Grace Rules: Living in the Kingdom of God Where... [Paperback]

Steve McVey (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 1, 1998

Are you “living by the rules,” or are you letting God’s grace rule you?

There’s a big difference between the two. If you’re living for God—living by the rules—you’ll always be exhausted. You’ll feel that you’re not doing enough for God and that if you don’t “measure up,” He will be displeased with you.

But God never meant for the Christian life to be that way! His Love for us isn’t based on how we perform for Him. He sent Christ to set us free from rules. He didn’t call us to serve Him in our own feeble power, but to let His power flow through us—a power that is without limit!

What’s more, this power is already available to us right now. God has provided everything we need for a truly meaningful, joy-filled life here on earth…all because of His marvelous grace.

Rest in God’s grace, and let Him live through you. Find out how in Grace Rules.

5.0 out of 5 stars Grace truly does Rule, April 9, 2002

By 

Bill Reese (Norcross, GA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Grace Rules: Living in the Kingdom of God Where... (Paperback)

In the book Grace Rules, the reader is asked to focus on the grace that God has imparted upon us as Christians through His son, Jesus Christ. Whether you are a believer or curious about religious thought, this book provides knowledge and numerous examples to explain the concept of grace.

As I traversed the pages of Grace Rules, I appreciated the fact that when the author presented a thought he included the appropriate scripture references. The scriptural basis was more than adequate to withstand even the toughest inquisitor. By the end of book, I realized the author's desire for the reader had been met and I walk each day with a different step than before, because I know that the grace of God is truly authentic.

I am pleased with the way the book unfolded and look forward to perusing the pages of it again in the future. It helped me desire the presence of my Lord and Savior and to know that His grace is sufficient for me. This paperback provided a great follow-up to the previous, Grace Walks, and is designed so one literary work is not dependent of the other.

5.0 out of 5 stars Do you know what you have in Christ?, January 31, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Grace Rules: Living in the Kingdom of God Where... (Paperback)

Is your focus on Christian service (law) or Jesus Christ (grace)? Dr. McVey writes in everyday and down to earth language with examples of how to "Say Goodby to Mr. Law," how about "Knowing God's Will," or "Living for Jesus." These are just a few of the chapter titles. All of Dr. McVey's explanations are backed with carefully thought out examples and scripture. "A Smiling God," Chapter 8 was the turning point for me. On page 147, "Grace is the voice of God saying 'I will bless you until your behavior does improve!' When grace rules a man wants to live a consistently godly life style." On page 200, Galatians 5:1, "'It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery.' The battle is over and you won because of Jesus." This is a book about hope and joy and Yes, GRACE.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Beginning of Understanding, June 23, 2000

By 

HK1412 "HK1412" (Nashville, TN) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Grace Rules: Living in the Kingdom of God Where... (Paperback)

This book has been my "beginning of understanding" to the true message of Christ and the amazing love He has for us. I now understand that I am free from the power of sin that once seperated me from God. This book will show you how to practically walk out the message of grace by allowing Christ to live IN you and actually BE your life. You should read Steve McVey's first book "Grace Walk" as well if you want to get a more complete picture of God's grace. If you know there is something more to the Christian life but don't know how to experience it, this book is for you.
