"In a world full of achievement, praise, and accolades, we can easily fall into the trap of thinking we can save ourselves and direct our lives with our own actions. But the way of the cross guides us toward a place where we stop striving, stop pushing, and stop self-initiating so that we can fall into the boundless, liberating, refreshing grace of God! New York Times bestselling author and pastor Max Lucado urges us to exchange the pressure of accomplishment for the peace of God s grace. In In the Grip of Grace, Max Lucado will help you: Release a false sense of self-sufficiency. Rest in God s unbending and unending gift of grace. Remember that God is for you and will carry you through every circumstance. Today, leap from the cliff of self-sufficiency. Step out of the gates of legalism. Walk off the pier of guilt and condemnation. That s the only way to land in the strong arms of the Father who loves you . . . the Father who catches you every time in the grip of his grace."
