Grace to you whose feet have traveled with intention into the valley of the shadow of death. Grace to you who live in the shadow of the mountain of failures that you have built by your own hands. Grace to you who have isolated yourselves from those who you once trusted. Grace to you who have destroyed the faith that many once placed in you. Grace to you who search with futility for fruit that has sprouted from seeds you planted in hard soil. Grace to you who have been misunderstood and betrayed by those who claim to love you most. Grace to you who have lost the faith to believe. Grace to you who have forsaken the call for the witness that you lost in a moment of weakness. Grace to you. God still believes in you. "Fallen from grace. Every time a prominent figure is involved in a scandal, this phrase gets tossed around like a declaration that balance has been restored to the universe and someone who rose beyond his or her proper place got humbled. If you’ve ever needed grace just to feel like you’re worthy to breathe again, this book will be life to you. If you’ve thought grace was merely God’s medicine for the morally sick, then put this book away until you find yourself broken on the wheels of living. You see, grace is not something you fall from but Someone you fall into." (Bill Vanderbush) Deep down, you know forgiveness is a good idea. So why is it so hard to forgive and be forgiven? In Reckless Grace, Bill Vanderbush and Brit Eaton unpack the theological and practical applications of God's reckless grace and invite you to be an active participant in releasing that same grace into an increasingly offense-filled world. In this collaborative work you'll A powerful, biblical case for receiving and releasing God's reckless grace. Practical steps to help you identify and overcome barriers to grace in your life. Meditations, activations, and invitations into a grace revolution in the body of Christ. If you struggle with offense and unforgiveness for others or for yourself, hear the good God is ready to obliterate your disbelief through a fresh revelation of His love. "God isn't reckless, but the way in which He extends grace defies reason. Scripture proves He initiates forgiveness even before we know to ask for it, without concern for Himself or the consequences of His actions. It's reckless and it's what we're called to as grace-filled believers." -Bill Vanderbush
Wow! This book is a treasure. Bill and Brit have captured the Father’s heart for His children and let it soar on full display here. Grace, between people, is often misunderstood as a work of great effort to physically suppress or mentally ignore some wound from another person or group. The real thing is beautiful, and as the authors put it: reckless. If you’ve ever struggled to forgive someone (or yourself) and grown weary through effort, this is a worthy read. I have a feeling this is a book I will be coming to for much needed practical perspective again and again. Highly recommended!
Reckless Grace is not just a book; it's a powerfully instrumental tool that will not only change your perception of God's grace but will cause you to embrace it in a whole new life altering way. As you read, prayerfully meditate on and learn from what God has to share through Bill you will begin to understand the revelation of what God's Reckless Grace truly means... and once you begin to unravel it you can't help but to embrace it, rest in it and ultimately want to give it away...God is so good! This book will both wreck you and restore you in such a profoundly beautiful way that you will never be the same! I truly recommend that anyone and everyone should read this book....the heart of the Father is calling out for us to hear, understand, embrace and release his grace....and this is a good place to start that journey!
Wow! Just finished reading this. So powerful. Not only does this book look at the transforming work of God’s grace for us, but it challenges us to see God’s grace move through us. The church needs to grasp this message. Highly recommend letting this message impact your life.
