Great book: love the parable of the bicycle…gives greater understanding as to the gift of the atone

One of my favorite books…inspiring happy with the paperback edition.

Best book I've ever read!

I'm a recent convert and an avid reader of books. So I don't say "This is the best book I've ever read" very often. I read 4 books in the month before I converted (wanted to make sure this was the right decision). This one was recommended by a friend at church and it has changed my life. This book introduced me to the real Jesus Christ. I've heard about him my entire life. I've met people who love him beyond measure. I've met people who don't believe he ever existed. But I had never met anyone who could explain to me who he really was. I never really understood what he did, what he continues to do, what I should think of him or how he is supposed to fit into my life. If you truely seek to know Jesus Christ, READ THIS BOOK!

Ever wish you could start over again.....

This book will explain how to get rid of the baggage you carry around with you that keeps you depressed and feeling like a failure. It will change your mind and your heart and fill it with hope. Don't give up on life until you've read it. It's one of the most influential books you will ever read.

A Life Changing Book

I read this book at a time when the concept of the atonement was confusing. I was bothered (and would still be bothered now if I hadn't gotten the bigger picture from this book) by the "Holier-Than-Thou" attitude of a lot of members of the church. Stephen helped me understand the good news. There have been several tests in my life since then testing my testimony of the restored gospel, but I have passed through them all with confidence. No other book besides the Book of Mormon has changed my spiritual life and understanding other than Stephen's book. I highly recommend it.

Enlightening

Believing In Christ is one thing. Author Robinson shows how our belief is often tainted by self-doubt. Do we really believe that Christ, in His infinite atonement, reaches down and saves us from the consequences of our sins?Our efforts to keep the commandments, to be nice to others and be good don't "qualify" us for God's salvation. Only Jesus makes up the difference we could never repay. The miracle is that His grace has paid the price for all of us. The difference comes in our acceptance of His grace. This book is an inspiration to me. I hope you will find it valuable too.

A clear explanation of grace and the atonement of Christ.

I originally resisted reading this book, as I considered it to be a fad within the Mormon culture. However, upon reading this book, I found it to be an incredibly profound, encouraging, and uplifting work. Stephen E. Robinson explains clearly the concepts of salvation through grace; Christ's atonement; and our need not to be perfect, but just to be doing the best we can with what we are and what we have. It has helped me to believe Christ, not just believe in Him. I would recommend Believing Christ to readers of any faith
