EBOOK The Grace of Salvation (Beeke & Smalley ed.)

Description

A single beam of God’s grace can fill the soul with awe, wonder, and holy fear. This grace is most brilliantly seen in his work of saving sinners through Jesus Christ. Saving grace displays all the attributes of God. Saving grace creates worshipers. Saving grace sets us free.

Contributors include Michael P. V. Barrett, Joel R. Beeke, Gerald M. Bilkes, Jonathan Gibson, Hensworth W. C. Jonas, David B. McWilliams, Adriaan C. Neele, Paul M. Smalley, and Daniel C. Timmer.
