Gain a biblical understanding of grace to discover the true freedom of living obediently.
“Amazing grace, how sweet the sound!” we sing… “For by grace you have been saved by faith!” we recite… “We live under grace!” we preach…
But do we really understand grace?
Grace has become a part of the basic vocabulary of every Christian. Unfortunately, many believers are abusing God’s amazing gift of grace. They have perverted God’s undeserved gift of forgiveness, making it a license for immorality, self-indulgence, and minimal involvement in God’s kingdom.
In the process they are robbing themselves of the joy that comes from obedience to God. In this provocative book, pastor and author Dr. Robert Jeffress challenges you to gain a biblical understanding of grace, and reveals how “good grace” can protect your marriage, church, and relationships from confusion and even abuse.
Start experiencing the true freedom of living obediently in God’s good grace. Discover Grace Gone Wild!

This was the best book I've read this year!!! I was looking for a book that would help me find that balance between extending grace toward others and yet not going soft on God's standards of holiness. THis book rocked my world!! It showed me how much of a legalist I can tend to be and yet how easily we can excuse God's standards through a misunderstanding of the word 'grace.' I would recommend it to anyone wanting to grow in holiness and in their love for others.
This book wasn't what I was expecting, but it was a good discussion of what "good grace" is as opposed to "bad grace" and how that applies in specific life situations. It wasn't new material for me, but for anyone who's been hurt by people espousing "bad grace" ideas, it would definitely be helpful for understanding grace as God communicates it in His Word, not as it is so easily distorted by men.
