2020 Book Review #26: Grace

This book!

A true gem by a favorite author.

Summary

This is a book that explores the deep meaning of grace in a Christ-follower's life.

Max asks the questions:  Have you been changed by grace?  Have you been strengthened by grace? Shaped or emboldened by grace? Softened by grace?
Shaken to your senses by grace?


Chapter titles are:

The Grace-Shaped Life
The God Who Stoops
O Sweet Exchange
You Can Rest Now
Wet Feet
Grace on the Fringe
Coming Clean with God
Fear Dethroned
Unscrooged Hearts
Chosen Children
Heaven:  Guarenteed
When Grace Happens

I loved every chapter and highlighted statements or Scriptures that stood out to me or that the Lord wanted me to really grasp.

The chapters that I focused on for deeper study are: The God Who Stoops, Wet Feet.

There's a reader's guide in the back of the book so technically this could be done as a Bible Study/Small group study.  I've read the book and now am going through the questions in the back, taking notes and answering the ones that pertain to my current life.

This book is an excellent look at what exactly the concept of grace is and is not.

In my opinion, this book is appropriate for any Christ follower over the age of 17.

On a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the highest, I rate this a 10.
