God is For Us: 52 readings from Romans
Simon Ponsonby presents 52 inspirational chapters, bringing Paul's greatest letter to life, and blending careful theological and historical detail with illuminating application. Romans is intellectually and theologically massive. Augustine of Hippo, the great architect of Western theology, was converted while reading Romans. Martin Luther's encounter with the text led to a personal revival and the European Reformation, and Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones refused to teach on Romans for decades until he had grappled with and understood chapter 6. This passionate, illuminating devotional will prove a potent means of grace and growth.

I really enjoyed reading through this book on Romans.
In essence, it is a collection of sermons preached in a local church. This means that not all of Romans is covered, and some sections are covered quite repetitively. However, this is a readable and rich insight into Romans and how to preach it.

I may be taking ages to read this book but it is not a book to hurry over.
52 readings from Romans and every one a gem. As I have been reading and studying Romans this year I have enjoyed the insightful chapters which have added much to my personal devotions.
I think I have now covered the book and Romans once but I have to say this is an excellent read and I am sure I will be back many times in the future.
This is an amazing book - 52 studies of the book of Romans. I have spent the last three months digging into Romans, reading and re-reading a chapter and then using this book to help my studies. It gives such great insight into what can be a daunting book of the Bible but my faith has been built up and I have a far greater revelation of the salvation that Jesus bought for all men at the cross – first for the Jew and then the Gentile.
I am no theologian or Bible scholar. I am a Christian who loves Jesus but this book is so accessible for everyone and really aids anyone who wants to understand and have their faith built up by studying the book of Romans. Highly recommended.
