The topic of Grace has had countless authors and theologians look at it from every angle. Many come at the topic from a theological perspective… and that is very appropriate! Stanley writes about the topic of grace with the heart of a Pastor. In typical Stanley style, he writes in a very conversational, easy reading rhythm.
Beginning in Genesis and proceeding through the entire Bible, Stanley touches on many very familiar stories from Scripture. He looks at them through the lens of grace. How was God active in the lives and circumstances of some popular and not-so-popular Bible characters. At times, it feels like Stanley is sitting across the bistro table having a conversation with his reader, wanting his reading to see the incredible measure of God’s grace, not just in the pages of Scripture but also in the reader’s own life.
If you’ve listened to Stanley speak, you’ll feel right at home reading this book. It wouldn’t surprise me if this book is a compilation of messages that Stanley has preached in the past. The book is full of some great quotes that have made it into my collection for future use.
It won’t take you long to read this book, but it’s impact on your spiritual walk will take much longer to digest.
You can pick up your copy of this book at Amazon, Barnes&Noble, or ChristianBookDistributors.
