God in you and for you

As a fairly new Christian who was raised in a very legalistic and works-based religious environment, this book has been one of several fresh breaths of air for me. Mr. Dudley is a gifted author who illuminates the principles of grace in a way that will transform you, especially if you share my religious background. Mixing humor with common sense evaluations of human nature, he explains very simply and clearly how grace works from the inside out. His theology is sound, his doctrine is biblical, and he doesn't fall into the trap of excusing sin for the sake of grace. He holds to a high standard of Christian living, but explains that we have to cooperate with God in order for Him to direct our lives by trusting in His goodness, not our own. Quite funny anecdotes and kind, yet pointed advice make this a great primer for those who are frustrated with trying to improve themselves, by themselves. Dudley says "sit down inside" and let God take over.

Grace Does Work!

We have been buying this book for years now and keep giving it away to others. Dudley Hall explains the non-religious Grace of God in a way that is inspiring as well as humorous.

Excellent Book about Grace

Dudley Hall does a masterful job in showing how believers can be rescued from empty, dead religion. He shows that striving to please God is not the answer. This view, he argues, leaves one with a religion that breeds discontentment. What God offers, he declares, is grace. This is what truly transforms! He does a great job citing biblical examples of the grace of God. This is a very readable resource that is hard to put down.

I believe that the book will become a classic on Grace.

One of the best books that I've read on Grace. The author has a gift in being able to put into understanding biblical truths that are not being taught today as they should. I found the book to be very informative and enjoyable. The knowledge of the author is appearant and informative. I really felt after reading the book that it was life changing.

A wellspring of hope for those weary of religion

If one is looking for an answer on how to get off the religious treadmill, this book is for you. Mr. Hall is a gifted speaker who sees beyond the surface issues and gets to the heart of the matter with Christianity. He challenges the reader to re-examine grace as the main emphasis of the Good News that God loves people and has done all He can to restore the relationship with sinful man. Many books are written to pass on information, but this volume is for your transformation.
