"Grace - it's a stained-glass, impersonal word until it happens to you. Until you have been broken beyond belief and need a miracle for your soul. Until you have betrayed a loved one and cannot bring them back. Until you have befriended every darkness and are desperate for the light. That's when God's relentless, amazing, very personalized grace finds you. It reached a slave trader on board a ship raiding Africa's coast in March 1748. He later gave the world its most beloved hymn. It struck the Christian church's most treacherous enemy on a Damascus road in A.D. 45 .and he became the gospel's greatest messenger. And it can free you too .of any shameful memory, open wound, unthinking mistake or willful choice. Encountering God's grace changes lives forever. Let Dr. David Jeremiah show you how the transforming mercy that captured songwriter John Newton and the apostle Paul can awaken within you a fresh experience of the God who loves you fearlessly and pursues you with abandon." - from the rear outer jacket. "The sweetest sound on earth. John Newton was captivated by it - "Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me." -- as was the apostle Paul, who heralded it again and again throughout the New Testament: "The grace of our Lord was poured out on me abundantly . the worst of sinners." And we hear of people every day who testify that God's astonishing grace is alive and well. But has it captured you? Grace rescues us from our lostness, trumps our weaknesses and transforms us from victims to victors in a world that does its best to drag us down. But when we encounter it for ourselves - ESPECAILLY when we encounter it for ourselves - the message in John Newton's famous hymn and the apostle Paul's letters becomes a living song that frees us from our past and lifts our hearts and heads. As Pastor David Jeremiah parallels the lost-to-found journeys of the writer of "Amazing Grace" and the biblical preacher, he gives you new eyes to see the grace that surrounds you even now - and that beckons you by name. Overlaying the lyrics of Newton's hymn with true stories as ancient as Scripture and as modern as today's headlines. Dr. Jeremiah powerfully illustrates that one experience of God-filled grace can transform anyone's scandalous, broken past into a life of purpose and peace." - from the inner front jacket flap.
