The grace awakening by Charles R Swindoll( Book )

21 editions published between 1990 and 2016 in 4 languages and held by 1,169 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

Chuck Swindoll takes aim at the enemies of God's grace. The target may surprise you. "Grace killers" are everywhere! We find them where we work. In our neighborhoods. Maybe in our own homes. And sadly, even in our churches. We're surrounded by people who criticize, condemn, and crush any hope of joyful living. And as Chuck Swindoll boldly points out, many of the very people who should be spreading the gospel of grace have instead become self-righteous bullies and self-appointed judges. In what may be his most profound book yet, Chuck Swindoll pulls no punches. The Grace Awakening is daring, discerning. And very much on target. But above all, it is a book of hope, leading us beyond the frustration and guilt of trying to please others to the charming, liberating grace of God. For the growing number of people who feel that life should be more than grim-faced religion, The Grace Awakening offers a glorious alternative: the truth that sets us free. - Jacket

Jospeh's pardon of his cruel brothers demonstrates the depth of love God has for all of us
