Grace and Truth

Summary: breaks the chains of those slaves of the law
Review: I was a young man who struggled with the idea of doing great works to please my God. I would beat myself up for failing to be perfect and finally came to the point where I felt that God didn't care about me because He wouldn't give me to power to do "good". This book showed me that the problem was that I was trying to do "good" myself and not let God do "good" though me. Bottom line: if it was I doing the good works, then I would be the one that could take credit for it. Strombeck lets you know how grace works and how it is the only thing that we can depend on to do God's work. I strongly recommend this book to anyone claim to be a Christian.

Summary: breaks the chains of those slaves of the law
Review: I'm a Christian who has long struggled with making sense of how so many Christians could continue to live in sin as if it was just not worth trying to obey God. So for the longest time I made it my goal to show them that they were wrong and that one could walk and talk like Jesus. Well, I failed over and over and ended becoming upset with God. In my heart I wanted to do His will but felt that He had abandoned me because "I" couldn't obey his commandments. Well, Strombeck showed me what my horrible error was. The problem was that I was depending on myself, not God, to be a man of God. Jesus said that we need only to believe in Him. Not just acknowledging Him as Christ, but seeking Him daily with every part of our being. This is the only way I can avoid the snares of this evil world. If we could do it on our own, it would be us that deserved the credit. Strombeck's book will show you that you can't be perfect, but you can depend only on the Lord to make your paths straight. Because if you give yourself to Him fully, you will not fall into the pitfalls of the devil.
