Grace Vs. Faith Grace and Faith are often seen as opposing forces. Many of those who emphasize God's grace believe once we are saved, His blessings, (peace, healing, prosperity) are then distributed sovereignly as He wills. Many of those who emphasize faith believe that what we receive from God is up to us; our willingness to study the Word, pray and fast, attend church, and even pay our tithe all determine God's blessings in our lives. The real truth lies somewhere in between. Grace and faith are both essential ingredients in our walk with the Lord. However, emphasize either to the exclusion of the other and the imbalance will make it difficult to receive from God. This lack of understanding has led to much confusion, frustration, and disappointment in the Body of Christ. Internationally known Bible teacher, Andrew Wommack exposes many of the misconceptions that have led to these seemingly opposing views about grace and faith and teaches how you can receive from God by bringing them into balance. If you have been struggling in your relationship with God, or in understanding why your prayers seem unanswered, this book is for you.
Andrew began his ministry in 1972 and is the President and Founder of Andrew Wommack Ministries and Charis Bible College located in Colorado Springs. For four decades Andrew has been teaching the Word of God. His revelation is taught with clarity and simplicity, emphasizing God’s unconditional love and grace. His daily Gospel Truth radio and television programs are broadcast domestically and internationally.
He founded Charis Bible College in 1994 and has established 70+ extension colleges in major cities of America and around the world. Andrew has produced a library of teaching materials in print, audio, and visual formats.
Andrew biblically expounds the proper balance between grace and faith. Go too far in either direction (i.e., overemphasize one to the exclusion of the other) and you'll end up in a spiritual ditch.
This is a great starting book into this Christian topic. The writing could be a bit better but the importance reside in the message itself not the words used.
I don’t share everything written in this book but I would still rate it as 5 stars as I agree with the main points.
Great book and I’m planning to continue reading more books from Andrew Wommack.
Great explanation of how to live the Christian life, answering the question of what does God do and what do I do? If you’re unsatisfied with your Christian life, this book has the answer. Curious about what the Christian life is about? Read this book.
Some important truths to understand but he is very repetitive. I felt like the book could have been cut in half and still had all of the important information.
Pastor Andrew Wommack, thank you for your insightful teachings and revelations. Your words have given me a renewed perspective, and for that, I give you five big shining stars.
I have read a lot of books written by different religious leaders, pastors
ministers from all walks of life. But none helped me more then this book Living in the Balance of Grace and Faith by Andrew Wommack. It was easy to read and easy to understand. I searched the scriptures as I read to make sure it lined up with the word. I now know that without that balance of Grace (God's part ) and Faith (out part) your life tilts too far to the left or too far to the right. I plan to recommend this book to all my church brothers and sisters. Love this book.
Great message but poor book, i think. plus, i started reading this after hearing some of his free mp3 messages found on his site right heremy link text
apparently, this book is just a transcription of the audio. but the audio is far better, in my opinion.
like i said, the message is wonderful, and it's worth your time if you want to get the free audio, but the writing of the book is poor.
Great biblical truths. I love the teachings of Andrew Wommack. I have learned so much since watching his daily broadcasts and reading his books, things I never learned in church. I am encouraged to read the bible more and be led by the Holy Spirit. I can't believe I've missed out on this truth for so many years. There is a balance of grace and faith from God that every believer should know about and Andrew has done an excellent job of presenting this in his book.
Fantastic teaching by Andrew. The Christian life takes both grace (what God does) and faith (what we do), just as our salvation did. Faith is how receive all that God has for us. Andrew also touches on some other favorite teachings such as "Spirit, Soul and Body" and others that i've hear on his TV show. Highly recommend this book.
