Romans 8 is widely considered the pinnacle of the Apostle Paul’s theological masterpiece, the Book of Romans. This pivotal chapter in the New Testament is a profound exploration of how believers should live, focusing heavily on the power and guidance of the Holy Spirit.

Matthew 27, a pivotal chapter in the New Testament Gospels, details the final, dramatic hours of Christ's earthly life, focusing intensely on his Passion and crucifixion. This profound narrative is steeped in prophecy fulfillment, tracing the path from the betrayal by Judas Iscariot and the subsequent trial before Pontius Pilate to the harrowing events on Golgotha. The text is rich with theological significance, capturing the moment the Son of God is unjustly condemned, publicly mocked, and ultimately nailed to the cross.

Based on the book of Joshua, Be Strong is an inspiring guide to pursuing a victorious life. Part of Dr. Warren W. Wiersbe's best-selling "BE" commentary series, Be Strong has now been updated with study questions and a new introduction by Ken Baugh.
