Operating in the Power of God's Grace: Discover the Secret of Fruitfulness

Loved every word

It explains Grace better than I have ever read before.I would recommend it to everyone Christian and non Christian alike.

Love it!!

This book gave me an increased understanding of the breadth of God's grace. I had generally associated grace with salvation. I found out from this book that grace has a much larger role in how we live our lives than I had ever imagined.God's grace empowers us to make our lives effective and fruitful. Henderson goes to Col. 1:5-6 to show the connection between grace and bearing fruit. I also found out that grace is not just a theological concept but should be a spiritual experience. (p. 46) Henderson uses the story of the woman caught in adultery to show the relationship between grace and shame. I was impressed with the insight that shame does not motivate us to righteousness and holiness. Being forgiven and freed from condemnation empowers us to live our new identity. Henderson uses other passages to reveal the relationships of mercy and grace, repentance and grace, bitterness and grace, grace and the gifts, and even grace and grease.I was probably surprised the most with Henderson's teaching on levels of grace – and he shows it using Scripture passages. Having associated grace with salvation and vaguely with living the Christian life, I had not considered we could experience levels of grace. “The grace of God in our lives is a result of intimacy as we get to know Him.” (p. 188) The more we know Him, the more we walk in grace. Grace should always be increasing in our lives, empowering us to be more effective and fruitful.I really appreciated this book on grace. I learned a great deal, perhaps because Henderson is very good at helping readers like me understand biblical concepts and then translate my understanding into purposeful living. I recommend this book.I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher. My comments are an independent and honest review.

Being connected to God is the best way to fully understand His unnerving love for each of us no matter our issues past or present. Operating in the Power of God's Grace by Robert Henderson will clearly share the best manner in achieving this level of His grace. The difficulties in life can make us stray from Him but it will change once we accept His all encompassing gracefulness. An inspiring read that can change us for the better. I received a copy for this review from Chosen Books and all opinions are my own.

This book sounded so good, so much of what I need to get. And it is full of good content I just couldn't stay focused long enough to really absorb it. This is a problem I often have with non-fiction books. I know it isn't really speaking to me if I am thinking about ten others things as I am reading and realize I read a whole page but have no idea what I just read.There really is good content in the book but the style didn't allow me to get absorbed in it therefore I really didn't get a lot of it and I really wanted to.A copy of this book was given to me. All opinions are my own.

Really good read. A excellent study on grace
