I am reading a book by Philip Yancey titled, "What's So Amazing About Grace?" I have found it to be very convicting in areas where many of us have abode for however long periods of time. (Some longer than others,SMILE>)

He covers grace from a perspective of real life examples and uses his own life to make his points. There's parts on legalism that hits home and additudes concerning forgiveness. There's his perspective of the modern day church, evangelical christians, political activism, social issues(racism, abortion, homosexuality), moral issues. and other things facing 'the church' today.

Here's a quote that I really agreed with(and there were quite a few)...

"...the proof of spiritual maturity is not how "pure" you are but awareness of your impurity. That very awareness opens the door to grace."

“But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us,”
