This is a 40 day look at the book of Romans. It took me close to 3 months. In my defense, we did move from Georgia to Ohio and I had to do all the packing and unpacking. And it was near Christmas and I had to work many long days. And the subject was deep enough that I really did not want to fly through it.

It was so good that when I get a quiet time, I plan to re-do this study.

I expected more of a commentary or study on Romans but this felt like random thoughts that were barely tied to Scripture other than really generic themes. Theologically everything was sound but not what o was hoping for.

A concise devotional book with thought-provoking questions. A solid read.

Excellent selection from his commentary on Romans and inspiring application suggestions. Boice's heart for witnessing comes across strongly and he keeps the gospel at the center throughout. I am so excited to have discovered his writing after having heard so much about him for years. I am looking forward to reading more of his books!

Read this last year for Lent. It's written by the pastor of the church I attended when I lived in Philadelphia. Like his sermons, these are very insightful, deep and accessible devotional readings that take you through very complex and beautiful Scriptures.

Read it for Lent, as a church. It was fine, but after three years of reading Tim Keller for Lent, it was a letdown. A very typical, very average, daily devotional book.

[Sally · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a great devotional, not an indepth commentary, since that was not the purpose of the book. I highly recommend it.

[David Kakish · Rating 3 out of 5]

A decent devotional reader.

Good reading -- from Calvinist perspective. I could get Luther's take from the Scripture's context and found things to appreciate from Boice' comments.
