What's So Amazing about Grace?

by Philip Yancey

Book Overview

In 1987, an IRA bomb buried Gordon Wilson and his twenty-year-old daughter beneath five feet of rubble. Gordon alone survived. And forgave. He said of the bombers, " I have lost my daughter, but I bear no grudge . . . I shall pray, tonight and every night, that God will forgive them." His words caught the media's ears -- and out of one man's grief, the world got a glimpse of grace. Grace is the church's great distinctive. It's the one thing the world...

Customer Reviews

Was not "Like New" as seller described

Was rated "Like New" but had underlining and dog-eared corners throughout. Bought this to give as a gift, but cannot possibly give this away. Very upset.

Book that can change your life - be prepared to think deeply

This is an incredible book for Christians. It will cause you to examine your thoughts and actions toward Christians and non-Christians alike. You owe it to yourself to read this book.

Examine your life.

As I read this book I have had to stop many times and find a highlighter. It contains many "nuggets" that I want to remember and share with others. It has caused me to think deeply about my own life and actions toward others and examine how I love, and how I show and receive grace in my own life. If you want a book that will cause you to really examine how you think , act and feel about grace, this is the book! If, like me you have never thought deeply about the wonder of grace you should! You owe it to yourself and to God to consider the grace He bestowed on all of us through the life, death, and ressurection of Jesus Christ.

love it... and i hate christian books!

Famous criminal trials, international disasters, the world wars, heros and villans we all know of, bums on the street-- what does grace really mean today? what does it looks like? this book answers those questions in the most humble and powerful ways. visually, intellectually, and emotionally stimulating so you can't put it down. Yancey puts the core message of the Bible into today's context not by droning on philosophically -- but by unassumingly presenting examples of grace today. God's grace as well as interpersonal grace. i have no problem giving this book to anyone interested in or partaking in God's grace. it is truly fantastic literature.

Beautifully designed book with an intense message

I can't say enough about Phillip Yancey; I love his work. And I certainly thought that nothing could be better than What's So Amazing About Grace. But then I picked up the visual edition and it BLEW my mind. It hits every sensory organ ... I cried the first time I put these words and pictures together in my mind.

La verdad de la Gracia de Dios aùn nos cuesta digerirla

Desde C.S. Lewis no habia leido tan buen escritor como Yancey, es un hombre valiente y pragmático, me gusta porque se toma su tiempo y riesgo para exponer un tema tan importante como la gracia de Dios, pero que debiera ser reflejada tal cual es a travès de los hijos de Dios.Querido lector, si a usted le gusta verse a si mismo y reflexionar acerca de su vida y hacia donde se dirige de manera sistematica y constantemente, debe procurar leer este libro, este libro es una joya, para aquellos que nos interesa encontrarnos con la voluntad de Dios.Quiero advertir que este libro desnuda a la iglesia de hoy y el lector que quiera descubrir en sus pàginas algo relevante quedara sorprendo por la sencilles de las apresiaciones de Yancey.
