I had originally conceived a book called What’s So Amazing About Grace and Why Don’t Christians Show More of It? in order to speak to the growing enchantment of American Christians with right-wing politics.  Christians were becoming known mainly for what they were against: pornography, homosexuality, abortion, etc.  That disturbed me, as I see grace as one of the great, often untapped, powers of the universe that God has asked us to set loose.

As I wrote, the book became less about politics and society, and more about the wonders of God’s grace and how it can transform individuals, families, and even nations, revealing the universal themes of hope and redemption.

Now, twenty-five years later, we need this message more than ever, in a world hungry for meaning and restoration.   The revised and updated  edition contains fresh material, including a new preface, current anecdotes, and cultural insights for our fast-changing times, along with a carefully crafted reflection guide that individuals or groups can use to apply “amazing grace” to their own lives.     (Zondervan, 2023)

The brand new “Revised and Updated” edition is available now.
