Christians trying to model their lives after Jesus may find that He gets buried under lists, rules, and formulas. Now bestselling author Randy Alcorn offers a simple two-point checklist for Christlikeness based on John 1:14. The test consists of balancing grace and truth, equally and unapologetically. Grace without truth deceives people, and ceases to be grace. Truth without grace crushes people, and ceases to be truth. Alcorn shows the reader how to show the world Jesus -- offering grace instead of the world's apathy and tolerance, offering truth instead of the world's relativism and deception.

Grace or Truth?or Both?

Truth without grace breeds self-righteousness and crushing legalism.

Grace without truth breeds deception and moral compromise.

Is it possible to embrace both in balance?

Jesus did.

Randy Alcorn offers a simple yet profound two-point checklist of Christlikeness. ?In the end,? says Alcorn, ?we don?t need grace or truth. We need grace and truth. And for people to see Jesus in us, they must see both.?

The Truth...

An awesome book that brings truth and grace together. Those that debate the issues of grace and works really need to read this book. It leaves no question and give lots of insights!!

Gracious truth telling and Truthful grace giving!

This book spells it out for us! It has shed light on the the inner dilema: I want the world to know that Jesus Christ is Lord--He is a Holy God and we have sinned against Him!!! We need to be Saved by His only Son Jesus Christ!!!! I want to shout it from the roof tops....BUT what if people feel judged? What if they can't handle the truth? They don't need someone telling them they are bad..their self-esteem is already low....We should love them and let them know that God forgives them and offers his grace and mercy....We need both TRUTH and GRACE we must stand for BOTH ---it can be done through CHRIST! "I can do all things through Christ Who Strengthens Me!" PHIL 4:13 This book flawlessly tells the Church--the Body of Christ---how to stand firm on both principles! A must read for every believer and nonbeliever--A light bulb will go off in your head and you will know how to be SALT & LIGHT! Thank you Lord for using Randy to wake up us ALL!

Little Book, Big Message

The message here in this little book has a powerful impact. Alcorn in a very concise way hits the nail on the head when describing the balance needed between grace and truth. This book would be a great gift for a new believer, or for a seasoned saint. It's definitely a keeper!

Relevant and Readable

Jesus was full of grace and truth. We should seek to be full of grace and truth. This is the simple and profound message of Randy Alcorn's book, the Grace and Truth Paradox. This matter of grace and truth is at the heart of many of the difficulties of the church. Some people have been burned by churches that were so "truth-oriented" that they came up short in love and compassion. Other churches are so "grace-oriented" that truth is compromised so that the true purposes of the church dissolve into a muddled sentimentality. We need both, as churches and as Christians. Jesus was full of grace and truth, by His power we can come to appreciate both and live by both.
