Two men...seventeen centuries apart...similar stories. In Captured By Grace Dr. Jeremiah vividly and effectively uses the lives of Paul the Apostle and John Newton to illustrate the unstoppable, life-changing power of grace. These two men were the kind of hardened, surly characters we love to hate, but the fascinating story lines of their lives show how each one was "hunted down" by God's amazing grace.
Although I've never been a slave trader or church persecutor, I have most definitely been a hardened sinner, now captured by the love of God. For all believers, grace is an astonishing gift. Dr. Jeremiah writes, "Grace is shocking...grace is the delivery of a jewel that nobody ordered, a burst of light in a room where everyone forgot it was dark."
Beyond the converting power of grace, Jeremiah teaches plainly and simply how God's grace is sufficient for the present as well as the future. It encourages, humbles and gives hope.
Captured By Grace is sound doctrine comfortably clothed in encouraging, pastoral exhortation.
