To the Glory of God

by James Montgomery Boice, D. Marion Clark (Editor)

Romans has long been a book to which believers have looked for both doctrine and encouragement. Many Christian readers have long trusted beloved pastor and author James Montgomery Boice to guide them through the Scriptures through his ministry and his writings. Now these two much-loved sources of wisdom come together in To the Glory of God , a devotional drawn from Boice's commentary on the book of Romans. Offering rich reflections on Romans, this book contains forty commentary selections, devotional challenges, and the complete text of the book of Romans.

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.

[Angie (Bussen) Siedell · Rating 3 out of 5]

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.

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.
