Product Description
Book Description
On the heels of Philip Yancey's best-selling "The Jesus I Never Knew" comes his equally important and tautological treatment of grace, the engine that powers Christian love and pushes evil away with forgiveness.

From the Publisher
This book will touch everyone at the core of their soul.
Philip says it best when he describes "grace" as the one unique word that distinguishes authentic Christianity throughout the ages. It's what I need every day; it's likely what you desire every day. Philip's book will prod us all to receive grace and dispense it. The results will surprise and delight us. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

"The biggest disease today is not leprosy or cancer. It's the feeling of being uncared for or unwanted, of being deserted and alone". ( Mother Theresa). This is exactly what author Phillip Yancey knows only too well, and thus addresses the issue head on. Throughout the book, he paints a picture of 'Grace on Tap' for those who feel guilty, lonely, forsaken, useless and failures. At the very centre of this art piece stands a God who does the illogical for those who have never experienced such love, and there is a clear challenge for those who claim to be followers of this God, to join Him in this cause.
This is an honest look at life, at our religious institutions, our relationships and our prejudices. It is a book that has brought hope to thousands that there is a cure for this great 'disease'. Read the stories, feel the heart ache, sense the love, and be inspired!

Format:Hardcover
As my review title suggests I had this book sitting on my shelf for ages. I had heard people rave about it, but that really put me of reading it because so often I am dissapointed by the quality and content of books that become "popular" amongst christians. I tend to find ( feel free to disagree ) that what appeals is the lowest common denominator.
However this is different.
Yancy tackles the issue of how we are to respond to others in the light of the way that God responds to us in a way which is both theologically deep and totally practical, encouraging us to see others through the eyes of a God who has forgiven us without demand.
It is a great book, and I challenge anyone to read it and not be changed in the way they think of being gracious towards others in the light of how God has been gracious towards them.
Enjoy

Yancey takes the concept of God's grace and 'earths it'. What does it mean to us...undeserved merit, and how do we 'reflect' it? This book is awesome, challenging, rivoting, and will change the way you think about things. If you're looking for one book - apart from the Bible - this is it!

What's so amazing about grace?
This book is a life changing read. It has a simple message - one from which we can all benefit. If we learned to show more grace,the world would be a much better place.

What a good question.........? Do I know the answer..?
Such a well known Hymn line. Never really thought deeply about it. I think that's why Yancey's book is so helpful because there is a freshness in it. Read more

Challenging!
I cannot say I agree with everything written in this book. It annoyed me quite a lot. And that was the point. It was God doing His work in a hardened, legalistic heart. Read more
