This is a very good book. It is good because it is the work of a pastor-theologian who knows how to think his way through a passage of Scripture -- in this case, Romans 8 -- and get it right. It is good because Ray Galea, the pastor-theologian in question, knows how to write simply and compellingly. It is good because it ably addresses some of the crucial pastoral challenges of our age without sliding into utopianism on the one hand or nothing but grim determination on the other. And finally, it is a good book because the Appendices, especially two of the five, are worth the price of the entire work: what Ray says about predestination is gold (App 3), and so is Phillip Jensen's reflection on the death of his grandson (App 5).
Few preachers make the transition from sermon to book successfully, but Ray Galea does it. Here is a book as fresh, insightful, down to earth and powerfully applied, as Ray's weekly sermons at Rooty Hill. These are worthy expositions of the truths which they expound!
What do you get when you take a chapter full of significance and treasure (Romans 8) and have it taught by a pastor full of grace and honesty (Ray Galea) ? You get this terrific book that will benefit everyone who is seeking answers and assurance. God has impacted so many through Ray's ministry and He will surely help many more through this wise and loving book. It breathes pastoral reality and comfort.
