It has given me greater understanding and confidence of the pivotal
place of Romans in our discipleship and mission. I believe it is a
must-read for anyone wanting to better equip themselves in
understanding, and believing, why we should not be "ashamed of the
gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to
everyone who believes" . . . I love it!
