Onesimus Made Simple

Receive him as a brother beloved. This Bible-first guide follows the runaway slave of Philemon's letter: from fugitive to faithful, from unprofitable to profitable, from slave to beloved brother. Thirteen chapters trace Paul's tender intercession — "put that on my account" — the gospel's power to make brothers of masters and slaves, and the church's call to restore every runaway. Includes the providence of Onesimus's flight, the meaning of his name, and his reappearance in Colossians as "a faithful and beloved brother" — plus fourteen reflection questions for personal study or group discussion.
