"“Is the experience of God’s grace in your life a
thrilling thing? Just thinking about the fact that God, by His own sovereign
plan, decided to be gracious to me is overwhelming. There is nothing greater
than receiving grace upon grace.” —John MacArthur
Simple
definitions can make grace feel like an obvious―even mundane―concept. Nothing
could be further from the truth. Grace is the defining feature of the Christian
faith. Once we understand how undeserving we are and how much favor we’ve been
given, grace becomes shocking, thrilling, inspiring, and contagious."
This
comes from the back of the book, and I honestly can't describe the sentiments
in this book any better. Grace is often a scary concept. MacArthur does a
wonderful job of simplifying it and making it easily accessible to the common
man. This book is very short; I finished it in an afternoon. It’s not so deep
that you go under, but it goes hand in hand with real life. This was my first
experience with the ‘Truth About’ series that MacArthur has been putting out,
but it most definitely won’t be my last. I give this book a good 3.5 out of 5
stars.
*Warning. This book had a few parts that I found biblically
questionable. I am in the process of seeking answers in the Bible. Read with a
bit of caution!
