Outline Review
Mention the word "grace" and what immediately comes to mind for most of us is a bagpipe wailing the solemn notes of "Amazing Grace." The grace of which Philip Yancey writes is the freely given and unmerited favor and love of God. This grace seems a remote, almost sentimental concept, without a place in our lives or our society. It is a vague, slippery thing to us, probably because we seem to experience grace so rarely and have managed to leech the word of meaning. But Philip Yancey has set about to rescue grace in his book What's So Amazing About Grace? This grace is the true message of Jesus. All faiths have virtues and creeds and justice and truth, but Jesus speaks merely of receiving the love that God has for us. Accepting it, not earning it or making ourselves worthy of it. And frankly, accepting something we have not earned or are not worthy of is not an easy thing for most of us. In truth, grace is both utterly simple and utterly confounding. Little by little, Yancey guides us into a clearer understanding of grace by using stories, in much the same way Jesus did. We read stories of both grace and ungrace at work in people's lives. Sadly, it is stories of ungrace that are more prevalent today, the current culture wars painful acknowledgments of ungrace in our lives as Christians in this country. Yancey helps us understand that ungrace is that state of being in which self-righteousness and pride are a result of thinking that we have somehow earned God's approval and may now stand in judgment in his behalf. Philip Yancey was awarded the Gold Medallion Christian Book of the Year award for this book in 1998 by the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association. Readers concurred with this decision, making this book an immediate bestseller. Believers and nonbelievers alike should accept Yancey's challenge to become agents of grace rather than agents of vengeance or judgment or anger. In truth, we are each starving for grace, ready to grasp it tightly. And it is through grace that all other hungers--for justice, for righteousness, for love--are satisfied. Yancey opens his book by telling us that "grace" is the last best word, and in What's So Amazing About Grace?, he proves that he's right. --Patricia Klein

 | What the world needs now.... May 15, 2010 |
| Of all the books I've read on Christian topics, this is the best written. Philip Yancey captured my heart and renewed my purpose. I was sorry to finish it and have recommended it to many others, who feel the same way. | | | | What's so amazing abouat Grace. Apr 29, 2010 |
| A very good read, thought provoking and illuminating. Highly recommend it to serious minded believers. | | | | This book is like your favorite dessert - warm and delightful Apr 15, 2010 |
I read this book years ago, but when I reread it again recently, it was even more delightful than I remembered. I gave a copy to a friend, who liked it so well that she gave it to another friend. Then I ordered more and gave away more to more people who liked them so well, they gave them to others.
It is one of the best, very best, books I've read in a long time.
Many of us have had the experience where one book reminded us of another book. There is no other book that is similar to this or would replace this book. It is eyeopening into a whole different world. It is like your favorite dessert - warm and delightful. We recommend it highly! | | | | Fantastic Mar 8, 2010 |
| This is possibly the best book ever written. It's pretty much written by someone who is willing to look past mistakes, and look to the real center, or the heart of what's important.. It's amazing. A definate book to read and share with friends and family. "You can't do anything to make God love you more. You can't do anything to make God love you less..." This book might teach a little about allowing yourself love, which is what we all need. | | | | Amazing Book Mar 2, 2010 |
Philip Yancey's book, What's So Amazing About Grace? is a classic, but it's always good to revisit the classics. Plus, I'd never read the book and I love Philip Yancey.
The book is captured perfectly in Yancey's style, never hard to read, yet never dumbed down one single bit. Yancey knows how to approach a subject with an air of humility and confidence at the same time.
The book is filled with stories of grace on earth, something that is difficult to find, but not as hard as you'd think, once you start looking. A large majority of the text is spent dealing with the odd nature of forgiveness and what it means to mankind. Yancey uses stories to move the book along, but interjects thoughts between these stories that eloquently illustrate our own ideas.
This is a great book that should be read by everyone who wants to love their fellow man. | | | Write your own review about Bktrax-Disc-What So Amazing About Grace(Unab)(9CD)
