I read this book over a long Christmas break and it was the perfect book for the season. Grace is an amazing thing and Mr. Yancey captures it so well in his words. Mr. Yancey's writing style is very comforting like a good conversation. I recommend this both as something to read and something to give as a gift to someone that needs a reminder of the good in this world.

There are books that come along that make a difference in our lives, but this "takes the cake"! I feel my life will never be the same after reading his insights into Grace and the challenge we have before us as Christians. I am grateful to Mr. Yancey and feel I am blessed to be sharing this time in history with him. He has such a gift to offer. Mary Sue Reutebuch

The "participants guide" is to go along with the DVD study. The "Study guide" (a different item) is to go along with the original book.

I thought that this book was very informative and insightful. It presented many good points in common areas of Christian lives and our present lack of grace.

I thought this book had some very insightful looks into grace, and its role in Chrisianity. The problem I had with this book is that pretty much all the insights could have been fit into a 20 page paper. I ended up having to really force myself to finish the book because about half way through the book, I got really bored with the rehashing of the same ideas. Worth reading, but I would probably just stop halfway through, you will have gotten everything the book will offer you.

The DVD is very high quality and very well done. It comes with a guide for small group leader's that is helpful. The subject matter is very thought provoking and promotes a good launch for teaching and good discussion.

I first read this book many years ago and lost my copy of it. This purchase replaced my copy and provided a good friend with a great book worthy of consideration!

I ordered this book in error. I meant to order the book and not the workbook.

I am generally a Yancey fan. I've read several of his books and would say that this one and The Jesus I Never Knew are excellent places to start in his vast collection. His books are well written and easy to read without being strictly "fluff."

Grace is a word that is bandied about pretty regularly but I don't think I really knew what it meant in actual practice. This book is so eye opening - I really felt like I was learning anew how much God loves me while reading it. I would recommend it for searchers, new Christians, and mature Christians alike, and believe that any level would be able to glean something from it's pages.

Reviews of this book can only validate in today's society what has been well-known for years - This book is simply wonderful at identifying how critical - and how amazing - grace is for all of us.

I truly believe that it would be extremely helpful for non-Christians to read, to gain a clear explanation for what drives Christian believers' faith. Read at the risk of your own beliefs!

Oh, that everyone could understand "grace," particularly in this social environment of "justice" and "entitlement."
