GRACE: WHAT IS IT?: Its Glory and Mystery As It Really Is: An Ontological Picture
Description of the
A theological treatise of the Grace of God with evidence of how it comes to us.

This book opens up the subject of the Grace of God differently to most other books on this topic. It reveals the theology of Grace throughout the Scriptures with explicit text references. It also demonstrates the reality of the Grace of God in two people's lives —John Bunyan and John Newton—making the theology well grounded in people’s lives. The book describes the whole gamut of Grace as revealed by God. This is important especially at this time in Christendom, as there is a real dearth of true Grace-teaching in much of the world today.
Many years ago, Dietrich Bonhoeffer warned the Church in his book ‘Cost of Discipleship’, about cheap grace. If we bring a cheap grace to our people that costs God nothing, and is no cost to our humanity, then grace will dissipate from our midst. The result today is that many kinds of works-efforts and programs within the modern Church adulterate and water down God’s true grace from our presence. There is this lack, and in very few instances can we enter a church and be truly faced up with Grace.
Hopefully, as we read this book, we will be enabled to acknowledge that ‘Grace’ is absolutely the greatest and most important subject and theological doctrine of the whole Bible as the Word of God. Many people tend to have a number of ‘pet’ subjects they hold as ‘key’ issues of their Gospel of Salvation. But none, it seems, is as important or as life-changing as the doctrine of Grace! And sadly, none is as misused and abused within the Church as this single, glorious doctrine.
This book is for Ministers and Christian leaders, but is also important and relevant for lay folk. The topic is vital, and it can be understood by all who truly want to receive God's Grace.
