ECPA CHRISTIAN BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD WINNER

Are you ready to move from insecure to God secure? From regret riddled to better-because-of-it? From afraid to die to ready to fly? Today, find freedom in God's grace.

We often talk about grace, but do we really understand it? Grace politely occupies a phrase in a hymn and fits nicely on a church sign. It never causes trouble or demands a response. When asked, "Do you believe in grace?" who could say no? Bestselling author and pastor Max Lucado helps us dive deeper into what it means to be changed by grace. God's grace has a drenching about it. A wildness about it. A white-water, riptide, turn-you-upside-downness about it. Grace comes after you. It rewires you.

In this book, you will learn:

  • Grace is everything Jesus
  • You belong to Jesus
  • Jesus lives in you
  • You will increasingly grow more like Jesus
  • There is nothing you can do to get grace—grace gets you
  • Grace is the voice that calls us to change and then gives us the power to pull it off. Have you been shaped, emboldened, and softened by grace? Let's make certain grace gets you.

        “Grace woos and weds us.” This divine gift is dispensed with the overflowing surge of a fire hydrant, writes bestselling author and pastor Lucado (Outlive Your Life) in the latest addition to his consider
        . The topic of grace, and grace versus works in particular, is nothing new, and readers are unlikely to experience any epiphanies. Still, Lucado’s signature clause-filled, comfort-food style and his universal messaging are sure to warm the heart. Grace can be a somewhat intangible topic, and at times Lucado falls into abstraction (e.g., “ comes at us... wave upon wave”). Yet readers who are struggling to keep up with high expectations will appreciate practical discussions of confession that redeems and acceptance that frees them from a need-to-please-people attitude. Fans will be pleased to see that Lucado is sticking to his formula, creating another inspirational piece that could be easily transformed into a gift book of quotes. Readers who prefer a deeper theological dive may want to hold out for a meatier investigation of the topic. Agent: Steve Green, Anvil Management.

        A woman critically injured and permanently disfigured by a frozen turkey hurled at the windshield of her car manages to forgive the youth who threw it. A physician stricken with a reaction to an AIDS vaccine is helped by a planeload of doctors. A dress-shop owner lets a nonpaying customer wear a wedding dress to the hospital room of her dying father. These are just a few examples of God's grace working through people, according to best-selling author Lucado. Grace, he insists, is available in quantities greater than we imagine and more than we deserve, if we only open our hearts. Often it is extended to us whether or not we deserve it. Lucado's latest provides comforting and inspirational revelations about graceand the phenomena of getting and giving amazing second chancesthrough true stories, Bible passages, and quotes from famous writers and spiritual leaders. True grace, Lucado rightly insists, is grand both to give and receive.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2012, American Library Association.)
