Overview

The Apostle Paul's letter to the Romans is widely regarded as his magnum opus. At the center of that book lies chapter 8, which Dr. Derek W.H. Thomas calls ""the best chapter in the Bible,"" for in the thirty-nine verses of that single chapter of Scripture, Paul shows how the gospel brings believers all the way home. From ""no condemnation"" (v. 1) to ""no separation"" (v. 39), the chapter is an overview of the Christian life. In these pages, Dr. Thomas leads his readers step by step through this remarkable chapter of Scripture, unfolding the waystations along the Christian journey and uncovering profound exhortations and reassurances for God's people.

The best books are those that instruct the mind, engage the imagination, and ignite the heart with love for God. Dr. Derek Thomas' How the Gospel Brings Us All the Way Home does all three. With theological care, textual precision, and a pastor's heart, Dr. Thomas holds Paul's glorious meditation in Romans 8 to our eyes and helps us remember again just how great is the salvation Jesus won for His people. If you want a better understanding of the Bible, a deeper appreciation for the gospel, and a spur to worship Jesus Christ our Savior, this book is a great place to start. --Greg Gilbert In How the Gospel Brings Us All the Way Home, Derek Thomas skillfully expounds Romans 8, a passage that has become my favorite chapter of the Bible. Thomas dives deep into doctrinal truth and beckons us not only to believe these truths intellectually, but to experience the beauty of our personal salvation against the backdrop of the final restoration of all things. --Trevin Wax While Christians may believe that the gospel merely begins our Christian lives, Derek Thomas shows us convincingly that the gospel is the beginning, middle, and end of our lives--indeed, that it is status-shaping, holiness-motivating, and glory-providing. Moving through the grand biblical themes of Romans 8 that shape our understanding of who and whose we are, believers will see that our union with Jesus determines everything about us. Would that my church members might marinate in these truths and so emerge gospel-soaked and gospel-encouraged. --Dr. Sean Michael Lucas
