It's the most powerful force in the universe, our only hope for love and forgiveness, and our way to eternal life: amazing, radical, life-changing grace.

Millions of lives have been changed by award-winning author Philip Yancey's classic examination of grace at street level. Grace is the one thing the world can't duplicate, the one thing it craves above all else, and the only way to bring hope and transformation to a fallen, jaded world.

In this revised and updated edition of his most personal and provocative book ever, Yancey offers true, compelling portraits of grace's life-changing power, setting it in the midst of life's stark realities and testing its mettle against horrific "ungrace" by asking:

• If grace is God's love for the undeserving, what does it look like in action
• How well are we lavishing grace on a world that knows far more of cruelty and unforgiveness than it does of mercy
• Can grace survive in the midst of such atrocities as the Nazi holocaust, and can it triumph over the brutality of hate

With powerful stories, rich theology, and practical invitations, Yancey challenges us to become living answers to a world that desperately wants to know,What's So Amazing About Grace

Praise for What's So Amazing About Grace:

"I'm trying to remember when I've read a more important book. With prophetic intensity, Yancey successfully nudges aside every other worthy--and not-so-worthy--agenda and restores "dispensing grace" as the central mission of the church. His thesis will alienate those whose Christianity centers on something else, and he invites all who thirst for grace to make it the bottom line of their lives. The message of this book has the power to reform the church, one relationship at a time."

--Dr. Larry Crabb, psychologist; author; professor, Colorado Christian University
