What’s So Amazing About Grace? Philip Yancey

In this book, award-winning author Philip Yancey, explores grace at a 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? We speak of grace often, but do we understand it? More importantly, do we truly believe in it…and do our lives proclaim it as powerfully as our words? Through powerful stories, Yancey 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.
