The Grace of God
Andy Stanley
Thomas Nelson, 2010, 240 pp., $21.99, ThomasNelson.com
Even though the idea of grace is perhaps the most crucially foundational concept in Scripture, it is nearly impossible for most of us to wrap our minds around.
Andy Stanley writes that grace is the biblical doctrine that he most preaches about; yet in all the books he has written, he’s never authored one in which the main focus was grace—until now.
In his new release The Grace of God, Stanley walks us through the history of the people of God and demonstrates the same God-given, undeserved mercy from the very beginning in the Garden of Eden to the patriarchs of Israel and through the Old Testament prophets before transitioning the readers into the last third of the book where he expounds on the ramifications of grace as illustrated in the gospels—in the life of Christ.
If you are looking for a book to challenge your complacency with what should be one of the most life-changing concepts of the Christian faith, or if your desire is to see God in the Old Testament as a God of grace, this book most certainly will hold your attention.
