Oh yes, John Stott's commentary on Galatians (also in the Bible Speaks Today series) is the best commentary ever written on that book. If I had to preach on Galatians I think I would just read that book (and add a few comments of my own concerning infant baptism and against holy days etc).  | I would echo Greenbaggins comment that Longenecker is first rate (and not just because I went to school with his son). Longenecker touches on an essential issue that is not often addressed: were the Judaizers propounding an error in justification or an error in sanctification instead of or in addition to an error in justification? You may not agree with his conclusion but he will force you to really think the issue through.

"I once sat in darkness, and waited for the moon to rise.
I once sat in darkness, and waited for the sun to shine.
I once sat in darkness, when all the light I'd waited for was gone.
Then Jesus came, and now the only true light, ever, shines in me."
