What Others Are Saying about Our Project . . .

What New Testament
ProfessorDonald A. Hagner Thinks of
the CWP Project . . .

“Having a cup of coffee with the authors of the NT” is both an exciting and appealing way to conceive of what is a unique encounter with the text of the NT. Gary Collier, the moving force behind the program, is an extremely gifted Bible scholar and at the same time an especially exciting and effective teacher. Those who participate in this program will not only receive the very best instruction but will find practical resources for their spiritual life and their daily walk. I know of nothing comparable to this exciting innovative program and I am happy to recommend it with the highest enthusiasm.

I recently started Coffee with Paul and immediately fell in love with it! The writing style is smooth and engaging. I like the experience of having coffee with Paul (he prefers Decaf, but you’d never know it)—reading “his” intro the first day helped me feel the “anxiety” for his fledgling church, born out of the circumstances that it was. And yet what he hears about their witness makes plain not only the level of excitement he shares about them, but also the sincere belief he has in the power of the Saving Message of Christ in their lives! I could also go on about the scripture based praying, the daily variety of “devotions and exercises,” how the daily scripture focus has a positive cumulative effect on my spirit and mind, and the joy of being part of a study that treats context with the utmost respect, but . . . I won’t. . . experience it for yourself!

Click to hear a 25 second excerpt from “Heaven” When I dove into this study I found that I very much enjoyed doing it. It is a fresh and new approach to a Bible devotion. I found the journaling to be rewarding and although it took me a few days to adjust to the idea that I was sharing a study with Paul, when it set in it left me wanting more. I look forward to continuing this study when it is available.

I don’t even need to read the entire devotional to tell you that this is incredible. Spending time with a devotional has always been a struggle for me. Not something I looked forward to. There always seems to be too much to do at the end of a reading section to really process the information or have the time. This devotional is so different putting all others to shame. I found it easy to read and understand. The writing sections are short and easy to find the time to do. I wake each morning anxious to complete the next days devotional and the translation is so enlightening. When you compare the KJV and this it makes understanding the text so much easier. When are you and your team going to do the rest of the Bible. I want more. More understanding, more understanding of what God has for me. How incredible it is to really understand that the trials I have been through and what the early Christians face are so completely different. Would I have been as faithful as they were. Sadly at this point no. But I am inspired to work on this now after 6 years of walking alone without trusting God to help me on the path that I am on I feel myself open to his leading once more. This revelation came all after only two days with Paul. God has placed this text in my path for me to open my eyes to him once again. I have yearned to have him back in my life but it always seemed to difficult to grasp. Coffee with Paul is a blessing to the world. I am completely blown away by the message it has to give. Structurally it is by far the easiest devotional to follow and really sink your teeth into what Paul was saying. What incredible faith both he and the early Christians had. They are an example for all of us to follow. Thank you for sharing this and your love of God with me. Kudos on finding an incredible way of spreading the word of God in an understandable way.
