I have read several excellent books on the grace of God and Max Lucado's "Grace: More Than We Deserve-Greater Than We Imagine" is one of them. I love reading about God's wonderful grace and if it were possible, I would read every book written on the subject! In everyone I have read, I always come away with either something new or a different way of thinking about grace.
Max Lucado received much praise for this book from several well known authors and that's not surprising. Max is a is a very talented and prolific writer. He writes like he is carrying on a conversation with the reader which makes it really difficult to put the book down.
Max's book is comprised of 11 chapters and a conclusion. Following the conclusion is a Reader's Guide with sections for each chapter of the book and questions for the reader to answer. Every chapter is worth reading, and it's hard to say what my favorite chapters are because they're all good and hold your interest. He has such a beautiful way of putting words together. An example I really love is: "Let grace happen, for heaven's sake. No more performing for God, no more clamoring after God. Of all the things you must earn in life, God's unending affection is not one of them. You have it. Stretch yourself out in the hammock of grace. You can rest now", which comes from page 49 of chapter four.
Max makes God's grace so easy to understand. It's like he's talking to a friend. I highly recommend that everyone read this book, whether you are a new Christian or a seasoned one and especially if you are not, yet, a Christian and are seeking God. It's not a book you'll soon forget.
I received this book free from the Thomas Nelson Booksneeze review program in exchange for my honest review of the book.
