Book Synopsis
Why is it that so many Christians lose the joy of their salvation and are filled with fear, guilty, and condemnation? Why do so many strive to please God but end up frustrated?
Hebrews 4:9 promises a rest for the people of God and goes on to say: “For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His.”
The core teaching of this book is how to enter that rest and quit
striving in our flesh. Its writers contend that religion has taught us to be perfomance-oriented to please God or earn His blessings, but grace teaches us to believe and rest in the finished work of Christ.
The book teaches a true understanding of grace, for the same grace that saved us through faith is the same grace that will carry us through the storms of life.
What is particularly appealing about this book is the sense of the reader participating in the search for answers in this highly engaging discourse. As you read, you will realize that, as new creations, we are fulfilled in being rather than doing and feel the Lord’s pleasure in relationship rather than performance.
All Christians should read this book, not just baby Christians, because it sets aright the Biblical foundation of living in Christ. This is a book that should be used in Bible studies to reset important truths that may have been taught religiously and not by the Spirit of Grace.
