    <body><![CDATA[Few books reveal the core of what the grace of the gospel of Jesus Christ is in its frightening, glorious, unparalled nature. Yancey comes very close to doing so in using an array of diverse, complex, beautiful, and amazing stories to illustrate the true grace of the gospel.

Through this story, you’ll be deeply impressed with the power of grace to heal and turn around a calcified religious community.
