A must read for Christians today

A clearer understanding of what God's grace can do. No longer do we need to struggle with "works" or "legalism" from a religious standpoint. Our Lord has done the work and provided the key to our freedom in Christ. I used this book for bible college and as a gift. It is an easy read and should be a part of every Christian's library!

One of My Favorite Christian Books

I recently purchased 3 copies of this book to give to friends as it is one of my favorites. I plan to buy more and have read my hardbound copy many times. Pastor Smith has a very readable writing style that is not pedantic at all. He explains his own struggles with legalism before he came into a full understanding of God's grace. It is Biblically-based and easy to understand. A good introduction to Christianity for your nonbelieving friends; one of my nonChristian friends read the entire book. What I particularly love about this book is how it speaks to your heart. This is not a religious tome, but one man speaking to you about God's love and grace. However, he represents the full personality of God, for a person cannot comprehend God's great mercy without understanding our need for redemption. We should always pray before reading spiritual messages, but if you believe you are struggling with legalism, this book will help free you.

Excellent eye opener on the subject of grace.

I have been in counseling for a few months because of struggling with past hurts. I borrowed this book from a friend and it came at just the right time. I was amazed that God loved me unconditionally. I had always been taught that if you "lived right" the Lord would love you. Amazingly enough He loves me even when I mess up. I am very disappointed that the book is out of print. I wanted my very own copy.

Hope is why we survive, where do we find hope?

The world today can be a very dismal quagmire of lost dreams, well meaning decisions gone wrong, hurt and disaster, but through all this there is hope. Chuck Smith is the senior pastor at the 30,000 member congregation at Calvary Chapel, in Costa Mesa, California. From this church have 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 staight 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, inspite of what we do, inspite 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.
