My favorite Lucado book. One of the reasons is the parable of the river. Very few times in this life do you read something that forces you to look at yourself and really realize what kind of person you are. Max Lucado has that ability and he uses plain language and regular situations to do it.

The lesson on forgiveness, giving grace because we have received grace. When it seems hard for you to forgive, think of what God has forgiven in you... Amazing.

Max Lucado has a gift for worming his way into your heart with really simple concepts and genuine enthusiasm. I love his works and this has quickly become my favorite of his. In this absolutely stunning book, Mr. Lucado puts grace on center stage and then delves into what makes grace so beautiful. I love his easy-going writing style. The book is written like a conversation among friends. He's just a normal guy like you and me and he's very open about his own marks and messes. He doesn't have an

In the Grip of Grace is an absolutely beautiful declaration that nothing can pull us from the grip of God's grace. It's a timeless message. Max Lucado writes as an every day believer who struggles with believing that grace never stops covering us. He's encouraging, truthful, and understanding. I was deeply encouraged by this book.

Wow! I needed this... I listened to it - two and half times... Beautiful description of Grace... Thank you for the Atonement!!!

I always try to read at least one inspirational book at Christmastime - both to keep me focused on the true spirit of the season as well as to give me a way to distract myself from my grief over the anniversary of my daughter’s death (she was only 16 when she died of bone cancer just 9 days before Christmas). This Lucado book was a good one for that. I like his way of looking at scripture and complex concepts and bringing them to life, making them easy to understand. This book looks at Paul’s le...

Such a beautiful explanation about grace... I didn't fully comprehend what grace truly was until in my 30's. Phenomenal book.

This was an easy read. Max Lucado's writing style is easy and friendly. I esp enjoyed the stories he uses to illustrate his points, some were really funny and I found myself chuckling.Its not an in depth study of Grace or the Book of Romans but he does a decent job of speaking of salvation as something that is a gift and not something we work for.He briefly touches on grace in relationships with others and that really opened my eyes to how we are called to really love like Jesus; by extending HI...

Great book it's inspiring and well written. I loved how he used everyday experiences to show how God has us in his hands.I highly recommend it.

I enjoy Pastor Lucado’s books because I feel a connection. Some may think his writing isn’t “deep” enough, but I love his style. He shares personal stories and he definitely has a way with words that works for me. This book focuses on Romans and God’s grace. It’s a study with questions for each chapter.

Max Lucado walks through the book of Romans. Of note: check out the Parable of the River he uses to open the book.

This book was part of my decision to go back to church after 40 years of being a non-practitioner. I am so thankful that I discovered Max Lucado; my life is now in the hands of our Lord and I have real inner peace for the first time in many years.

A wonderful picture of grace and our own inability to save ourselves. A wonderful tool for any new Christian and a great reminder for the mature Christian. The only thing keeping me from giving it 5 stars is the author's use of the Message as his translation in spots. I originally checked it out from the library, but bought my own copy so I can white out all those quotes and replace them with a more accurate translation.

A Good Book for Father's DayThis book took me a week to read, which is good at the rate I read. Sometimes I took breaks between chapters. I liked the first part of the book better. With the exception of the conclusion, it stayed more on the topic of grace. I liked the parable of the river at the beginning and Lucado's references to it throughout the first of the book and in the conclusion.One thing I did like about the latter chapters was how Lucado tied each section to a bible verse or passage,...

I read this book many years a go as part of a Youth Bible Study that I was a co-leader in, and read it again some time later. I got rid or lost my copy and found this copy at a book sale and decided to read the book again. I am not a huge Lucado fan, but enjoy this book dealing with the Book of Romans. Once again I used the book as a form of a devotional while going through the book of Romans, and enjoyed reconnecting with the book, from Lucado's illustrations to his simple summary of the verses...

Great read! Loved the chapter on fellowship and the detailed study of Romans 1-8.

I never know how to rate a Lucado. It was a great book. Lighter on the doctrine, and heavy on the fluff, but man! Great fluff. The kind of fluff that really attaches the doctrine to your heart. Nice.And I guess it can't be heavy all the time.

We read this book for my Sunday School class. We went through a chapter a week.I didn't agree with everything 100% in this book, but I did get a lot out of this book.I should have kept notes while reading it. I didn't mark in the book since I borrowed it from my local library. Some things I do remember from the book;I saw myself in each of the brothers at the beginning of the book. At one part or another in my life, I have been one of the brothers. "The easiest way to justify the mistakes in my

This book ended too soon if you ask me. It was very good! I've never read Max Lucado but I'm definitely going to start after this!

In college, I took a "Sociology of Murder" class with Dr. Ron Homles. Dr. Holmes was one of the profilers that worked on Ted Bundy's case (Ted had his home phone number, he said. "Honey, Ted Bundy's on the phone...") While Dr. Holmes was passing out our tests one day, he mentioned that he is a Christian and that Ted Bundy - just before he died - became a Chrisitan also and asked God for forgiveness of his sins. After a moment of stunned silence from the students (now thinking back, the whole top...
