The Truth about Grace: A Biblical and Theological Study of God's Amazing Grace and Salvation

"Is the experience of God's grace in your life a thrilling thing? Just thinking about the fact that God, by His own sovereign plan, decided to be gracious to me is overwhelming. There is nothing greater than receiving grace upon grace." --John MacArthur

Simple definitions can make grace feel like an obvious--even mundane--concept. Nothing could be further from the truth. Grace is the defining feature of the Christian faith. Once we understand how undeserving we are and how much favor we've been given, grace becomes shocking, thrilling, inspiring, and contagious.

Best-selling author and pastor John MacArthur illuminates this profound concept with verse upon verse of Scripture. He also shows that misunderstandings about grace have led to some of the church's greatest problems, perhaps because grace is her most precious gift.

In The Truth About Grace, readers are taken through the Bible and encounter:

• Studies of key Bible characters
• Theological instruction
• Practical application points and ideas
• Inspiration to grow in an understanding of God's grace

Grace is the bedrock of humankind's interaction with God. Without his grace, we are all doomed to failure and separation from him. In this book, you will see the pivotal role of grace in both your salvation and your everyday life.
