“This is a fascinating collection of essays from different theological perspectives that will help Christians understand more deeply what it means that they are eternally secure in Christ, and how that belief has significant application to daily life.”
—Wayne Grudem, Distinguished Research Professor of Theology and Biblical Studies, Phoenix Seminary
“How do people wanting to follow Christ apply such an important concept as God’s grace to everyday life? Michael Maness and Kevaughn Mattis have brought together biblical scholars and practitioners to address this very question. The result is an excellent work of ‘praxi-doxy’—that beautiful marriage of Christian living with orthodox theology. Highly recommended.”
—Sandra Glahn, professor of media arts and worship, Dallas Theological Seminary, and author of the Coffee Cup Bible Study series
“This is Protestant ecumenism at its best, an Augustinian unity on the essentials and yet freedom in the nonessentials. The book showcases a spectrum of theological denominations and traditions, but all firmly rooted on a common cause: not just the amazingness of grace but its economic realities. The breadth of concrete application to contemporary issues is extremely satisfying. So it goes to show that the gospel is not just about ‘Jesus died for your sins,’ but the kingdom of God is truly, comprehensively ‘Jesus is Lord of everything.’”
—Allen Yeh, professor of intercultural studies and missiology, Biola University, and member, Board of Trustees, Foundation for Theological Education in Southeast Asia
