"It was a great pleasure to see/hear an artist bring one of the Apostle Paul's letters to life. I am pleased to commend Stephen Trafton to any and all who would like to have the biblical text brought to life in this way."
--Dr. Gordon D. Fee, New Testament Scholar

“This is the most dynamic, informative way to experience this book I have ever seen. If you are looking for a way to make Philippians more than words on a page, if you are trying to understand it as the life-changing, challenging, revolutionary text that it is, I can’t recommend ‘Encountering Philippians’ enough."

--Ben Jeffrey, actor Pumba in The Lion King

“With the appropriate blend of artistic creativity and textual faithfulness, Stephen brings to life the letter of Philippians by evoking the imagination to the 1^st Century scene. In doing so, the practical relevance of the message is felt by those who listen.“  

--Bijan Mirtolooi Youth Pastor and Seminary Student at Westminster Theological Seminary
