Robbie OhAge: 18-24Gender: male5 Stars Out Of 5An Overlooked Topic, Brought to the SurfaceMarch 16, 2012Robbie OhAge: 18-24Gender: maleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5Judging by the cover of this book I though that It would be pretty ordinary, but I was very mistaken. This book is about one of the most beautiful things you will ever discover, God's grace.
I had heard about God's grace a lot but it was never explained to me very well. This book opened my eyes to God's Grace and gave me a whole new appreciation of it. I highly recommend this book.
Note: Don't read this book quickly. -
ckwing80MYAge: 25-34Gender: male5 Stars Out Of 5Experiencing God's Grace while readingJanuary 21, 2012ckwing80MYAge: 25-34Gender: maleQuality: 4Value: 4Meets Expectations: 5The book title didn't attract me at first. I thought it is a normal testimonies or experiences sharing kind of book.
I can tell it is not after I read it.
Author is anointed to tell us how God's grace work since the beginning of the world. From Adam, to Abraham, Jacob, David, Jonah, Paul, and up to the smallest character-one of the crucified sinner beside Jesus, God shows His amazing grace. I thought grace only happen after Jesus paid the atonement of sin, but I was wrong all the while. God has been a gracious God since the Old Testament. You may say "How can it be? Humiliation, cruelty, etc happened!"
This book enlightens me different perspectives of how God works at his most unconditional way. I've never been at close with the topic of God's Law vs God's Grace. We tends to do all kinds of good things to make us look good.
I've been experiencing the grace while reading through this book. The last bit is the best, it seems unfair that His grace is given so freely and yet people do not believe in it. It is true, Grace is given to all that forgiven. -

A BlinchOntario Canada5 Stars Out Of 5The Grace of GodDecember 1, 2010A BlinchOntario CanadaQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5From the back cover:
"Grace. It's what we crave most when our guilt is exposed. It's the very thing we are hesitant to extend when we are confronted with the guilt of others-especially when their guilt has robbed us of something we consider valuable.
Therein is the struggle, the struggle for grace. It's the struggle that makes grace more story than doctrine. It's the struggle that reminds us that grace is bigger than compassion or forgiveness. That struggle is the context for both. When we are on the receiving end, grace is refreshing. When it is required of us, it is often disturbing. But when correctly applied, it seems to solve just about everything. This struggle is not new; it has been going on since the beginning."
The Grace Of God is a book for every person who sits in a pew today. I thoroughly enjoyed this book by Andy Stanley. Grace is examined through the lens of Scripture, told in story form with familiar biblical stories. It is relevant, refreshing and authentically written in the Andy Stanley manner. Although Stanley and others state that it is not a deep or complicated book we forget that grace is not deep or complicated. Our struggle is in the application of grace - receiving it and giving it away. Stanley does unveil some applications of Scripture and reveals grace as I have never heard it before. I am more convinced that our Christian culture has robbed us some of our understanding of this critical element of God's love; indeed, our understanding of the very Personhood of God. Since reading this book, many times I have stopped myself short and re-examined a current situation and saw God's grace in it or saw where grace was required of me. His conclusions are what we need to hear today. This is a book for our times!

trusthimtoOntario, CanadaAge: 25-34Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5god's graceNovember 22, 2010trusthimtoOntario, CanadaAge: 25-34Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5I enjoyed this book. It is one of those books I plan to keep on my bookshelf and re-read my times. I appreciated the use of Bold throughout the book to highlight a few of the key points. It was a challenging read as we often need to be reminded that it is because of God's Grace and not our own efforts. With many references to the Bible, it gives you an opportunity to further into the characters discussed in each chapters.
I would definitely recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn more about God's Grace.
"Grace is the vehicle God uses on occasion to ensure that we get precisely what we don't deserve."
