What's So Amazing About Grace? - Philip Yancey


A friend and I were talking a while back (each of us having read The Shack), and I made the comment that, personally, I struggled with the concept of grace more than any other spiritual concept. He graciously (no pun intended) suggested I re-read Galatians (I highly recommend Chapters 2 and 3), and gave me this book. I'm not even to the end yet, but it's already been a huge help to me.

I"m not going to explain this book to you. It's no secret I'm of the Christian faith, but I don't want to use this blog as a platform to preach. What I will say is that, if you're like me and struggle with the concept of law vs. grace, this is the book to read. I'll leave you with this thought:

"There is nothing we can do to make God love us more.
There is nothing we can do to make God love us less."
