Grace: The Power to Change

by James B. Richards

Book Overview

There are many things that we all believe yet do not experience. We all want victory, yet few find it. One of our greatest frustrations is that much of what we believe really doesn't work. Too often we spend our lives struggling with the same issues. The feeling of defeat can be agonizing.
It is as if we are caught in a maze of formulas and rules. We know there's something missing, but we're not sure what. In our search for truth, we lose our...

From mediocre Christianity to High Definition living

My life I would say has literally changed after reading this book. One time reading is not enough. We need to sit with this book and the Bible and go hand in hand. I have stopped laboring for God after I read it. Now I am at peace and rest. Because Christ has completed the work. I don't have to conquer any sins anymore, because he accomplished his mission on the cross. All I have to do is to say to myself Christ has finished the work. He has stripped Satan of all his powers and gained victory. Even death couldn't defeat him. Now I have the same victory too, where all evil is under my feet through Christ. As the book says where man's strength ends, God's strength begins. MUST READ!

Excellent Book

This is the best book I have ever read second only to the Bible. I couldn't put it down. Dr. Richards explained so many things that had been frustrating me in my relationship with God. This book goes directly against much of the religious and traditional teaching of the church that is keeping people from experiencing a real relationship with God. My life will literally never be the same. WOW!

The Gospel

I have been searching for the truth now with all that I am for several years, and I believe that this book comes the closest I've found so far to presenting a totally scriptural Gospel, that is neither based on "cheap grace" or a legalistic grace negating self-righteousness. This book is very intensive on the Word, with few anecdotes, or personal notes, and its aim is to get you to fully believe and trust God's grace in every area of your life, and believe that that grace will change you and empower you to live the Christian life you've wanted to live since you got saved but couldn't. God bless your search for Him and His Kingdom!!

Tired of performing for God?

In this book, Jim Richards graphically spells out the message of God's uncondtional love and acceptance of mankind... not just the believer. This book is challenging and insightful into tearing down the myths of legalism and right standing with God. Grace is God's ability and power to change... And in this book, Dr. Richards helps the reader understand, perhaps for the first time, how to truly make God's grace come alive in our everyday life. A must read for anyone searching for the truth about the nature of God!
