What’s so Amazing About Grace?
I just finished this book by Philip Yancey tonight. All I have to say is that more people need to read it and act on what they read.
One of the quotes that I want to share is actually quoted from another book which deals with the story of Will Campbell, a man who, after having a fiend of his killed by a KKK radical, went on to minister to the KKK. (If you’re interested in that book, it’s called Brother to a Dragonfly.) An agnostic friend of Will’s who constantly disputed his faith challenged him once again:
“In ten words or less, what’s the Christian message?”… We were going someplace, or coming back from someplace when he said, “Let me have it. Ten words.” I said, “We’re all bastards but God loves us anyway.” He didn’t comment on what he thought about the summary except to say, after he had counted the number of words on his fingers, “I gave you a ten-word limit. If you want to try again you have two words left.” I didn’t try again…
Thank God for His eternal Grace…
