What's So Amazing About Grace? Visual Edition

Rating:
Summary: love it... and i hate christian books!
Review: Famous criminal trials, international disasters like the world wars, heros and villans we all know of, bums on the street--
what does grace really mean today? what does it looks like? this book answers those questions in the most humble and powerful ways. visually, intellectually, and emotionally stimulating so you can't put it down.

Yancey puts the core message of the Bible into today's context not by droning on philosophically -- but by unassumingly presenting examples of grace today. God's grace as well as interpersonal grace.

i have no problem giving this book to anyone interested in or partaking in God's grace. it is truly fantastic literature.

Summary: Beautifully designed book with an intense message
Review: I can't say enough about Phillip Yancey; I love his work. And I certainly thought that nothing could be better than What's So Amazing About Grace. But then I picked up the visual edition and it BLEW my mind. It hits every sensory organ ... I cried the first time I put these words and pictures together in my mind.

Summary: Truly Unique.
Review: I'm really not the type of person who enjoys reading or looking at visual editions of books. I love to read and usually would rather read the original book and all it's words than look at something that's sort of the book, but not really. Don't get me wrong, I like pictures and illustrations really help me learn concepts better, but I prefer original texts to an inferior copy. I can't say that about WHAT'S SO AMAZING ABOUT GRACE? THE VISUAL EDITION. This book captures the spirit of Yancey's book to a tee and instead of being a cheap rip-off, feels and even reads more like a companion. Beautiful pictures, powerful stories, well planned illustrations, and thought-provoking quotations are all woven together to display the power, mystery, and love of God's grace. I normally wouldn't recommend a book like this at all. However, this book is so well put together that I recommend this book to just about anyone.

Review: I've never read the full version of this book, but this one caught my eye because of the beautiful graphic design as I flipped through it (being a desinger myself). I was pleased to find that the book was more than just a nicely designed book -- it was one of the best expositions on grace I have read. If you have a pagan friend, this would be a great book to give as a gift.
