 Not What I Expected... January 1, 2009
I had been looking for a book that really explained (as much as one could) grace. This book is more of a history book on Grace. Talking about Germany, the Nazis and different other countries and the past and how grace made things better. No offense, I think it's a great book if you're looking for that kind of thing but I was looking for something to read that I can apply right now. Not something analyzing the past as much as this book did. It was... ok. I don't see how others felt it was a "must read" of a lifetime. Either way, it was uplifting. Just not the way I expected it to be.
 What's So Amazing About Grace October 9, 2008
Two different groups in a church are using this as a study and have found that the author's teaching method of using stories is particularly helpful for members to challenge their ideas and lifestyle in the difficult areas connected with grace such as forgiveness.
Grace for us all August 23, 2008
Phillip Yancey's book "What's So Amazing About Grace?" is filled with both deep spirituality and practical steps we can each take to better express God's grace.[[ASIN:0310273625 What's So Amazing About Grace?] An excellent guide for today's thinkers and doers.

I just read the first chapters but this book has really touched me inside. The gospel is not a story about how to go to heaven or how to avoid hell. The gospel is the most beautiful love story ever told, about how God, being God, denied himself everything for our sake. And now, being totally acepted in Him, we are not left with the rest of our time on Earth to only daydream about heaven, but to enjoy the privilege and happyness of sharing God's love and grace with one another in this world. God does not want us to pay Him something back, He has everything He needs, He want us living close to Him, enjoying His company, His love, His grace, happy to be with Him and being a channel of His love and grace to the people around us.

Aside from the Bible, this is the best book I have ever read. This is a life-changing book about a life-changing subject. I find Philip Yancey to be a tremendous communicator. Since reading this book, I have bought and given away as gifts at least 7 copies of this book.
