Hardback. Condition: Good. I have lost my daughter, but I bear no grudge . 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 ear -- 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 transformation to a jaded world. In What's So Amazing 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 wrong, says Yancey, but it treasures the wrongdoer. True grace is shocking, scandalous. It shakes our conventions with its insistence on getting close to evil and touching it with mercy and hope. It forgives the unfaithful spouse, the racist, the child abuser. It loves today's AIDS- ridden 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 desperately wants to know, What's So Amazing About Grace. …

Paperback. Condition: Good. "Steve Turner is a tough-minded poet with an ear for the psalms, an eye for the miracles in the mundane and an understanding of how despair can break the ground for joy to take root. The story of 'Amazing Grace' is just that: a gospel song with out any of the big-grinning cheesiness often found in that genre. As a musician, I am often struck by the phrase 'sweet the sound'as in 'Amazing grace! (how sweet the sound)'. I love to think music can be an instrument of grace.that there might be mercy in melody and that at the very least a great song can fill the silence of indifference we sometimes find in our hearts." -Bono From acclaimed music writer Steve Turner, an unprecedented and illuminating study of this inspirational hymn Behind our most beloved hymn is a fascinating story spanning continents, cultures, and centuries. Inspired by the way this piece of music continues to live and grow, acclaimed writer Steve Turner traces "Amazing Grace" from the composition of its lyrics by former slave trader John Newton, to its current status as the most popular hymn in America. John Newton had been rescued from Africa by a merchant ship when, during an 11-hour storm on the Atlantic, he began his conversion to Christianity. Years later, as a minister, he wrote the hymn for use among his congregation. Through the 19th century "Amazing Grace" appeared in more and more hymn books, and in the 20th century it rose to a gospel and folk standard before exploding into pop music, and has been recorded by artists as varied as Elvis Presley, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Johnny Cash, and Destiny's Child. Amazing Grace closely examines this modern history of the hymn through personal interviews with recording artists. With in-depth research and personal interviews with recording artists, Amazing Grace is a thorough and illuminating musical history--as well as a source of comfort and inspiration at a time when America is rediscovering its spirituality and its tradition.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. With increasing frequency, mainline Christians are challenged--by televangelists as well as by neighbors, friends, and coworkers--with the question: Are you saved? Not only are they stumped for an answer, but they may be unsure of exactly what salvation means. This book examines the concept of salvation in the Hebrew Scriptures and in the New Testament, showing readers that salvation, rather than simply the attainment of a faraway heaven in the afterlife, is also accomplished in the here-and-now through the Gospel of Jesus. In everyday language and an accessible, conversational tone, Saving Salvation helps Christians reach a deeper, more nuanced understanding of salvation than that provided by the dominant religious culture of our day. More than a heavenly reward for good behavior or right belief, Smith says, salvation is also the gift of God's abundant grace--through the love of family and friends, prayer, and service--in a Kingdom experienced here on earth. With its thorough grounding in Scripture, along with reflection questions posted on the Morehouse website, Saving Salvation will serve as an excellent resource for both individual, small group, and parish study.…
