Overview

"Grace is one of the most beautiful words in any language and it is the supreme description of God." With these opening words, the author introduces his theme. The sixteen chapters portray the grace of God in a variety of aspects. The author penetrates the richness of his subject in a popular and compelling style—it is theology for the heart. This book is firmly theological, warmly devotional, and eminently practical. Brian Edwards challenges commonly accepted positions in the chapter, “Forgiving Grace,” and provides robust chapters on universal grace and incarnate grace. In particular, his chapter entitled “Ultimate Grace” fittingly concludes his study of the subject.
