The Grace of God by Andy Stanley

WOW!  What an awesome book!  We all love it  when someone extends grace to us but this book really opened my eyes to how I should be extending grace to others.  It's hard when you see so much injustice in the world but when Andy Stanley takes well known stories from the Bible and shows you just how much grace God gives, well, it really made me take stock of my own life.  Really, how much grace to I extend to that guy down the road who just got out of prison?  How much grace to I show to that person who really hurt me by what they said?  Andy Stanley takes these biblical events and explains them in a new light.  Grace, how much God loves each and every one of us who are so undeserving.  I highly recommend this book to all my friends.  We are told that as Christians we should strive to live a life worthy of Jesus Christ.  Well, this book will open your eyes to an area where I know that I've been lacking in.  Grace, I am so undeserving but God continues to bless me every day!
