This is certainly something to strive for - realizing and understanding the purpose of God's Grace - in other for one to have a life filled with enduring peace of mind. Well said.

That one thing for me is to give out the grace that I have also received. I am learning to be stronger on the knowledge of things that I have know before.
Don't say it's Impossible if you haven't given it a try.

I believe that the book's lesson is simple: the same lesson that God wants all of us to learn. This lesson is that He loves us. He loved us before, during and after birth, and will love us forever after we die. The same concept of Him engraving our names into the palm of His hand applies here: we may forget that He loves us, but He never does.

I basically mastered the art of prayer; seeking God at all times. I learnt that seeking Him is not in forming a habit of reciting few memorised lines in the Bible, but in building a solid relationship with Him, one which is not influenced by the challenges that we encounter in our lives.

I believe that too. Maybe this book is just a good reminder as we often forget about it.

That is certainly something to strive to. Especially, "building a solid relationship with Him, one which is not influenced by the challenges that we encounter in our lives." which is not an easy feat. So good for you. I wish to achieve that too.

The book taught me that the God's grace is sufficient in all circumstances. I have also realised that to serve God is to love one another; this is revealed by turning grace to others...

Rising for the salvation of others should be business as the son of God. It's great to know once more through this novel to always have the mindset of helping others.

I hope you enjoy it. My advice is to pace yourself with it and not to read it in one sitting. It can be quite overwhelming and it has many emotional topics so take your time.

I really like this. I think we all face challenges in life that seem to be more than any one person can possibly handle, but when we realise that we aren't alone during a crisis, it becomes easier to have faith.

I have learned to place my complete trust in God. I believe that he never gives me bigger problems than my ability to handle them. And he is also there for me to lead me in the right direction.

This book made me understand that God never gives up on us, no matter how we push him away, knowingly or unknowingly, his grace and undying love is ever sufficient. Such a comforting book to read.

The book really affirms that, God's grace really is sufficient. Whatever one is going through, His grace will see them through.

This book made me understand that God's grace is always available and sufficient for all. Just talk to him.
