Do we really understand grace? This is a question asked of
us before delving into Grace: More than we Deserve Greater than we Imagine by
Max Lucado. This book is like many of
Mr. Lucado’s books. He fills it full of real life stories to help us understand
the way God’s grace works. He uses some of his own faults and failures in life
to also illustrate God’s grace. If you
enjoy a light book that focuses completely on accepting God’s grace you will
enjoy this book. I don’t feel Mr. Lucado goes into grace so deeply that he
makes it hard to grasp. He lays it out very simply so that all of us can
understand it. All we have to do is accept the gift that God has so freely
given us. I love the quote “Grace is the voice that calls us to change and then
gives us the power to pull it off.” “Let’s make certain grace gets you.”
Mr. Lucado explains how God will change your life if you
will just let him. His grace is more than just a word, it’s our comfort, our
healing, our life changing gift from God. It’s a gift given freely to us. The
book also includes a study guide for each chapter. Each study begins with a
small idea of what the chapter was about, a review of scripture and questions
we should ask ourselves. It could be a study done individually but would also
make a good small group study.
I would recommend this book for anyone who would like to
understand grace a little more. I received this book at no charge from
Booksneeze.com in exchange for an honest review.
