Comforts from Romans: Celebrating the Gospel One Day at a Time (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798841672562)

Two thousand years ago the Apostle Paul penned a letter to his friends in Rome. He wanted them to know what their new religion, Christianity, was all about. But his letter was far more than just an introduction to a new faith. It was a majestic, succinct, and deeply practical exploration of the gospel--an exploration of all that Jesus Christ was and did for us. This letter, what we now refer to as the Book of Romans in the Bible, was called "the very purest Gospel" by Martin Luther.

This shockingly good news should be what has defined Christians. But sadly, in many places it's not. Considering that the gospel is not only refreshing, soul-strengthening, and surprisingly freeing, it's sad that many people who have grown up in the church still think that being a Christian means you are a good person who is made a little better by adding a lot of hard work and a little dash of Jesus. Rather, the message of the gospel is the only agent that has the power to liberate us from our inner slave driver and from all the ways we seek to assure or anesthetize ourselves.

In this easily accessible little book, you will journey with Elyse through the first 8 chapters of Romans. For 31 days, you'll focus on a different portion of the good news and then you'll read a short explanation and application of the truths for the day. Meditating on the gospel, whether you're new to Christianity or an old hand at it, will remind you that no matter what you face that day, you're not alone. You are forgiven.
