What is it, in reality, which saves sinners? Who turns the key in the locked door of the human heart? Is it God or man? The answer to this question has profound consequences for evangelizing the world and for lving the Christian life. John Cheeseman shows from Scripture that man's only hope is in the grace of God, that is, the grace of a God who actually does the saving. Saving Grace is the only answer for those who can do nothing to save themselves-and that means everyone. This book is a complete revision of a work originally published by the Trust in 1972 as The Grace of God in the Gospel.

John Cheeseman went to school at Epsom College in Surrey and was converted to the Christian faith at the age of 17 during a Scripture Union houseparty, never having previously attended church or Sunday School. He received his call to the ministry at Oxford University, where he studied Classics.
After a gap year during which he taught English at a North London Comprehensive school, he moved on to Trinity Theological College Bristol, where he studied under Jim Packer and Alec Motyer. But he always says that the best thing he gained from theological college was his wife Joy who was training to be a church pastoral worker.
In 1976 he became assistant minister to Kenneth Prior at Sevenoaks Parish Church and served subsequently at St. John's, Egham, where he was also a chaplain at Royal Holloway College, University of London. He then became Vicar of Christ Church, Leyton in East London (1982-90) and thereafter Vicar of St. James, Westgate-on-Sea in Kent (1990-2001). More recently he has been Vicar of Holy Trinity, Eastbourne (2001-2010), a large town-centre church with a strategic ministry to tourists and holiday makers.
He now concentrates on an itinerant ministry of Bible teaching, and serves as vice-chairman of Church Society and Church Society Trust. John and Joy have three grown-up children Peter, David and Cherry. John is the author of three Christian publications: Saving Grace (1999) and The Priority of Preaching (2006), both published by the Trust, and a book on the life of Elijah, Elijah: Man of fire, Man of faith, published (2011) by Day One in their 'People in the Bible' series. His wider interests include sports (especially cricket), music and reading historical novels and biographies.
