Nerea wrote: ↑01 May 2020, 01:08 This is a good piece that might encourage readers, especially those seeking spiritual comfort and enlightenment. The author defines Grace (also undeserved kindness), stating its importance. With conviction and supportive testimonies, the author explains how you can attain the undeserved kindness from God and how it can affect you as an individual.

My only problem is with some parts of the material where the author doesn’t provide a clear distinction between God and Jesus. At some point, he speaks of the two as one person and in other points as two different people. This might sound confusing for readers who are new to the divine teaching.

I like the Bible example of transformation incorporated in the material, which helps the reader to understand God’s undeserved kindness and know its purpose. Additionally, there are cited Bible verses addressed to specific readers, who are going through trials and are seeking comfort.

That said, I rate the book at [/b]3 out of 4 stars[/b]. I feel like some teachings in the material need a better explanation. There are some that I don’t agree with, like, how God views us as individuals and the lack of a clear distinction between God and Jesus.

The book will impress Christians or any reader looking for some good spiritual refreshments.
As a Christian, I was taught at a young age that God is one in three persons. The spirit of life, the Son of Man and the continuous creation of the Father.

Majority believe that, but what does the Bible teach? In 1 John 5:5 says that Jesus is the Son of God, and anyone who believe that he is the Son of God has conquered the world. Meaning Jesus and God are two different people. (other references John 17:3, Matthew 24:36)
On the other hand, the Holy spirit is God's active force that God uses to carryout His will anytime anywhere. (Luke 11:13 and Romans 15:13,19)

Although it is written from a Christian perspective, this book carries so much weight when it comes to assisting with real emotional baggage, anxiety, stress and depression.

The writing style is superb. Easy to understand and relatable short stories.

I loved this book because of the inspiration I got from it. It came at a time where I needed it in my personal life. Sometimes all you need is an uplifting message. I would give it a 4 out of 4 stars.

In a world full of tragic happenings, these kind of books do come handy. The fact that the book is all about Grace, undeserved kindness, it would not do any harm to just read and may be get help with anxiety. Learning about a gracious God who wants nothing but the best for his children will indeed go a long way in healing hearts that are bleeding from life's happenings.

I will indeed be reading this book.

Experiencing crisis,
Receiving grace, and
Returning grace to others.

They really encourage me on my spiritual journey. A journey that I mostly feel like giving up when faced with challenges. Grace revealed is a companion on a Christian journey and I feel that it has a lot to contribute to the Christian family. Reading the sample of the book, I get sense of being a "wounded healer" as a Christian.

I will rate this book 3 out of 4 Stars because I have not read the entire book. I only read the sample on Kindle and did not notice any error or profanity. Looking forward to reading the entire book in the nearest future.

I second to this. as a Christian, I feel these book will give me a deeper understanding on God and his grace.

And I can attest that if the reader decided to try it as an audio version. That that is a great choice too. The audio book is really done well.

This is amazing. Glad that this could help you. I really think this was a great choice for BOTM during these times we are living in but also who doesn't need a little bit reminder of God's Grace every once and awhile.

I hope this book helps you and that you truly enjoy it. If you are looking for more Christian books with topics of anxiety there is a book by Max Lucado - Anxious for Nothing: Finding Calm in a Chaotic World.

I felt that way before reading this but then I got so inspired to read more New Testament and memorize some verses. Because I wasn't that familiar with the Bible to be able to quote it. Well, if you give it a chance I hope it works out for you too.

Grace Revealed is such an informative book. An eye-opener! It is a constant reminder that despite our flaws as Christians, we still have to stay committed and never give in. God is faithful. Living in a transitional society poses a myriad of challenges but the author reminds the reader that there's a way out,always.

I am compelled to give this book a 4 out 4 rating as I found it immensely educative and inspiring hence an armor to counter the life struggles fearlessly. It is also so appealing to Christians and anyone crippled with afflictions.
