Putting a Face on Grace: Living a Life Worth Passing On

By Richard Blackaby

Book Overview

Complete the Cycle of Grace How sweet the sound-it saved a wretch like you. It's amazing. But has God's grace changed you? Is it changing others through you? Richard Blackaby explores what may be causing you to miss out on an abundant life of grace, and how simply knowing about it is a far cry from embracing a grace-filled lifestyle. Once you fully experience and grasp its essence, you can't help but "practice" God's undeserved favor by passing it on to everyone around you. Grace shares a close relationship with love, is never static, and is always searching for those willing to receive it. This book focuses on pointed and practical life application so that you can attain the power of gracious living today Let God's Grace Flow Through You God's grace is so boundless, so contrary to human nature, and so unconditionally given that you will never understand it... ...until you give it away. Get ready to be washed in pure joy, renewed by a fresh sense of gratitude for the rich, undeserved favor God continually bestows upon you. Dr. Richard Blackaby explores what it means to make God's grace a lifestyle and how it will become personal, practical, and recognizable in your life. You'll discover: What genuine grace is and what it is not The power of life words and the devastation of death words The secret to establishing a grace-filled home How to recognize grace-giving opportunities Ways to extend grace when you don't think you can Unable to deny His unconditional love, or even to keep it to yourself, soon grace will have a face. And the reflection in your mirror will tell its story. Amazing Grace, How Sweet the Sound It's a living, breathing testament to the depth of God's love. You don't deserve it, but you've got it. So, what are you doing with God's amazing grace? Many Christians sing of its sweet sound, but fail to extend it to others-missing the point entirely. Putting a Face on Grace provides practical ways you can become a conduit of God's grace to those around you. Dr. Richard Blackaby's personal stories will have you nodding in agreement, laughing with empathetic understanding, and eagerly embracing a new life worth passing on. You will become the essential element that keeps God's life-giving grace flowing. And if you think you're unworthy of such an honor, that's good. That's grace... Story Behind the Book Much has been said about God's grace. Observing it, defining it, soaking it in. But little has been said about bringing it full circle, to the point where we freely receive and give it on a daily basis. This is what lifestyle grace is all about. Richard Blackaby's book hits a market in need, and "reinvents" grace for us all-exploding our understanding of this tremendous gift and bringing it into a new, tangible dimension.

Putting a Face on Grace

This is one of the best books I have read in a long time. It is my plan to read it a second time, and this time I will be using a high-lighter on some of the many really good principles for successful living. My thanks to Richard Blackaby for letting God speak through him.

INSPIRATIONAL

This book reminds us that God has given us plenty of grace and we should share with others, not hoard it for ourselves while we cast judgement on everyone else. It is an easy read, written in a conversational style. I'd recommend it to anyone.

Life Changing!

My husband and I read this book together and it has changed my daily thoughts, feelings and actions. Every living person should read this book immediately.
