Read this book

There aren't many books that I think should be required reading for Christians. I think The Grace of God, by Andy Stanley, should.

What sets Christianity apart from every other world religion is Grace, but for some reason or another Christianity seems to be known for it's lack of grace. Why is that? Maybe we never really understood what grace was all about. Maybe we didn't grow up in a grace-filled environment. Maybe grace just makes us uncomfortable. But it's defining to Christianity. It is essential to us doing what God put us on this planet to do.

That is why you need to read this book. It's a refresher/theology/Biblical account of grace.

So what are you waiting for? Get the book and read it. You can find a copy here.

Doesn't the cover remind you a little bit of his dad's old books?

Gotta agree. The cover is terrible. I actually thought when I first saw it that they misprinted the author. You'd think they could find a better graphic designer for such an important topic.
