A Passion for God: Prayers and Meditations on the Book of Romans

By Raymond C. Ortlund Jr.

Book Overview

While devotional works rarely tie in closely to the biblical text, and formal commentaries rarely apply the truths being taught in the Bible, this book uniquely does both at once. Included with each sub-section in Paul's letter are prayers that translate the truths of God's Word into personal worship.

Customer Reviews

Pick it up again and again!

I bought Ray's book when it first came out about 1995. I have picked it up again and again over the years. Recently our men's prayer group started using it for our devotions on Friday mornings. This book is ideal for family worship, group devotions, or private devotions. It is written by a scholar-saint and pastor, who loves God, the church and yearns for revival. If you pick it up and read, you will find your own heart revived with the truths of Romans.

An exceptional, relevant and probing devotional on Romans.

I can't say it much better than the accolades on the back cover--this is an exceptional devotional. It penetrates deeply; it is rich in personal application. The author's insights will force you to thoughtfully pause and examine your own life and attitudes as he effectively applies Paul's letter. The book is an excellent and meaningful resource for anyone studying Romans, who desires to walk more closely with Christ.
