After a long afternoon conversation with my aunt we touched on the subject of grace and how it’s hard to come to terms with God and his forgiveness, or grace. She recommended this book to me and then surprised me one day by bringing it to me as a gift.

Once I got started reading I wanted to take my time to fully comprehend what I was reading and reflect. It was a very powerful book that encompasses everything one could think about, situations, and ideas where God’s grace could come into question, how it can help, bible verses to return to, and the author’s own personal experience.

After a slow start in reading, I found myself breezing through the pages while sitting with my dad at the hospital and found that to somehow be therapeutic reading about grace and forgiveness at a time when I knew I was going to be tested the most.

For anyone curious about God’s grace, and or are unsure of their own feelings, this a great book to start off with or even rekindle the relationship.

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0891096566, Paperback)

GRACE. IT'S NOT JUST FOR BEGINNERS.

Funny how the exceeding riches of God's grace seem to run out the moment we're saved. From then on, we tend to base our relationship with Him on our performance rather than on His grace.

Of course, God continues to deal with us on the basis of His grace, whether or not we understand it. It's just that when we don't, we forgo the abundant freedoms that come from not having to measure up.

The product of over 10 years of Bible study, Transforming Grace is a fountainhead of inspiration and renewal that will show you just how inexhaustible and generous God's grace really is-you'll never be able to ask for too much, need too much, hope for too much, or even sin too much. Like a never-ending stream of ocean waves crashing on the shore, His grace "superabounds" toward you without measure.

"This is an honest, gentle, searching book on a great theme by a wise teacher who knows what he is talking about. I highly recommend it."-J.I. Packer, author, speaker

"No truth is so needed and so misunderstood. Jerry Bridges opens our minds to the truth of grace. It is practical, biblical, and powerful-a refreshing release from guilt and legalism."-Jerry White, general director, The Navigators

"Jerry Bridges knows about the grace of God because he knows the God of grace. Transforming Grace is practical, pointed, and life-changing. I highly and heartily recommend it."-C. Samuel Storms, author, speaker, pastor

"In typical Bridges style, this book is a warm, encouraging, and insightful guide to godly living. It gets to the core of the biblical meaning of grace."-R.C. Sproul, chairman of the board, Ligonier Ministries

"Indeed, another inspired and powerful work by Jerry Bridges. Jerry brings us face to face with a reality we tend to forget-our own constant need for God's grace."-Charles Colson, chairman, Prison Fellowship
