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 mediaa??s ear--and out of
one mana??s grief, the world got a glimpse of grace. Grace is the
churcha??s great distinctive. Ita??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. In
Whata??s So Amazing About Grace? award-winning author Philip Yancey
explores grace at street level. If grace is Goda??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 lifea??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 todaya??s AIDS-ridden addict as much as the tax
collector of Jesusa?? day. In his most personal and provocative
book ever, Yancey offers compelling, true portraits of gracea??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, Whata??s So Amazing About Grace?
