Book Review: The Grace Awakening: Believing in Grace Is One Thing. Living It Is Another by Charles R. Swindoll
Four Stars
“[The] moralizing and legalizing of the Gospel of God’s grace is a dull heresy peddled to disappointed people who are angry because they have not received what they had no reason to expect.” Richard J. Neuhaus
A rousing call to replace the Pharisee-ism of modern Christianity with the freely-given grace of God. Easy to read and understand.
“Love that goes up is worship; Love that goes outward is affection; Love that stoops is grace.” Donald Barnhouse
Filled with short, pithy thoughts to break our religious bonds and free us to love God and our neighbor.
“[Jesus] is at your side. He is beginning to turn you into the same kind of thing as Himself. He is beginning, so to speak, to ‘inject’ His kind of life and thought … into you; beginning to turn the tin soldier into a live man. The part of you that does not like it is the part that is still tin.” C. S. Lewis
