Grace: The Power to Reign
A powerful revolution is sweeping across the Church worldwide as Christians are discovering how to put the ‘amazing’ back into grace. But it has its critics. Some refer to it as ‘the hyper-grace movement’, referring to it as ‘cheap grace’, ‘greasy grace’, and say that grace is just a license sin. In Grace: The Power to Reign, Ken Legg expounds grace in its Biblical setting. He shows that far from it being a justification for sin or an excuse for laziness, it is the Christian's power to reign in life – both in the midst of our circumstances and over the power of sin.

Three reviews from our CALEB reviewers:
(1) In his latest book, Grace – the Power to Reign, Ken Legg emphasises God’s amazing grace which has often been hidden by religious legalism.
Occasionally, readers may differ with some aspects of the theology in Ken’s book but that should in no way detract from the overarching, all-important and transformational message of the book: grace comes through the finished work of the cross and a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Grace – the Power to Reign is an accessible easy read and should appeal to Christians of all denominations. Utterly invaluable for those who struggle with being able to receive the unconditional love, acceptance and amazing grace given us by our heavenly Father through His son Jesus Christ. DS
(2) In this book Ken Legg pulls apart the whole doctrine of ‘Grace’ and puts it together again in a way that is easy to understand. Put bluntly, he says ‘Don’t make the mistake of trying to ‘get the victory. Christ has already won the victory. It is finished.’
Ken Legg writes about God’s grace being for us to reign by his Grace in life. He explains how we need to understand the finality of the Cross and God’s righteousness before we can full live in Grace. He emphasizes the fact that when we are Christians that it is only by grace that we can live the Christian life.
This book is an exhaustive examination of what God’s grace means; how to understand it and live in victory through grace.
The book is clearly written and easy to grasp. There are many biblical references. I would recommend the book to both people in ministry and also to any other Christian interested in understanding more of God’s wonderful grace. LS

Pastor Ken Legg has attempted to address the confusion he perceives to abound in Christian circles about the nature of grace.
His slim volume, Grace: the Power to Reign, offers some good insights into the Biblical understanding of grace and he is keen to move readers away from legalism.
He makes a distinction between our identity as Christians in the ‘spirit’ and the unredeemed nature of the ‘body’. Unfortunately, his interpretation of 1 John 3:9 may be misconstrued, as it fails to consider the original Greek, which does not claim that a Christian cannot sin but that a Christian does not continue to sin.
His message is positive and uplifting and a springboard for further discussion of God’s truly, amazing grace. KL

From one century to the next, Christian doctrine tends to swing from one extreme to the other. As one era rediscovers a truth hidden in the previous one, the pendulum principle is apt to result in a strong push in the opposite direction. As Ken Legg points out, the teaching about grace is not exempt from this danger.
Grace: The Power to Reign strives for a balanced approach to this profoundly-important topic. It looks at the approaches many current teachers are using:
(1) Some teach deficiency
(2) Some teach legalism
(3) Some teach passivity
Legg points out he identifies with the teacher who said he once suffered spiritual dyslexia when reading the verse, Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfil the lusts of the flesh. (Galatians 5:16) He read it back to front, placing the focus on the flesh, not on the Spirit. Legg wants readers to experience the grace revolution he has and to understand that, while it is not possible to lose salvation, it is possible to lose our heavenly inheritance - and thus our ability to reign with Him.
Personal note: I really appreciated one paragraph in this book because it helped add to my catalogue of 'seventeens' in Scripture. Legg notes that in Galatians 5, there are seventeen different aspects of the flesh listed in the NKJV.

This is an interesting read for anyone acquainted with the gospel of Grace and answers some of those pertinent questions that follow the preaching of the Gospel. In this book Ken Legg packs a punch and once again demonstrates that the Gospel of Grace is really the Power of God unto salvation for everyone who believes.
