Editorial Reviews

Review

Anyone who reads through Grace Immersion is going to come out clean and refreshed, feeling like weights have lifted off them and most of all their hearts melted in wondrous gratitude to Jesus. But the impact of this book won't end with the reader. As people grasp the message within, their lives will then contagiously impact those who are around them because of the grace they are immersed in. What an incredibly needed message is within these pages about grace, which can literally turn around someone's entire understanding of what it means to follow Jesus. --Dan Kimball, Pastor, Vintage Faith Church, Santa Cruz, California, Author of They Like Jesus But Not The Church

Every Christian I know is looking for what this book describes... And nobody says it with more depth or more humor than René Schlaepfer. If you find yourself needing grace to start over, to overcome a crippling habit, or to let go of guilt, you have picked up the right book. What's at stake? Everything! Every church has scores of people living under dark clouds of condemnation, guilt and hopelessness. Christians and the Christian church are at their best (and most attractive) when and only when they are set free by grace! --Ray Johnston, Senior Pastor, Bayside Church, Granite Bay, California, President of Developing Effective Leaders

If you find your life is dry and joyless, Grace Immersion will help you find the laughter again. And not just through funny stories. René gets to the delightful heart of God s love for you. God's grace is the theme of the whole Bible, so how do we miss it? You'll rediscover it here in bite-sized daily doses that will change you to the core. --Bill Butterworth, Speaker, and author of On The Fly Guide to Balancing Work and Life; The Promise of the Second Wind and When Life Doesn't Turn Out Like You Planned

5.0 out of 5 stars Great, life-changing book, October 18, 2011
This review is from: Grace Immersion (Paperback)
As a former radio disc jockey, René is a very gifted communicator. That comes through in his writings. Here are five reasons to consider reading this book:

1. The format - The book is divided into 50 2-page chapters, presented as daily meditations. Additionally there are an extra 14 bonus lessons, weekly video discussion starters and sermon recordings at graceimmersion.com that help extend the content into your daily life. In the appendices you will also find resources like a songlist, bibliography and some Grace Project ideas. This book should ideally be read devotionally and in community.

2. The content - While the chapters are short, they are also engaging. René is a master storyteller and you will find yourself laughing while he helps you find the freedom he has discovered in Christ.

3. The man - This is not a theoretical book. Everything in these chapters comes through René's own personal journey to grace. He's been a pastor for over 20 years and so he should know better, but he found himself living a performance-driven faith that put him in the hospital from self-induced stress. God set him free through a new understanding of the gospel of grace and that message oozes through these pages.

4. The Bible - Every meditation is rooted in a scriptural passage or thought. I appreciated the fact that he spent four out of seven weeks exploring the concept of grace in the Gospels, Acts/Galatians, Romans and Ephesians. The Apostle Paul surely understood the need and benefits of God's saving and sanctifying grace!

5. The approach - René tackles some sacred cows in a humorous, but direct way. God has uniquely prepared him to write this book.

3 Reasons Why You Shouldn't Read This Book

1. Don't read this book if you think Christians shouldn't laugh. You might be tempted to sin.

2. If you're looking for a theological treatise on grace, read no further. This book provides pastoral reflections seeking to help everyday Christians find freedom through grace-filled living. While this isn't a seminary textbook, every seminarian and pastor should read this for his own soul--and as a model for effective communication.

3. If you've already got the Christian life figured out, this book won't help you. Just give it to someone who really needs it--like your pastor! Of course, if you've already perfected your faith, you won't be reading this because you're in heaven!

I found this book to be very helpful in my personal journey in grace. I encourage you to buy it!
