Discovering Grace

If you are looking for a well-written, personal journey to discovering confidence in your salvation, read this book! FLAME tells his journey from charismatic evangelicalism to Lutheranism. In that journey, he discovers how God Works and the confidence we gain in knowing that it is His work, not ours, which assures us of salvation. This book is easy to read, engaging, and full of theological truths.

saved by Christ's work

Engaging read (I read in under 2 hours) that chronicles FLAME's journey from Charismatic and Reformed Theology to the Lutheran Church. As someone raised Lutheran from birth (or womb :), I always find it interesting learning about what other denominations believe. FLAME includes a balance of his own experiences, lyrics from his songs, Scripture citations and references to other Lutheran works. Thanks be to GOD that our salvation comes extra nos (outside of ourselves), entirely from God who then enables us to live out our faith in service to neighbor.
