What's So Amazing About Grace?: The Church Backslides: How Legalism Corrupts
by Philip YanceyOVER ONE MILLION COPIES SOLD!Discover grace as you've never known it before: the most powerful force in the universe and our only hope for love and forgiveness. Grace is the church's great distinctive. It'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 What's So Amazing About Grace? award-winning author Philip Yancey explores grace at street level. If grace is God'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 life'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 today's AIDS-ridden addict as much as the tax collector of Jesus's day.In his most personal and provocative book ever, Yancey offers compelling, true portraits of grace'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, What's So Amazing About Grace?

by Waldo MellonImaginary advice columnist Waldo Mellon offers humor and wisdom as a balm for the anxieties of life.Dear Abby, Dear Ann Landers... make room for Dear Waldo, the imaginary advice columnist of the woes and foibles of human existence from screenwriter Steve Adams. "Dear Waldo, "My moron brother Lance is obsessed with the idea that there's millions and millions of other planets with life on them. How do I break the news to him it isn't so? "Sincerely, "Bruno" "Dear Bruno, "Before I answer your question, I'd like to point out that there is no such thing as a moron or an idiot or an imbecile. There are only living things that know different things than you know. "To answer your question, let's take a look at this thing called Life that your brother is talking about. Of course there's a much earlier model of Living Things: Plants. The basic different between Animals and Plants is that Animals are cordless, whereas Plants have to be plugged in..." "Dear Waldo, "I have done a horrible thing. It's such a horrible thing that I can't tell anybody. I'm hoping you can help me. "Anonymous" "Dear Anonymous, "Unless you're born and then die real quick, you will live to do what you think are horrible things. May I take me, for instance? "Here I am taking my brother's bunny out of the cage and I'm throwing him up and I'm letting him land on the floor. Over and over. It couldn't move its hind legs after that. A few days later my father poured some chloroform on to a rag and put the rag and the bunny into a shoe box and held it tight until everything stopped moving... "In my opinion we all have a Treasure Box in our heads. It's where we store our essence: The greatest of our great pleasures, our proud moments, and great sorrows. So why not place into that same Treasure Box the most horrible of our horrors? "Anonymous, answer honestly: which has done a better job of sharpening your focus--the good things you've done, or the bad things? "And so, Anonymous, that horrible thing you did that broke no laws and hurt no one but yourself? Toss it in your Treasure Box and move on. "Your fan, "Waldo Mellon"

We just need to believe this and be willing to slow down, in order to embrace and live out His plan. Throughout the past 40 years, God has given Carrie insightful perspectives in life’s successes and in life’s challenges/failures. God is not finished yet. Carrie has opened her heart to His calling, and He has commissioned her to share with the world what she has learned so far.We all have a ministry, and we can live it every single day. It doesn’t have to be a ministry within the church because we are given opportunities to be His hands and feet in our schools, our workplaces, and our communities. God has given us gifts to use in order to help others know His love and to help build His kingdom here on Earth. Our gift back is being “all in” for God and using those gifts to glorify Him.In What’s Your Ministry: 13 Ways to Be “All In”, Carrie guides her readers through parts of her personal journey to share what God has shown her throughout life.

Whatever Has Happened Is Justice
by Dada BhagwanThere are times in life when we must endure suffering due to no fault on our part – or so it seems. Life circumstances can appear terribly unjust. Naturally we question, “Why me? Am I wrong? It’s not my fault!, Why do bad things happen to good people?” Added to the many problems in everyday life, these situations can feel like the very definition of suffering. We may conclude that there is no God, question how to get inner peace, and how to live through such trying circumstances. In the book “Whatever Has Happened Is Justice”, Gnani Purush (embodiment of Self knowledge) Dadashri offers spiritual guidance on how to resolve conflict of injustice inherent in life. Dadashri provides profound insight into the law of karma, explaining who is “The Doer”, who is at fault, and what is the cause behind every instance of suffering. To attain an inner state of no worry, to begin to live in peace, or even to learn how to stay healthy amidst life challenges, this book will prove precious.
