Derek Thomas has written an excellent little book on that vital chapter Romans 8. These were originally sermons but they have been lightly re-edited for reading and cover the ground in a most readable and spiritually nourishing way. With quotes from Calvin, Owen, some of our great hymns and other excellent sources the book moves through the material a few verses at a time with confidence and clarity in a way that any Christian could benefit from. I read my copy on kindle but the book is available in other formats. The book is called How the gospel brings us all the way home.
The similar phrase 'Worldly Christianity' is one used by Bonhoeffer. It's J Gresham Machen that I want to line up most closely with. See his Christianity and culture here. Having done commentaries on Proverbs (Heavenly Wisdom) and Song of Songs (Heavenly Love), a matching title for Ecclesiastes would be Heavenly Worldliness. For my stance on worldliness, see 3 posts here.
