The truest thing about us is what God says about us.

In our current sermon series at Church, our pastor was referencing Walking in Victory quite a bit. So, I checked this book out of the library, and when I started highlighting a lot of quotes, I knew it was one I wanted to own, so I bought it.

Romans 5-8 is the premiere passage in the New Testament on how to grow spiritually. At the heart of these chapters is the need to understand, believe, and apply our new identity in Christ.

Overall, I liked this book. I found some sections more interesting than others, but it is a great way to learn more about the book of Romans.

God wants us to hear something important from Romans 5 and 6: It's not enough to change what we do; we have to change who we are.

While this book is on the shorter side, the author covers quite a few topics. Each chapter is fairly short and digestible. I found it to be a quick read and worth the time.

THis book was excellent I highly recommend. Basically, it’s about having the right perspective on life in our walk with God. So often we live in defeat and depression over our sin, which, (no way) God forgave already! Walk in victory. Having the same perspective on both ourselves and the world as God does really makes you more successful as a Christian.

[B Johnson]

One of my favorite books EVER! I have read it multiple times.

So many believers in Christ struggle with the concepts of law and grace in their daily lives. Too many wonder why they can’t seem to experience victory over sin. Though we understand that we are saved by grace alone, we often have a tendency to try to live by the law. “Walking In Victory” is an excellent guide to understanding the principal scriptural passage on grace and law found in Romans 5-8. McCallum offers fresh insights into the sanctification process. In his book, McCallum helps us understand the importance of our position in Christ. If we believe in Christ, we are new creatures, already alive from the dead. If we truly understand that, we can experience the joy and victory that God intends for us. McCallum also shows us how we can have a deeper relationship with Christ through prayer, Bible study, Christian service, and fellowship. He brings the deep theological truths of Romans 5-8 down to a very understandable and practical level that makes his book suitable for both new and old believers.

The book is not high prose- but it captures the nuts and bolts of the Romans perspective on the Christian life like few books I have read. Down to earth, instantly applicable. Must read- several times.

[Dennis Henn]

Solid consideration of Romans chapter 6-8 with an emphasis of walking by grace in the victory Christ purchased for us. This position is opposed to the legalism that burdens so many Christ followers. His last chapter on Paul's transformation was particularly good.

[Jennifer Kline]

Great content, but poorly edited.
