Captured by Grace, Dr. David Jeremiah

Captured by Grace: No One Is Beyond the Reach of a Loving GodCaptured by Grace: No One Is Beyond the Reach of a Loving God by David Jeremiah

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Captured by Grace: No One Is Beyond the Reach of a Loving God, is a book about God's Amazing Grace. Using the lives of the Apostle Paul and John Newton, the writer of the Amazing Grace, Dr. Jeremiah teaches about God's grace. Each chapter takes a line from the hymn as its frame.

I especially enjoyed the parts about John Newton. Those were very interesting and held my attention very well. The part about the Apostle Paul, not as much so.

My best gleanings from the book were the difference between mercy and grace. That was powerfully insightful for me.
- Mercy is when God told Abraham not to sacrifice Isaac.
- Grace was the ram he provided in his stead.

- Mercy is the father receiving his prodigal son back.
- Grace is when he threw a banquet.

Dr. David Jeremiah is a great bible teacher and every time I listen to him, I enjoy him. I trust him to always deliver sound theology. This book is no exception. It's very sound.

My copy of Captured by Grace was provided by Thomas Nelson's Book Sneeze program. It's available from your favorite bookseller of Thomas Nelson books.
