Includes Praise for What's So Amazing About Grace?; Acknowledgments; Sources and List of Other Books by Philip Yancey. " "There is nothing we can do to make God love us more. There is nothing we can do to make God love us less." We speak of grace often. But do we understand it? More important, do we truly believe in it.and do our lives proclaim it as powerfully as our words? In his most personal book yet, the best-selling author of The Jesus I Never Knew takes a probing look at grace: what it looks like.what it doesn't look like.and why only Christians can and must reveal the grace the world is searching for." - from the rear outer jacket. "This is beyond a doubt the very best book I have read from a Christian author in my life." - Dr. Robert A. Seiple, President, World Vision. "Philip Yancey is one of the most engaging and convincting writers in the Christain world. Once again he has produced a work with something in it to make everybody mad." - Charles W. Colson, Prison Fellowship Ministry. "This is great writing! Only those blind in spirit, hardened with hatred, will miss its significant message." - Gordon MacDonald. "The crown jewel of all his books. If you read the chapter, 'The Lovesick Father,' and do not weep for joy, I suggest you check your pulse.or make an appointment with your mortician." - Brennan Manning. "I'm trying to remember when I've read a more important book." - Dr. Larry Crabb, Psychologist, author, professor, Colorado Christian University. "One of the most gifted writers of our day has put a telescope on the brilliant star of grace, and finely focused on what a beautiful and powerful healing force followers of Jesus Christ could become." - The Honorable Mark Hatfield. "In 1987, an IRA bomb buried Gordon Wilson and his twenty -year-old daughter beneath five feet of rubble. Gordon alone survived. And forgave. He said of the bombers, "I have lost my daughter, but I bear no grudge.I shall pray, tonight and every night, that God will forgive them." His words caught the media's ears - and out of one man's grief, the world got a glimpse of grace. Grace is the church's great distinctive. It's the one thing the world cannot duplicate, and the one thing it craves above all else - for only grace can bring hope and trasformation to a jaded world. In What's So Amazxing About Grace? award-winning author Philip Yancey explores grace at street level. If grace is God's love for the undeserving, he asks, then what does it look like in action? And if Christians are its sole dispensers, then how are we doing at lavishing grace on a world that knows far more of cruelty and unforgiveness than it does of mercy? Yancey sets grace in the midst of life's stark images, tests its mettle against horrific "ungrace." Can grace survive in the midst of such atrocities as the Nazi holocaust? Can it triumph over the brutality of the Ku Klux Klan? Should any grace at all be shown to the likes of Jeffrey Dahmer, who killed and cannibalized seventeen young men? Grace does not excuse sin, says Yancey, but it treasures the sinner. True grace is shocking, scandalous. It shakes our conventions with its insistence on getting close to sinners and touching them with mercy and hope. It forgives the unfaithful spouse, the racist, the child abuser. It loves today's AIDS-riddden addict as much as the tax collector of Jesus' day. In his most personal and provocative book ever, Yancey offers compelling, true portraits of grace's life-changing power. He searches for its presence in his own life and in the church. He asks, How can Christians contend graciously with moral issues that threaten all they hold dear? And he challenges us to become living answers to a world that desparately wants to know, What's So Amazing About Grace?" - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. Hoffman, Sherri L.
