Do you despise your weaknesses?

Do you hate hardships?

Do you beg God to remove obstacles from your life?

The apostle Paul delighted in his weaknesses, welcomed hardship as a friend and thanked God for obstacles that offered opportunities to experience God's power. Was he crazy?

In this study guide Paul Stevens shows you how this foundational Christian disciple and church leader will turn your thinking upside down! In everything Paul teaches you to rely, as he did, on God's great promise: "My grace is sufficient for you."

Now available in IVP's revised LifeGuide Bible Study format, 2 Corinthians features questions for starting group discussions and for personal reflection, as well as a new "Now or Later" section following each session.
