$19.99 -paperback, $24.99 - hardback

    Grace. What an amazing word! Do we really understand what God's Grace really means in our lives and if we do, how will that change the way we live? In his book, Max helps us understand that "God doesn't condone our sin, nor does He compromise His standard. He doesn't ignore our rebellion, nor does He relax His demands. Rather than dismiss our sin, He assumes our sin and, incredibly sentences Himself. God is still Holy. sin is still Sin. And we are redeemed." If we realize what it really means to accept God's grace, then we will know we can never fall beyond His love and that will change the way we live!
