ABOUT THE BOOK: Grace. It s a word we all love to hear, but do we really know what it means? Without it, our lives are dry and dusty, but when grace comes, it transforms our lives into something rich and beautiful. With remarkable insight gleaned from his own life, Pastor Chuck Smith unfolds the mystery of grace and reveals the surprising truth: We can never grow in grace by our own efforts. True grace flows from the heart of the Father through the love of Jesus Christ. To know that God is for you, and that He loves you, is the greatest source of security you will ever know. That is grace and that is what makes life worth living.
Chuck Smith is the senior pastor at the 30,000 member congregation at Calvary Chapel, in Costa Mesa, California. From this church there has grown over 1,000 affiliated churches throughout the world, with membership of over 1,000,000. In his book, "Why Grace Changes Everything," Chuck describes, in his typical down to earth approach, the unmerited gift of God to all who ask, called "Grace."
Grace is defined (Biblically) in easily understood terms, and how it applies to each of us, with straight forward explanations. The benefits of "Grace" are incredible, but as Chuck explains, it is free and readily available, yet very misunderstood. This book is easy reading, over a cup of coffee with friends, next to a fire place on a rainy day, or on your lunch hour (the respite from a hectic day). It reveals something needed by all, but does not require a MasterCard or Visa. It can be read by teens, with peer pressures, married couples on the brink of divorce, men and women in the twilight of their lives; it will bring hope and contentment to all. There is someone who loves us and cares for us, in spite of what we do, in spite of who or what we are and He has a gift for you and me, it's free, it's "Grace." The best and most needful reading experience you can have, "Why Grace Changes Everything," By Chuck Smith.
