This equally insightful exploration of grace, the most powerful force in the universe and our only hope for love and forgiveness.

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 distinctive. 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 What’s So Amazing About Grace? 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?
