teenagers LOVE it!:
I purchased several copies for the kids in our youth group. I told them they could have a copy on two conditions: 1)that they read it (it takes about 45 minutes to read) and 2) that they lend it to friends. ALL the books given our have been read, and shared. ALL of them said that it has changed the way that they look at their friends and the way they feel that God views them. One girl rated it a 15 on a scale from 1-10! I would share this book with anyone as it really describes God's heart!
What's So Amazing About Grace?:
"What's So Amazing About Grace: Visual Edition" can be read within hours, but digested for years. This edition of Philip Yancey's masterpiece is well-crafted and perfectly paced--its content appealing to sophisticated scholars but yet accessible to a much younger crowd. The images are very well matched with the message, and successfully emphasize the most poignant thoughts Yancey wishes to convey through the book. This creative edition will give you time to contemplate, alternating between text-filled pages and simple images. The editor did a fantastic job maintaining an overarching theme connecting the text with the inserted images. It will catch your attention, and keep it. This is a perfect gift for anyone who appreciates art, literature, philosophy, theology, or all of the above.
Life Changing:
I was given this book initially and it has completely changed the way I view God, grace, and forgiveness. Since then I bought the original book that inspired this visual edition, and it was great too. I bought more of these to give them out as Christmas gifts to family. I wanted to share what I had learned from it with everyone. I definitely recommend this book!
Greatest book I own, next to the Word of God!:
What is so amazing about Grace? God's Grace IS the most AMAZING THING! This is the only book that I give to everyone I can! If pictures are worth a thousand words, which I think they are, then this book is worth a couple of billion words!
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.
