Captured By Grace: No One is Beyond the Reach of a Loving God

"Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me
  I once was lost, but now am found - was blind but now I see."

    Dr. David Jeremiah uses powerful and personal images to illustrate the grace of God and how we can experience that grace in our personal lives.  One of the clearest examples is the love of the 'prodigal' father ('prodigal meaning abundant, lavish, giving) as he receives his wayward and undeserving son back into the family.  What a definitive picture of the amazing grace of our Heavenly Father!!

    The reader is cautioned about 'cheap grace' and our human tendency for self-delusion regarding personal sin.  The gift of grace  is free but changes may come slowly.
The wonderful thing is that with God's grace, we can walk through any trial imaginable sustained by the amazing grace of God.

    Each chapter closes with "Moments of Grace", presenting  a challenge to each reader..... a 'now what?', so to speak.  Without this aspect, one could read the chapter, think about it and go on with life as usual.  Not so, if one takes the challenge seriously.

    I plan to re-study this book as I seek to walk in God's amazing grace!
