Grace was a very easy read and, as usual, Max's words pierced right through to my heart. I've been a Christian for 20 years and still haven't captured the meaning and / or the significance of GRACE.
It's not just about God's grace towards us. It's about our grace towards others. It's about forgiving AND forgetting. It's about giving to someone what they don't deserve and ACCEPTING God's free gift of grace that He gives to us.
Grace, unfortunately, is thrown around as somewhat of a 'catch' word in the Christian world today. Most of us, myself included, aren't getting it. We aren't grasping the true meaning of the word 'grace'.
Jesus.. the Son of God.. the Creator of the universe.. the ONE so worthy of our praise and adoration stooped down. He came down to the level of sinners to show them forgiveness.. to show them understanding.. to heal them... to show us grace.
I am inspired by this book to live my life differently... to breathe in God's grace like the oxygen I need to survive. I am inspired to find the positive in everything and the mercy of God in the smallest of gestures.
I truly enjoyed this book. Again, I'm somewhat biased as I LOVE anything written by Max Lucado. He has a gift from God and writes with words that pierce right through to our souls.
I will read this book again and again.
