[Lee Button · Rating 4 out of 5]

A pastoral and compassionate exhortation on a passage deep in theology. The words are easy to follow and the illustrations effective. I am sure this will be listed as a good read in my list.

"There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ." This book really helps a person to understand that.
