A book I HIGHLY recommend: What’s So Amazing About Grace?
Philip Yancey, 1997, Zondervan. Following is a bit of insight.
I had originally conceived a book called What’s So Amazing About Grace and Why Don’t Christians Show More of It? in order to speak to the growing enchantment of American Christians with right-wing politics.
Christians were becoming known mainly for what they were against: pornography, homosexuality, abortion, etc. That disturbed me, as I see grace as one of the great, often untapped, powers of the universe that God has asked us to set loose.
As I wrote, the book became less about politics and society and more about the wonders of God’s grace and how it can transform individuals, families, and even nations. (Zondervan, 1997)
