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.
At age 36, Bob George came to know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Two years later he left his successful business to become involved in full time ministry. With the emphasis on "full-time," Bob began to experience the heartache of losing his first love, Jesus Christ. His resulting search for truth led Bob to the love and acceptance of God that was there all along.
Years of ministry, in both personal and group settings, fostered in Bob's heart a passion to communicate the love and grace of God to hurting people throughout the nation and the world. Thus, in 1977, Bob George founded Dallas-based People to People Ministries.
For many years, Bob hosted People to People, a daily radio broadcast. Connecting with listeners across the continent on his live, daily radio broadcast, Bob offered real answers for real life as he addressed common questions as well as the tough issues of today, directing callers to the centrality of "Christ in you, your only hope of glory" (Colossians 1:27).
Bob George is the author of the best-selling book, Classic Christianity, with an estimated 650,000 copies in print worldwide, in 27 languages. Bob also has authored several other books including Growing in Grace, Faith That Pleases God, as well as numerous Bible study guides.
Bob and his wife Amy, author of Goodbye Is Not Forever, live in Dallas, Texas. They have two children and four grandchildren.
One of the best books I've read in a long time. "Growing in Grace" speaks to a Christian's walk in the Lord, but more specifically how believers should be framing their thoughts and their lives in order enjoy the fruits of God's grace in the fullest manner possible. At least once a chapter, I had a forehead-slapping moment. Mr George is a wise man and firmly roots his advice in Scripture. The study guide included at the back is an added bonus.
I would recommend this book to anyone who is struggling with their walk these days. Anyone who feels disheartened and discouraged and spiritually stunted is the perfect audience for "Growing in Grace" but honestly, I can't imagine anyone who couldn't gain wisdom and understanding from this excellent book.
What a great account of grace in the life of the Christian. That we all would approach the gift we have been granted in Christ in the way suggested here. Freedom, maturity and more of Jesus. Sign me up! This was my first Bob George book and his gift for illustrations was helpful and the book is overall an encouragement. In the age of "One Way Love" and other books for grace junkies, Growing in Grace proves that grace was understood and embraced in 1991 too!
Follow up Bible study to Classic Christianity. FANTASTIC book about accepting God's grace so that we can live in the FREEDOM that brings!!! Enjoyed the study guide as well.
