What’s so amazing about grace? - Phillip Yancey

Stout, short and pot-bellied, the bulldog of a man stood in front of 300 parishioners at an Adelaide church eight years ago, teary-eyed and waving a book. ‘If I could buy each of you a copy of this book, I would,’ he said. ‘It’s
changed my life.’ He needn’t have worried because many listening already owned it. That book was What’s So Amazing About Grace? When we first submit to Christ, we overwhelmingly accept his forgiveness, but over time
many of us doubt our salvation, fearing that the many sins we have committed since have estranged us from God. Phillip Yancey, a fellow journalist and Christian, dispels his - and our - notions of a “mathematical God
who weighed my good and bad deeds on a set of scales and always found me wanting” with the inescapable truth that we are completely forgiven by Christ. Forever. No ifs. No buts. No final score check. In turn, Yancey points out we must reflect God’s grace by forgiving others in our lives. This f ree-flowing book challenges readers to let go of their fears and pain, and accept whole-heartedly that “there is nothing we can do to make God love us less.”
