SIMPLY by GRACE

(Kregel Publications, 2009)

Charles C. Bing

 

The subtitle is “An Introduction to God’s Life-Changing Gift.” This is exactly that: an introduction to the great subject of grace. This is a great introduction. It is reader friendly, profound yet simple, and easy to read. No heavy theological mambo-jumbo. It is a straight forward, book on Grace with remarkable clarity that anyone can understand. “Simply by Grace” sums up the heart of Christianity, salvation, and the Christian life. Grace is the answer to all our needs as sinners and believers. Simply by Grace is the summation of the work of God today.

The book is divided up into 13 chapters. They range from the Gift of Grace; the God of all Grace; Saved by Grace; Secured by Grace; etc., to Sharing the Gift (of grace). It is a study of the work of Grace from start to finish. No matter where you are in your life, how deep your understanding may be of the Word, you will find something in this book for you. It will speak to you and lead you to personal growth in grace, as well as a new appreciation of God and His grace. It also speaks of our responsibility in grace. It motivates and shows freedom and accountability in the grace life. It would make a good Sunday School or home Bible study book. Get it. Read it. You will enjoy it.
