Summary of David Jeremiah's Captured By Grace - E-book - ePub

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 In 2004, a teenager in New York City was able to throw a twenty-pound turkey through a woman's windshield, breaking every bone in her face. The media ran with the story, and people were outraged. But it was the victim who asked for leniency. #2 When love is returned for evil, we can't help but stop and stare.
Grace is shocking, like the heavenly converse of a traffic accident. It renounces the entire conventional wisdom of social behavior. #3 The idea of grace has the power to transform people. It is the magnificent ideal by which Paul would measure his life and yours. It is the same power that transformed a ruthless slave trader to a timeless troubadour of liberation. #4 John Newton, a pastor, wrote the famous hymn Amazing Grace in 1773.
It was not until the nineteenth century that the familiar melody was created. The original hymn was titled Faith's Review and Expectation.
