘We are not alone in our Christian walk, and we must have others in our minds and hearts as we pray, study the Word, and serve our Lord,’ he writes.

Colossians
In a world with a religion to meet every diverse mood, today’s Christians are no different from those of ancient Colossae. Fighting Jewish legalism mixed with Eastern philosophies and Gnosticism, Paul called on the Colossian church to stop partaking in the misguided religious practices of their day and to find the one true faith. In his profound, scholarly letter, Paul warned the people of their heretical practices. His prevailing theme is the preeminence of Christ. Paul knew that if the Colossians grasped even a glimpse of the fullness of God, they would seize hold of their true identity and stop looking elsewhere for spiritual fulfillment. In this Bible study based on his original commentary on Colossians, seasoned pastor Dr. Warren W. Wiersbe challenges twenty first century believers in another age of ‘religious tolerance.’ Using Paul’s response to heresy as one example, you will learn how to respond diplomatically yet boldly to the falsehood that aims to corrupt our faith today.

For those that struggle with visual discrimination, sequencing, image reversals and tracking, this workbook can help to strengthen abilities through fun and entertaining activities. This is a form of cognitive therapy that can be used by therapists, teachers and even parents. Reversing Reversals is cognitive therapy that is ideal for dyslexics, and is used by therapists, teachers and parents as an outstanding remedial tool.
