"Bishop Ed Little’s wonderful and rich meditation on St. Paul’s letter to the Philippians is an outstanding commentary on the theme of joy in all circumstances of life."—Lord Carey of Clifton, Archbishop of Canterbury, 1991-2002

“This book-length meditation on St. Paul’s Letter to the Philippians is deeply rooted in Sacred Scripture, theology, and the doctrinal and spiritual traditions of the Church. Bishop Little manifests a rich and finely honed pastoral sense and a gift for clear and engaging writing. This book deserves a wide ecumenical readership.”—Rev. Richard P. McBrien, Professor of Theology, University of Notre Dame, and author of The Church: The Evolution of Catholicism

"This book grows out of a study of St. Paul's Letter to the Philippians. It reflects on the amazing fact hat, even though the letter was written from prison, it is filled with Joy. Bishop Little attempts to account for that joy and make it available to his readers."—The Living Church
