How do I find peace with God? Or freedom from guilt? What hope is there for the future? How can I be sure of God's love for me? Paul answers these questions (and more) in his letter to the Romans, a letter that has given comfort and hope to millions in the 2000 or so years since it was written, and has transformed the lives of many, including such great reformers as St Augustine, Martin Luther, and John Wesley.
'The Giver of Peace' is a book of reflections on Paul's letter. The author, Tim Britton, has had many years of experience as a church leader in England and as a trainer of church leaders in Uganda, East Africa. The book includes an explanation of what he thinks Paul said and why, and is an honest and personal record of Tim's thoughts, reactions and memories as he prayerfully read through the letter and meditated on it. Tim's hope is that readers will experience for themselves the transformation that Paul's teaching can spark, with a growing closeness to God through Jesus Christ. Read it and see!
The book includes the text of Paul's letter together with Tim's reflections, and comes to about 190 pages. The chapters match those of the book of Romans in the Bible.
