wow Thanks for breaking it down for me. will sure want to grab this bookNerea 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.

My only problem though was with some plots where the author doesn’t deliver an apparent difference between God and Jesus.
All in all this book deserves 4 out of 4 stars .

Oh wow, that'll make it easy to relate with, the author intends to drive home his point effectively.

I really liked the personal reflection sections of each chapter and the fact that the book offers those that might be struggling some form of hope.
I did not like how in one of the stories the person telling it said they are thankful for the trauma and shame of their childhood because it brought them closer to God. I felt like that person was trying to justify the horrible things that happened to them with religion. I am however biased against this kind of thinking because someone once told my father (who is disabled for life after falling off of a roof he was working on) that God pushed my father off of the roof to get his attention because he had strayed too far from the path that God had laid out for him. I just can't support the idea of such an act, maybe because I would never hurt my children especially permently hurt them just to get their attention and make them do what I want.
I would recommend this book to someone who was struggling and needed hope but just for general reading I wouldn't recommend it unless stories of faith are your thing. I did give the book a 3 out of 4 rating.
