What’s So Amazing About Grace? Study Guide

Author(s): Philip Yancey
Publisher: Zondervan
Price: $0.99 (Ends Sept 1)

We speak of grace often. But do we understand it? More important, do we truly believe in it . . . and do our lives proclaim it as powerfully as our words? In What’s So Amazing About Grace?, award-winning author Philip Yancey explores grace at street level.

If grace is God’s love for the undeserving, he asks, then what does it look like in action? And if Christians are its sole dispensers, then how are we doing at lavishing grace on a cruel and pain-filled world?

In fourteen sessions, this study guide will help you to interact deeply with Yancey’s most personal and provocative book yet. If you’re willing to leave your comfort zone to embrace a more vigorous, passionate Christianity–read on. And prepare to grapple with grace and “un-grace” on a personal level.

You’ll consider how you can contend graciously with today’s tough moral issues. And you’ll discover how you can become Christ’s answer to a world that desperately wants to know, What’s So Amazing About Grace?

Prayer: Does It Make Any Difference?

Author(s): Philip Yancey
Publisher: Zondervan
Price: $1.99 (Dec 9 Only)

Philip Yancey probes the very heartbeat of our relationship with God: prayer. What is prayer? Does it change God’s mind or ours or both? This book is an invitation to communicate with God the Father who invites us into an eternal partnership through prayer.

Polls reveal that 90 percent of people pray. Yet prayer, which should be the most nourishing and uplifting time of the believer’s day, can also be frustrating, confusing, and fraught with mystery.

Writing as a fellow pilgrim, bestselling author Philip Yancey probes such questions as:

Is God listening?
Why should God care about me?
If God knows everything, what’s the point of prayer?
Why do answers to prayer seem so inconsistent?
Why does God sometimes seem close and sometimes seem far away?
How can I make prayer more satisfying?
In this powerful read, Yancey tackles the tough questions and, in the process, comes up with a fresh new approach to this timeless topic.

“I have learned to pray as a privilege, not a duty,” he says, and he invites you to join him on this all-important journey.

The Bible Jesus Read: Why the Old Testament Matters

Author(s): Philip Yancey
Publisher: Zondervan
Price: $1.99 (Feb 11 Only)

Philip Yancey has a way of confronting our most cherished–but misguided–notions about the Christian life. In The Bible Jesus Read, Yancey challenges the perception that the New Testament is more important than the Old, that the Hebrew Scriptures aren’t worth the time they take to read and understand them. Writing as always with keen insight into the human condition and God’s provision for it, Yancey debunks this theory once and for all. Yes, he agrees, the Old Testament can be baffling, boring, and even offensive to the modern reader. But as he personally discovered, the Old Testament is full of rewards for the one who embraces its riches.

With his candid, signature style, Yancey unfolds his interactions with the Old Testament from the perspective of his own deeply personal journey. From Moses, the amazing prince of Egypt, to the psalmists’ turbulent emotions and the prophets’ oddball rantings, Yancey paints a picture of Israel’s God–and ours–that fills in the blanks of a solely New Testament vision of the Almighty.
