I recommend Philip Yancey's book: What's so amazing about Grace and Terry Virgo's: Gods Lavish Grace.

I've read that one by P.Yancey and liked it a lot (as the rest of his books I've read).
I think it's easy to misunderstand grace or not to see it in it's full greatness, because it's not our human quality and it's so good it's just unbelievable sometimes (or should I say most of the time).

God's grace is unmerited or unearned favor. Under the Old Covenant we have to do and obey the law to receive God's blessings. Under the New Covenant we just have to believe to receive all the blessings Christ has won for us on the cross. So the saying it is not by works but by grace.

GOD's grace is one of the hardest but yet easiest things to understand. It is easiest since it is give freely to those who receive it but yet it hard to receive it with out humbling ourselves. I know I understand GOD's grace but do not humble myself to it.

Christians believe that Jesus was the 'ONLY' SON of GOD (The CHRIST)...
WRONG!!!, WRONG!!!, WRONG!!!
All Human beings are the Son's/Daughter's of what you call GOD (The Universe).
The man referred to as Jesus (Actual Name - Yeshua), was A Son of GOD, not THE ONLY Son of GOD...
You are your own Messiah - Save yourself!
