Dysfunctional relationships may seem to be a modern problem, but they're nothing new. They're as old as mankind itself. From Genesis through Revelation, the first family to our own family, friends to foes, we see evidence of just what happens when God is left out of the picture. Broken hearts, broken dreams, broken lives.

It's a disease of epic proportion. And try as we might, in our own strength we will never heal ourselves; we can merely treat the symptoms. Only God can cure the disease. And nothing but his grace will bring us the healing, joy, and restoration we so desperately desire.

In her Bible study, Embracing Grace, author Judy Baker combines modern day examples with truths from God's word to show why reconciliation is essential to the Christian faith. She explores the fact that biblical reconciliation doesn't stop with the salvation experience, and is more than social interactions.

She shows us that when we embrace God's grace we learn to turn to him for the solutions to our problems instead of trying to fix ourselves. We no longer impose unrealistic expectations on ourselves or on others. We look on him as our source for healing, joy, peace, and a correct self-image. We rest in the knowledge that indeed God is in control.

As a result, we are able to truly walk in Christ's love. We forgive ourselves, and we forgive others. The walls we have built around us begin to crumble. We no longer hide behind masks. We discover true reconciliation with God, family, and friends.

If you're seeking peace, if you have relationships that need reconciliation, if you desire a precious, intimate relationship with God, you'll only find it by Embracing Grace
