In this classic book, the founder of Columbia International University, Robert C. McQuilkin, writes about the timeless appeal of the fourteenth chapter of John. Down through history, Christians have been drawn to the message "let not your heart be troubled." McQuilkin expounds on the abundant resurrection life that is so evident in this passage of Scripture. "John fourteen," he writes, "is a revelation of life from Him who is the Life."

Robert C. McQuilkin writes about the five "victory" commands of Jesus in the New Testament, all of which are centered around the single word in the original text that has often been translated "Be of Good Cheer." This particular word, he writes, "is a command to have peace and joy and rest and gladness and comfort and strength. It is a command to conquer discouragement, disappointment, despondency, or despair." It's a timeless message that's just as relevant today as when it was written.

The Lord's Prayer, Robert C. McQuilkin writes, was not primarily as a prayer to be prayed by great congregations, nor for ritual use, but in answer to the request, "Lord, teach us to pray." It's a model for how we can approach God, as his children, praying alongside of the heart of the Father. It helps align our vision with God's Kingdom and at the same time assures us of God's loving provision and care.

The message and truths found in the book of Romans are foundational to the Christian life. In this classic exposition, Robert C. McQuilkin's passion for the Scriptures shines through as he seeks to help Christians "dig into" Romans for themselves, entering into its inner spirit and understanding God's abounding grace that provides power to walk in newness of life.
