The Grace of God by Andy Stanley
If you haven’t guessed by the title, this book is on grace.
The book approaches God’s grace from stories in the Old and New Testament to
show God’s grace. It gives the paradigm of how we all want grace, but it is
harder to give than to receive. It gives hope and faith through grace.
I’ll be candid; I’m a huge fan of Andy Stanley. I love his
speaking, his sermon series, etc. If he made furniture, I would think about
buying it. All that to say; I’ll try to be as unbiased as possible in this
review.
The book does well in that you get the humor and personal
stories that Andy Stanley is known for, but you get the biblical teaching and
example that backs everything up. Chapter by chapter he uses the illustration
of another story in the bible to show God’s grace and gives the ability to
apply it to your life.
Is it the best book I’ve ever read? No. Is it a good book to
read? Yes. If you want a straight forward, biblical approach to the history and
relevance of giving and getting grace, pick up the book.
Cheers!
