Gracia Divina vs. Condena Humana = What's So Amazing about Grace Paperback - 1998

by Philip Yancey

Award-winning author Philip Yancey has a way of toppling convention and getting at the truth. In "What's So Amazing About Grace?", he turns his gift for inquiry to that most basic of all Christian tenets-grace. Grace is the church's great gift to the world, says Yancey. But do Christians really understand grace-and if we do, then why do we experience and show so little of it? Yancey sets grace in the midst of life's stark, often brutal realities to help readers discover the power of God's unrelenting love for sinners. This study guide will help readers apply the discoveries and challenges contained in Yancey's newest and most personal book.


From the publisher

En 1987, una bomba del Ejrcito Republicano Irlands enterr a Gordon Wilson y a su hija de veintin aos bajo metro y medio de escombros. Slo Gordon sobrevivi. Y perdon. De los que pusieron la bomba, dijo: "He perdido a mi hija, pero no les guardo rencor...Esta noche, y todas las noches voy a orar para que Dios los perdone." Sus palabras captaron la atencin de los medios de informacin, y en el dolor de un hombre, el mundo pudo captar un destello de la gracia. En este libro el galardonado escritor Philip Yancey explora la gracia al nivel de la calle. Si el amor de Dios es para quienes no merecen la gracia, entonces, pregunta, qu aspecto tiene cuando acta? Y si los cristianos son los nicos que la pueden distribuir, cun efectiva es la labor que hacemos para derramar gracia sobre un mundo que conoce muchsimo ms de crueldad y de falta de perdn, que de misericordia? La gracia no excusa el pecado, dice Yancey, pero valora al pecador. La gracia genuina es sorprendente y escandalosa. Sacude nuestras ideas convencindoles con su insistencia en acercarse a los pecadores para tocarlos con la misericordia y la esperanza.

From the rear cover

In 1987, an IRA bomb buried Gordon Wilson and his twenty-year-old daughter beneath five feet of rubble. Gordon alone survived. And forgave. He said of the bombers, 'I have lost my daughter, but I bear no grudge...I shall pray, tonight and every night, that God will forgive them.' His words caught the media's ears---and out of one man's grief, the world got a glimpse of grace. Grace is the church's great distinction. It's the one thing the world cannot duplicate, and the one thing it craves above all else---for only grace can bring hope and transformation to a jaded world. In this book, award-winning author Philip Yancey explores grace at street level. If grace is God's love for the undeserving, he asks, then what does it look like in action? And if Christians are its sole dispensers, then how are we doing at lavishing grace on a world that knows far more of cruelty and unforgiveness than it does of mercy? Grace does not excuse sin, says Yancey, but it treasures the sinner. True grace is shocking, scandalous. It shakes our conventional way of thought with its insistence on getting close to sinners and touching them with mercy and hope.
