Publisher's summary

OVER TWO MILLION COPIES SOLD!

It's the most powerful force in the universe, our only hope for love and forgiveness, and a foretaste of eternal life: amazing, radical, life-changing grace.

Millions of lives have been changed by award-winning author Philip Yancey's startling exploration of grace at street level. Grace is the one thing the world can't duplicate, the healing force we need, and the key to transforming a broken world.

In this revised and updated edition of his personal and provocative book, Yancey offers true portraits of grace's life-changing power. These stories, set in the midst of life's stark realities, evoke such questions as:

  • If grace is God's love for the undeserving, how do I get it?
  • How well are we dispensing grace to a world that knows far more of strife and unforgiveness than it does of mercy?
  • Can grace make a difference in the midst of such atrocities as the Nazi holocaust, and how can it withstand the brutality of hate?

With powerful stories, rich theology, and practical suggestions, Yancey challenges us to become living answers to a world that desperately needs to know, What's So Amazing About Grace?

Reflection questions are included in the audiobook companion PDF download.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Thought provoking

Enjoyed the book a 2nd time, having read the original 25 years ago. I think Yancey needs to make a clearer distinction between how a meritocracy must work and God's kingdom of grace. Accountability is necessary in our society if it is to "work." Not all need the threat of being fired to do their best., but some do.

I found the reader's cadence to be annoyingly repetitive and would fire him :-)

Life stirring message

Incredible. Yanceys classic from 25 years ago, is as relevant now, if not more, then it was when first written.

Gravity & Grace are two pillars on which all of creation depends upon. We would not exist without either of them.

I liked this book because it is seasoned with reason, real life stories, and abundant examples of God's grace throughout the history of man.

Stories were riveting

Stories and bottom line were great- performance felt like more of a new anchor than a storyteller

Amazing!

This book opened my eyes to a new way of thinking about the difference between Christianity and other religions. It is well worth the read.

Hope found

Yancey tells many touching stories of grace. I had read the book when it came out a long time ago and am glad I revisited it in its updated version now. It's still powerful and there are new stories and insights mixed in with the prior ones. It flows as one. The narrator is very good also.
