Grace : more than we deserve, greater than we imagine

by Max Lucado    (Get the Book)
A woman critically injured and permanently disfigured by a frozen turkey hurled at the windshield of her car manages to forgive the youth who threw it. A physician stricken with a reaction to an AIDS vaccine is helped by a planeload of doctors. A dress-shop owner lets a nonpaying customer wear a wedding dress to the hospital room of her dying father. These are just a few examples of God's grace working through people, according to best-selling author Lucado. Grace, he insists, is available in quantities greater than we imagine and more than we deserve, if we only open our hearts. Often it is extended to us whether or not we deserve it. Lucado's latest provides comforting and inspirational revelations about grace and the phenomena of getting and giving amazing second chances through true stories, Bible passages, and quotes from famous writers and spiritual leaders. True grace, Lucado rightly insists, is grand both to give and receive. --Booklist
