'If God is on our side, who is against us? ... Nothing in all creation can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus' (Romans 8.9). Paul's letter to the Romans contains some of the most uplifting passages in the New Testament. But it is also a book of vital importance for Christians today seeking to understand and live out their faith. This new edition of Roger Bowen's classic Study Guide offers a lively, helpful and relevant commentary on the letter. Thoroughly revised and updated, the new Guide should continue to be an essential resource for anyone reading Romans for years to come. As with other titles in the series, there are study suggestions and activities at the end of each chapter, suitable for individual work or group discussion.

Preaching can be an extremely daunting experience for many but is an essential part of any service or Christian occasion. It is so important for the preacher to engage with their listeners and present their message clearly. A Guide to Preaching will do just that - an authoritative, comprehensive yet immensely readable book containing a treasure chest of facts, styles, inspiration and lively examples from around the world for old hands or those new to preaching. A Guide to Preaching covers every aspect of the task of preaching, from planning a sermon that takes account of biblical, personal, church and liturgical background through to using stories, imagination, dialogue, drama, news bulletins and much more. An entire chapter is devoted to developing the skills of rhetoric, and it includes plenty of practical advice and examples to help you understand, develop and review your own style. Roger Bowen has edited this guide with contributions from David Edwards, David Gitari, Simea Meldrum, Esther Mombo and Vinoth Ramachandra. ""This is a helpful book from which most preachers will learn something."" Stella Mills, Rural Theology (vol. 5, issue 68)
