A very good and challenging little book. It is an accessible introduction to this topic, full of stories and personal reflections. It is thoroughly biblical, Wesleyan, and practical.

[Dave · Rating 3 out of 5]

A simply written book for those wanting to know the questions of what, why, and how surrounding the means of grace.
This book bridges the vast gap between the Wesleyan/Methodist academy and the person sitting in the pew. This is Wesleyan theology made practical and simple.

Andrew does a tremendous job of walking you through the means of grace and giving practical ways to begin to incorporate them into your own spiritual journey.

A Superb Work on the Means of Grace!

I thoroughly enjoyed and greatly benefited from reading this book. It was an easy read, yet filled with many great truths that I feel would benefit anyone seeking a deeper walk with God and true transformation into the image of Christ in his or her life! A real blessing!

Andrew Thompson provides a foundational understanding of the means of grace, and how we can benefit from them in personal and corporate worship. I recommend it for anyone interested in topics related to discipleship from a Wesleyan point of view
