Synopsis

Grace is one of the most familiar words in Christianity-and one of the least understood.

Many people assume the Christian faith is about trying harder, behaving better, or somehow keeping God on their side. GRACE: Plain & Simple shows why the Bible tells a very different story.

Richard J. Howarth begins with the Bible's diagnosis of the human condition: a fourfold barrier between humanity and God. God's perfect goodness, the debt of sin and a fallen nature, spiritual bondage, and spiritual death are not problems human effort can remove. They require God to act.

With clarity and warmth, this book explains how the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus accomplish everything required to remove that barrier. Along the way, it unpacks key biblical words such as redemption, propitiation, substitution, reconciliation, justification, and regeneration in clear, everyday language.

Serious without being heavy, and thoughtful without being academic, GRACE: Plain & Simple combines biblical depth, pastoral warmth, and gentle wit. Christianity is not self-help, rule-keeping, or religious performance. It is rescue.

Includes a comprehensive 11-session Study Guide for individual or group use.
