Captured by Grace: No One is Beyond the Reach of a Loving God

It reached a slace trader onboard a ship raiding Africa's coast in March 1748. He later gave the world its most beloved hymn.
It struck the Christian church's most treacherous enemy on a Damascus road in AD 45, and he became the gospel's greatest messenger.
And it can free you too...of any shameful memory, open wound, unthinking mistake, or willful choice.
Encountering God's grace changes lives forever. Let Dr. David Jeremiah show you how the transforming mercy that captured songwriter John Newton and the apostle Paul can awaken within you a fresh experience of the God who loves you fearlessly and pursues you with abandon.

Top Highlights
“Our New Testament contains 155 references to grace; 130 of them come from the pen of Paul.” (Page 13)
“Mercy is God withholding the punishment we rightfully deserve. Grace is God not only withholding that punishment but offering the most precious of gifts instead.” (Page 23)
“As Mark McMinn puts it, ‘Part of our mess is not knowing we are a mess.’3 We live quiet lives, never robbing a bank or committing a murder. None of us has been employed as a slave trader or held the robes of those throwing rocks at a martyr. We confuse calmness with holiness. It’s been observed in surveys that the average person believes he is better than the average person.4 We are blind to our own blindness.” (Page 69)
“One of the greatest ironies of the Christian life is that we often have certainty about the ultimate and uncertainty about the immediate.” (Page 150)
“Unmerited favor … Unlimited … Grace is a five-letter word spelled J-E-S-U-S” (Page 26)
Captured by Grace could just be the fresh experience of the love of God you've been waiting for.
