Synopsis

A New View on the Old Rugged Cross
 
 
Are peace, joy, and significance on your wish list?  How about redemption, forgiveness, the salvation of your soul?  Each of these descriptors bring us to the main event:  grace.  Saving grace, God’s immeasurable gift intended for all.  Regardless of accomplishments or station in life, despite sins of the past, anyone can receive the free gift of grace.
Yet too often we take God’s incomparable gift for granted—despite the fact that God’s very Son paid for it with his body, breath, and blood. Understandably, we often find ourselves caught up in the daily routine of life, not taking time to reflect on the enormity of God’s mercy.
So here’s a suggestion:  give yourself the gift of a few moments spent in the world of God’s grace.  Read pastor Max Lucado’s unique, stirring insights into God’s role as grace-giver. Spend some time reflecting on the gift of grace, in all its magnificent meaning. 
Let grace, the gift for all people, speak to you personally through these pages.
 
 

For All People—Even You
 
God loves you more than you can imagine.
 
Is that hard to believe?   Many of us consider ourselves unworthy due to past sins and mistakes, wrong turns and missteps.,
But God’s gift of grace is limitless.  Though we are undeserving, he offers grace.  Though we are weak in our faith, he extends strength through grace. God’s endless grace is a free gift.  It cannot be earned. 
No matter who you are or what you’ve done, the all-powerful God waits for you to choose him, to choose life in his presence—here and in heaven.
 
 
 “[God] simply wants you home with him. And to bring you home, he offers you a gift. My prayer is that through these pages you’ll see his gift like you’ve never seen it. If you’ve already accepted it, you’ll thank him again. And if you’ve never accepted it, you will. For it’s the gift of a lifetime, a gift for all people.”

About this title

Review:

Max Lucado, one of America's most popular Christian writers, has assembled more than 30 of his most inspirational essays in The Gift for All People. Each brief chapter offers a lesson for Christian living based on biblical Scripture. For example, in the chapter titled "Grace Means..." Lucado extracts the phrase, "If God is for us, who can be against us?" (Romans 8:31). This means "God is for you," he goes on to explain. "Had he a calendar your birthday would be circled. If he drove your car, your name would be on his bumper. If there's a tree in heaven, he's carved your name in the bark." In knowing this truth, Lucado asks, "Could death harm you now? Can disease rob your life.... You are protected. God is for you. And that's what grace means." The pages of this book are filled with words of reassurance such as these, offering steadfast comfort to numerous Christian fans. This book also comes in a gift set with a musical CD and elegant cross.
