Summer Reading 2

Grace – Amazing Grace by Brian Edwards, Day One Publications, 2003
Normally £10 but at IPC - £8

“Grace is a many-splendoured thing. In this book, Brian Edwards takes the topic of grace and explains and illustrates many aspects of it in God at work in the lives of men and women. My mother and I enjoyed reading this together over a number of months and were sorry to finish it!

Edwards is a popular author, with a great sweep of both historical and up-to-date illustration of his themes and the lives of two great heroes of the faith crop up throughout – the apostle Paul and John Newton.

It is impossible to list all the aspects of grace he deals with, but from 16 chapters these are a few – universal grace (the term he prefers over common grace), forgiving grace, community grace, ultimate grace. Just try chapter one, and you’ll be hooked! This is a book which left us praising God and to which we intend to return.”
