Dr. Wiersbe is an internationally known Bible teacher and the former pastor of the Moody Church in Chicago. For ten years he served as general director and Bible teacher for the Back to the Bible radio broadcast. Dr. Wiersbe has written more than 150 books. In 2002, he was awarded the Jordon Lifetime Achievement Award by the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association. He and his wife, Betty, live in Lincoln, Nebraska.

Whether you’re a pastor, teacher, or curious Christian, use these BE series commentaries to study the Bible verse-by-verse in easy-to-read sections that emphasize personal application as well as biblical meaning. The BE Series is the culmination of Dr. Wiersbe’s life work and is respected by many as a warm and stimulating approach to Bible study.

One reviewer says, “Dr. Wiersbe writes with such clarity and in a ‘down to earth’ fashion, it is a thorough encouragement and makes me want to dig into God’s Word even deeper and learn and grow more.”
