In the opening chapter of this concise book (less than 100 pages) Lutzer writes, "Strictly speaking, of course, not one of us deserves redemption. God owes us nothing, but He nevertheless offers His undeserved grace. Though we deserve damnation, He invites each of us to be redeemed. Worthy or not, we come to Him to receive forgiveness and the assurance that God still has a plan for our lives."

Using Biblical stories and modern applications to those stories this is a book about how there is hope for anyone, no matter how bad they have blown it, by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. I highly recommend this book especially for the following types of people:

1) Those who think they are too "bad" to be saved.
2) Those who think they are "good" and don't need to be saved.
3) Those who are enmity with God and know it - and aren't sure how to remedy it.
4) Those who are at enmity with others - and aren't sure how to remedy it.
5) Those who need to be reminded that God has a plan for them, and that no matter how bad you've blown it - there is hope for you because of the Person and Work of the Lord Jesus Christ.
6) Those of you who help others in counseling ministries.

It's a fantastic little book - concise, full of Biblical wisdom, a clear gospel presentation, and leads and will encourage and give you hope. I also recommend it highly as a gift to give to those who are confused, discouraged, and broken over their sin.

I was given this small book for Christmas. I had never "really" Blown It ...... ! I thought. But, I had and didn't know the reality. I have since purchased over 12 copies to be given to people who had important life "problems".......... this small book has always helped and always been appreciated.

It is a quick read and IT CHANGES LIVES ! I could not give it a higher reccomendation.
