Bob George (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 1, 1997

If your only experience of God’s grace is salvation, you’re missing half the good news. The other half is equally inspiring—Jesus wants you to experience His grace every day as He lives his life through you!

Discover vibrant, life-embracing faith through the simple and timeless truth of God’s grace. As people who have been saved by grace and set free by grace, our next step is to grow in grace. As we grow, we rejoice in the scriptural promises that enable us to give up guilt and anxiety, let go of legalism, and rediscover the joyous reality of Christ living His life through us!

The helpful study guide is perfect for small groups and all who desire to learn even more about the freeing life that is ours as followers of Jesus Christ.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book for any believer to learn about living in grace, July 23, 1999

An excellent book in that it combines Biblical truth and practical living. An great tool for anyone coming from a legalistic background or new believers that are learning about the new life that they have in Christ. The study guide makes this book an excellent choice for Bible studies or Sunday school classes. One of the best books I have ever read on the subject of grace. I would recommend to it anyone.

3.0 out of 5 stars Better Books on Spiritual Maturity are Available, July 3, 2003

This review is from: Growing in Grace : With Study Guide (Paperback)

This title is the third I have read by Bob George. While this book gives good advice on how to rest in God's grace, it still does not equal the intensity of his best-selling work "Classic Christianity." George continues his strong emphasis upon the believer's ability to rely upon and to rest within God's grace rather than striving and struggling in the Christian life.

This work, like all his others, is very readable and easy to understand. The reader must keep in mind however, that George is speaking as a counselor, not a theologian. He is also coming from a background of having struggled with legalism, and having counseled with many Christians who had the same struggle. At times George overstates his case, possibly to jolt any readers struggling with legalism into a new understanding of a life dependent upon the grace of God.

At this point, the only book by George I can strongly recommend is "Classic Christianity." Once the reader has grasped the truths it presents, the need for this volume decreases. There are many other books on the market that do a much better job of enhancing spiritual maturity than this one.

I actually read this book over ten years ago and it was life-changing for me in regards to my relationship with the Lord Jesus and how I was pursuing the same. The vast majority of people get frustrated and confused because they think of that relationship as rules and earning privileges when it is, in fact, a relationship with Someone who cares for us and has provided for everything we will need to live a successful and joyous life. You will definitely need to read through it a couple of times to get all the wonderful blessings out of it.
