Summary: Enlightening
Review: Believing In Christ is one thing. Author Robinson shows how our belief is often tainted by self-doubt. Do we really believe that Christ, in His infinite atonement, reaches down and saves us from the consequences of our sins?Our efforts to keep the commandments, to be nice to others and be good don't "qualify" us for God's salvation. Only Jesus makes up the difference we could never repay. The miracle is that His grace has paid the price for all of us. The difference comes in our acceptance of His grace. This book is an inspiration to me. I hope you will find it valuable too.

Summary: makes life and the gospel make sense
Review: I had a real hard time with The Miracle of Forgiveness, and this book was recomended to me by a friend. Nothing has made the atonement of Christ more clear. Although it uses a lot of LDS scripture, I believe a lot of people from other faiths would find this a good read. I enjoyed it, and I'm far from the cookie cutter Utah Mormon. It's definately worth the time to pick up and study.

Summary: A clear explanation of grace and the atonement of Christ.
Review: I originally resisted reading this book, as I considered it to be a fad within the Mormon culture. However, upon reading this book, I found it to be an incredibly profound, encouraging, and uplifting work. Stephen E. Robinson explains clearly the concepts of salvation through grace; Christ's atonement; and our need not to be perfect, but just to be doing the best we can with what we are and what we have. It has helped me to believe Christ, not just believe in Him. I would recommend Believing Christ to readers of any faith

Summary: The dichotomy of perfection
Review: We should never take comfort in rationalizing our weaknesses, suggesting a little sin is ok: a little pornography, a little immorality, a little lie, and a little murder. God forbid that we ever become ashamed or discouraged, at our desire to stand blameless before God. We must turn to God, repenting of our sins, and avoid rationalizing weakness by reducing God's expectations for us. The dichotomy becomes no unclean thing can enter into the kingdom of God; and, one must be perfect to enter back into the kingdom. So, when man sins, he falls short of the glory of God. Therefore, we must cast off sin, resist the devil, and bring about much righteous of our own free will and choice. Remember, death and sin were overcome by the grace of Christ.
