Luis Palau Β· 1985
65/100
πŸ‘Ž Skip It

Luis Palau was one of the twentieth century's most recognized evangelists, and this 1985 devotional exposition of 2 Corinthians carries genuine pastoral weight, grounding the call to authenticity in careful biblical exposition rather than anecdote. The lack of any independent critical coverage for this specific title and the four-decade age of the cultural illustrations make it hard to score high, but evangelical readers who trust Palau's ministry will likely find it worthwhile. Secular readers or those outside evangelical Protestantism will find little here for them.
