Every year on our kids’ birthdays, we back them up against the door frame and measure their heights. This week we are celebrating the third anniversary of the Grace Commentary. It’s time to get out the tape measure.
After three years of progress, the Grace Commentary looks something like this:
- 10,000+ entries covering 3,500+ New Testament verses
- seven New Testament books 100% completed
- a companion Grace Glossary covering 40+ keywords of grace
- readers in 170+ countries
- three printed installments published with three more to come this year
These numbers are encouraging, but they mean nothing if no one reads the commentary. Who is the typical Grace Commentary reader?
According to our recent Readers’ Survey, nearly 40% of Grace Commentary readers are pastors or church leaders. More than half of all readers regularly preach and teach. This suggests that the Grace Commentary is being used for sermon preparation, Bible study, Sunday School lessons and devotionals in churches all over the world.
Our entire church uses The Grace Commentary and I highly recommend it.
Pastor Joe Ganahl from South Dakota
Although the Grace Commentary is a work in progress, reader feedback suggests that after just three years it is already a valuable tool for helping people grow in grace. And it’s only going to get bigger and better.
Thanks for sharing the journey, and a big thank you to our supporters.

Wonderful, Paul!! This is such a much-needed resource! God bless you and the work you (and your wife/team) are doing!
This is just wonderful Paul – and Camilla – reaching the most influential people in Churches all over the world with a full understanding of the GOOD NEWS, the NEW COVENANT, THE GOSPEL of GRACE and raising up changed ministers that will change their listeners to become more like Jesus.
This is nothing but a great revolution! Any real change always start with the Church fully recognising who we are in Christ.
What a joy to able to participate in this. And what a joy it must be for you and your family Paul, a confirmation of what following the Lord’s nudgings might lead to.
