The first follow-up to Maxie Dunnam's wildly popular The Workbook
of Living Prayer, which was published thirty-five years ago, and
had sold over 1 million copies.
The church today desperately needs to recover the depth, richness,
and wonder of the biblical and Wesleyan doctrine of salvation. In
this book, author Maxie Dunnam offers his perspective on how to
make this recovery possible. Drawing deeply on biblical and
Wesleyan sources, Dunnam leads his readers on a rich and
challenging tour of what it means to say that we are "going on to
salvation" saved by grace. Ten well drawn chapters map the full
terrain of justifying, sanctifying, and perfecting grace, and mark
off those detours that too frequently have confused the way of
salvation. Each chapter includes questions for personal reflection
and group discussion. Also included in this revised edition is a
new chapter on the timely topic of Calvinism. Here is a book about
salvation and grace that will itself be a means of grace for
congregations and individuals. MAXIE DUNNAM is the chancellor of
Asbury Theological Seminary; the pastor emeritus of Christ United
Methodist Church in Memphis, Tennessee; and the vice-chairperson of
World Evangelism of the World Methodist Council. He is the author
of several books, including "This Is Christianity, Alive in Christ,
" and "The Workbook of Living Prayer.""
