buy Grace by Max Lucado

We talk as though we understand the term. The bank gives us a grace period. The seedy politician falls from grace. Musicians speak of a grace note. We describe an actress as gracious, a dancer as graceful. We use the word for hospitals, baby girls, kings, and pre-meal prayers. We talk as though we know what grace means.

But do we really understand it? Have we settled for wimpy grace? It politely occupies a phrase in a hymn, fits nicely on a church sign. Never causes trouble or demands a response. When asked, "Do you believe in grace?" who could say no?

Max Lucado asks a deeper question: Have you been changed by grace? Shaped by grace? Strengthened by grace? Emboldened by grace? Softened by grace? Snatched by the nape of your neck and shaken to your senses by grace?

God's grace has a drenching about it. A wildness about it. A white-water, riptide, turn-you-upside-downness about it. Grace comes after you. It rewires you. From insecure to God secure. From regret riddled to better-because-of-it. From afraid to die to ready to fly.

Grace is the voice that calls us to change and then gives us the power to pull it off. Let's make certain grace gets you.

Maybe something special happened at an event-or on the way there, or on the way home. Were you inspired by one of our speakers to take the next step in your journey of faith? Did your Women of Faith group tackle a new project as a result of something you heard at an event or saw on our Web site? Has one of our books or Bible studies changed your outlook on life?

Whatever your story may be, encourage someone else by sharing it with our community.

Comment from Celebrate What Matters

Been going to WOF for ten years & my 16th WOF event and it has been great every time but just returned from Pittsburgh —Truly the most amazing worship experience I have ever had at WOF!

It was more than I ever could have imagined. It was my first conference. And it made such a impact on my life. I attended the Pittsburgh conference. And I loved every part of it. I was blessed to be a part of such a wonderful weekend!! Thank you to all the speakers!!!
