...and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.

Grace: More Than We Deserve, Greater Than We Can Imagine

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.
