Grace: More Than We Deserve, Greater Than We Can Imagine by Max Lucado
We strive to be forgiven, to be good enough, to do enough,
to earn our way into Heaven by a resume of all our time spent working to be
welcomed. In the end, it leaves us drained and depraved of energy, of joy and
hope. We’ve been looking in all the wrong places to give us our satisfaction.
What we need, as Max Lucado points out in his book I reviewed on Booksneeze®,
Grace: More Than We Deserve, Greater Than We Can Imagine, has already been
given to us by a gracious God. And in that adjective lies the focus of the
story- grace.
Always a fan of Lucado’s books, when I saw Grace available to
read and review, my fingers couldn’t click the button to choose this one fast
enough. From the first page until the last, I happily reveled in Lucado’s typical
lyrical, story-like language, with the gospel truth efficiently relayed in a straightforward
way that brought to life for the reader what exactly this whole grace thing is
all about. Broken into chapters, each starts with a scripture verse, quote and
passage that appears in that chapter. Lucado’s voice is lively and vivid and
puts the immense concept of grace into ways we humans can manage to understand
and soak in. God’s voice is heard in his words, and he did not disappointed on
his latest book. I would
enthusiastically recommend Grace to anyone who wants to dive a little deeper
into the depths of God.
