I know I'm about a decade behind in reading this book. To me it wasn't as life changing as others have said but it was a good book. The author writes about God's grace and how if we really believe in His grace, really believe it to our core, it will change how we do life. We are but poor sinners and yet God loves us, loves us so much He died. It is a truth that will transform you if you let it. That someone could love us that much when we have failed and blown it too many times to count. "When I get honest, I admit I am a bundle of paradoxes. I believe and I doubt, I hope and get discouraged, I love and I hate, I feel bad about feeling good, I feel guilty about not feeling guilty. I am trusting and suspicious. I am honest and I am still playing games. To live by grace means to acknowledge my whole life story, the light side and the dark." Christ died for the whole of you, not just the good parts. "God intended for us to discover His loving presence in the world around us." His creation is designed to remind us how much He loves us. I liked the reminder in this book that I can not do anything to make God love me more. He loves me just the way that I am. That can bring a lot of relief to a perfectionist. If you are having a hard time grasping how much God loves you or understanding His grace this is a great book to pick up.
