The Focus of Our Faith

A tidy devotional companion for Colossians that works well in a small-group setting — questions are thoughtful and the format is genuinely accessible. The trade-off is narrow reach and thin scholarly engagement, so readers wanting rigorous biblical commentary will need to look elsewhere. Worth picking up if you're already in an evangelical Bible study circle, but it's a modest resource rather than a standout one.
