As someone who is not completely familiar with the Bible, I sometimes found the verses slightly overwhelming, which could just be a matter of preference.

My favorite aspect is that the book is comprised of mini stories.

I am about halfway into the book and I give it 3 out of 4 stars.

I haven't read the book yet, but the incorporation of mini stories sounds right up my alley. Stories are powerful for conveying any message

I'm a Christian and I appreciate your honesty about where you stand and your open minded nature as well. I haven't read the book either but it's in my shelf now. I believe we can both take something away from reading the book.

As much as I appreciate the purpose of this book and that it can serve as enlightenment, comfort, and inspiration, I don't agree with some of the theology. Whether it was purposeful or not, I took issue with the section that essentially stated that God overlooks our sins and only sees Jesus. However, in situations like this, I prefer to eat the meat and spit out the bones. The bulk of the book was excellent and will certainly bring many people hope.

Although I'm not a practicing member of my religion, I would recommend this to people who are more religiously inclined than me needing spiritual guidance. The anecdotes and insights in the book will definitely provide inspiration to people from all walks of life.

For Those in Require of Trust and Encouragement Grace Uncovered is an motivational book particularly for those in require of support when going through times of emergency such as passing of a adored one, enslavement, family issues, or career issues to title a couple of. It is isolated into chapters for each subject, has individual stories of others who had managed with that same circumstance and how they got through it. Each chapter offers some scriptures relating to the subject which may be of a few consolation, and numerous chapters conclusion with a supplication relating to the subject. I think it would be a brilliant asset for a individual managing with one of those issues, as frequently when we are going through something, we feel so alone and disconnected, and perusing the accounts of others can offer assistance to bring a few much required alleviating alleviation and support. I delighted in perusing the book, and found motivation in perusing how others hit a harsh fix, and felt so distressing, but made it through and presently discover fulfillment in making a difference others. I gotten this book from the distributer and creator in trade for an genuine survey-- thank you!

To me this book has a more conservative Christian view. I have always believed that there is more to spirituality than just Christian religion, which can be very limiting to me. However, I did learn some useful lessons and it has a valuable place in the market.

Nerea wrote: ↑01 May 2020, 01:08 This is a good piece that might encourage readers, especially those seeking spiritual comfort and enlightenment. The author defines Grace (also undeserved kindness), stating its importance. With conviction and supportive testimonies, the author explains how you can attain the undeserved kindness from God and how it can affect you as an individual.

My only problem is with some parts of the material where the author doesn’t provide a clear distinction between God and Jesus. At some point, he speaks of the two as one person and in other points as two different people. This might sound confusing for readers who are new to the divine teaching.

I like the Bible example of transformation incorporated in the material, which helps the reader to understand God’s undeserved kindness and know its purpose. Additionally, there are cited Bible verses addressed to specific readers, who are going through trials and are seeking comfort.

That said, I rate the book at [/b]3 out of 4 stars[/b]. I feel like some teachings in the material need a better explanation. There are some that I don’t agree with, like, how God views us as individuals and the lack of a clear distinction between God and Jesus.

The book will impress Christians or any reader looking for some good spiritual refreshments.

Your post has been very insightful on the book.

God’s grace is definitely important in life. Reading the description and reviews of this book, it seems to be a great book. I think people of any religion can relate to this.

Grace Revealed is such an inspiring novel. Not only in the Christian community but every religion tells the same thing. The way of worship is may be different, but the goal is the same. This book has a positivity which I liked.

I find this book very encouraging.Matters faith are not easy to handle and it takes a bold author to do such a piece.The definition of grace is just superb.

A very encouraging book I'm looking forward to read. Returning grace to others sounds amazing.

I'm still reading the book, but I would say that my favorite aspect so far is the gentleness of the author in regard to the sensitive topics. I appreciated the fact that he announces at the beginning that he is not a medical practitioner and not an ordained minister and that he really allows the research and those who have experience with those topics to do most of the talking for him. I think that's just a very gentle and wise move. The formatting is also a plus for me. The reflection questions and key takeaways are useful.

In terms of dislikes, while I appreciate his gentleness and his analyses, the writing did feel a little repetitive in some sections.

I would currently give it a 3 out 4, but the verdict is still out, as I'm still working my way through it. As of now, I have been enjoying it!

I liked that concept, too. It's kind of like "paying it forward."
I haven't finished the book, and I may not. Some of the stories of personal crisis are unnerving, to say the least. At this point, I would give it 3 out of 4 stars.

I haven't read this book, but I think I might enjoy it. From reading the reviews, it sounds like the book is broken into short stories. I enjoy book when they're broken down that way. I'd give it a try and see what it is all about.
