Treasures from Rome: GEMS for You from the Epistle to the Romans

"Treasures from Rome" takes Paul’s Epistle to the Romans and mines from it thirty gems that apply to your daily life today as they did to the Romans, gems which sparkle from the pages to guide people of faith in their desire for an encounter with the Divine. The book is not quite the same as a bible study, nor is it a sketch about Paul or the church he founded. Rather, it is a devotional springboard for you to enrich your faith, deepen your relationships with others, discover new heights to your faith and leap further into your closer walk with God. Your life will be enriched by these gems.

Some may view Romans as the Apostle Paul’s best work, a culmination of his thinking, preaching and teaching. Others may see his words as less relevant to life in the twenty-first century, for they were not addressed to us but to a very specific group of Christians facing new complicated questions as Christianity spread beyond the Holy Lands into the Greek and Roman world. And yet, parts of Paul’s guidance jump off the page to all who encounter them as they lift up, inspire and call Christians to follow Jesus and glorify God. His words are truly gems peeking out from rocks and crevices, treasures from his Epistle that transcend time and apply directly to us as people of faith.
