Description:
"The mercies of God are for many misunderstood, ignored and unapplied in many pulpits and individual hearts. Robert helps us to understand them so that we can apply this tremendous truth for our lives. When you start reading, you won't put it down. Get a pad of paper and pencil to take notes... When you're done, you will never look at the book of Romans the same again."
- Luis A. Llerena, Jr.
"This book invites us to lift our eyes beyond circumstance and see the world through the lens of God's mercy, a perspective that invites and challenges you...to dive deeper into Scripture, while also guiding how you walk with Christ each day. May your enjoyment of this study be as impactful for you, the reader, as it has for me."
- Shaun O'Connell
"Robert argues, I believe convincingly, that Paul's famous appeal in Romans 12:1 to offer our lives as living sacrifices, only makes sense if by mercies Paul means everything God has done for us in Jesus Christ as explained in Romans 1-11. The practical expressions of faith in action in Romans 12-16 are not an add-on to the gospel articulated in Romans 1-11. Rather, they are the overflow of a renewed mind and heart that sees the mercies of God as the umbrella over every aspect of Christian living, without exception."
- Andy Chambers
What began as a Bible study has become what you are about to read. This book takes you on an enriching journey through the book of Romans, likely one you've never traveled before. The goal is to understand and grasp Paul's bigger picture as he intended- "Living in View of God's Mercies."
