I have quickly come to appreciate this series of commentaries/sermons as a great help in my sermon preparation from week to week, and for my own edification. I greatly appreciate the basic commitments of this series: that the Church should take Scripture seriously (their view on Scripture is solidly evangelical), and that verse-by-verse exposition and application is a phenomenal--if not the primary--way of engaging people with God's revelation and will.

Among the books in this series I have read, this one may not be the most helpful. Most every chapter was very helpful in gaining understanding of the text, and ways in which they may apply to the contemporary Christian. But there were times when chapters were predicable, though by no means unbiblical.

As a series I heartily recommend Preaching the Word, and if you are looking for a good "application" resource on Colossians and Philemon, this would be a great addition to your shelf.
