(  ) CCWLibrary | Dec 25, 2022 | cpcmlib | Jul 28, 2021 | Falamos da graça com frequência, mas será que a entendemos? Será que realmente cremos nela? Em Maravilhosa graça, Philip Yancey discute por que os cristãos, chamados para espargir o aroma da graça, preferem emitir a fumaça cancerígena da ausência de graça. Para o autor, é preciso responder qual é a aparência de um cristão cheio de graça, em oposição à ausência de graça que “opera como um pano de fundo estático ao longo da vida das famílias, das nações e das instituições. Ela é, infelizmente, nosso estado humano natural!”. Em seu livro mais pessoal e provocativo, Yancey oferece retratos fortes e verdadeiros da vida sob a graça — o poder que transforma. Para os abismos resultantes da ausência de graça, há apenas um remédio do qual dependem o cristão e a igreja. Descubra como lidar graciosamente com questões controversas que ameaçam tudo aquilo que nós — cristãos — consideramos caro! UMADFLOR | May 29, 2021 | In What's So Amazing About Grace? award-winning author Philip Yancey explores grace at street level. If grace is God's love for the undeserving, he asks, then what does it look like in action? And if Christians are its sole dispensers, then how are we doing at lavishing grace on a world that knows far more of cruelty and unforgiveness than it does of mercy? Yancey sets grace in the midst of life's stark images, tests its mettle against horrific 'ungrace.' Can grace survive in the midst of such atrocities as the Nazi holocaust? Can it triumph over the brutality of the Ku Klux Klan? Should any grace at all be shown to the likes of Jeffrey Dahmer, who killed and cannibalized seventeen young men? Grace does not excuse sin, says Yancey, but it treasures the sinner. True grace is shocking, scandalous. It shakes our conventions with its insistence on getting close to sinners and touching them with mercy and hope. It forgives the unfaithful spouse, the racist, the child abuser. It loves today's AIDS-ridden addict as much as the tax collector of Jesus' day. In his most personal and provocative book ever, Yancey offers compelling, true portraits of grace's life-changing power. He searches for its presence in his own life and in the church. He asks, How can Christians contend graciously with moral issues that threaten all they hold dear? And he challenges us to become living answers to a world that desperately wants to know, What's So Amazing About Grace? Jonatas.Bakas | Apr 27, 2021 | geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
In 1987, an IRA bomb buried Gordon Wilson and his twenty-year-old daughter beneath five feet of rubble. Gordon alone survived. And forgave. He said of the bombers, " I have lost my daughter, but I bear no grudge . . . I shall pray, tonight and every night, that God will forgive them." His words caught the media's ears -- and out of one man's grief, the world got a glimpse of grace. Grace is the church's great distinctive. It's the one thing the world cannot duplicate, and the one thing it craves above all else -- for only grace can bring hope and transformation to a jaded world.
