I'm Excited About Colossians...
and you can be too! Paul's letter to the Colossians takes us to the heights of revealed truth about Christ perhaps like no other New Testament book. While Ephesians lifts our minds to heavenly places, Colossians reveals to us Who holds the universe together -- Christ Jesus. "The doctrine of the Person of Christ is here stated with greater precision and fulness than in any other of St. Paul's epistles" (J.B. Lightfoot). This letter can be read in around 20 minutes yet will seed a lifetime of revelation.
In this book, the author reveals how Colossians speaks to him of truth and practice. Some may term it a "devotional commentary," but he sees it is a journey of inspiration and exploration.
The book is loaded with so much truth that very few of us can take it in on our first reading. If you read it straight through, go back and read a chapter a day. If on the other hand you read a chapter a day, start reading it again at your own pace. You will be amazed at what you discover on your second time through.

What others say...
I just finished that book of God's Principle and your Potential. It took less than a week to read and I am going to read it again to savor. I appreciate the positiveness of it and to look again of what we were taught about the simplicity in Christ. How easy it is to forget what we have in Christ, but this book you wrote makes me to yearn to stay in that spiritual frame of mind. Thank you for the book to remind us of who we really are and mostly our responsibilities to stand. -- R.W., Melbourne, Australia.
As an author of books written for the Christian to learn a deeper understanding of God's Word, Peter Wade succeeds by teaching Biblical principles in a manner that I can grasp and put into action. Every principle is fully explained with scripture illustrated by Old Testament history and New Testament truth. I have learned to put my faith into action with the help of each one of these books. Peter Wade's style is direct, brief, witty, completely comprehensible, and above all--truthful to the Word of God. -- W.G., San Jose, CA.
