A Gift of Grace

What a gift we have received in the Lord Jesus Christ! Ephesians 2:8 tells us, "For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God." God's grace granted us the faith to believe in Jesus Christ as our one and only Savior, giving us the only prerequisite necessary to eternal life with Him. By God's grace we are made able to believe, and by God's grace we are then saved through the gift of faith.

Both faith and grace are gifts of God in the myriad of gifts He generously distributes. Author Amy Clipston uses her amazing gift of storytelling to tell about a gracious gift of another kind in A Gift of Grace. Another book in the Amish Fiction genre, this story pulls at the heartstrings of belonging, beliefs, culture and values. Instant motherhood and a clash of cultures makes this new book a fun fiction read for the Christian fiction enthusiast, like my dear friend Glenda who can hardly put it down. Enjoyable and tender, this is sure to be a favorite for years to come.
