An enlightening treatment of grace and works--concepts that have given rise to heated debates for centuries This is a book about grace, writes Robert L. Millet. This is a book about works. It is, in fact, a book about how 'grace works, ' about the goodness and condescension of a benevolent God, and about the good works that flow from the heart of a person who has been truly changed by Christ.

He points out that, while we must never take our Heavenly Father's loving offer to forgive his children as license to sin wantonly, slack off, or waste time, we also must not frustrate the grace of God (Galatians 2:21) by spurning or failing to appreciate this heavenly gift. Grace Works is an approachable discussion of these much-misunderstood principles and bears stirring witness to the mercy and justice of God.
