A Beautiful Book
I got the subject of this particular review from Thomas Nelson again. I?m partly telling you that because I don?t want to be sued, and partly because I can actually recommend the publisher this time--a novelty for Thomas Nelson! Most of the books I?ve read from TN have been somewhat disappointing in their spiritual quality. Either they?ve been weak and watery, or questionable in their theological stands?Something has usually been off.
Not so with this newest book. Captured by Grace, by well-known author and teacher Dr. David Jeremiah, has been an absolute delight and treat to read. Challenging, fascinating, comforting and wise, this book does an exceptional job of detailing the concept of Grace and exactly all that entails.
He starts with two famous figures: a zealot-turned-apostle and a slave trader-turned-preacher and hymn-writer--two men who lived centuries apart and yet experienced very similar events in their lives. Paul and John Newton both had much to say on grace, and their words and concepts form the background of Captured by Grace.
I highly recommend Captured by Grace to anyone--whether you?re just looking for a good read, or a devotional; a Sunday-school text or a personal ?miracle-grow? for your life of faith. I gives Captured by Grace a glowing five stars!
