In the opening chapters of John's Gospel, you see a group of men who were struggling with their faith and occasionally stumbling. But after Christ's death and resurrection, things changed - because they became transformed by His power and His Word. In completing his study of John's Gospel, Dr. Warren Wiersbe explains how you can become a transformed person.
He answers such important questions as:
How does the Holy Spirit work in my life?
What are the secrets of answered prayer?
Why is Christian fellowship so important?
How can I overcome the pressures of the world?
Questions for personal reflection and group discussion are included at the end of each chapter.

Publisher's Description
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 joyhow 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 callingsthe 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 livedJesus Christand hold onto the joy that never forsakes.
