"By Grace Alone" by Sinclair B.Ferguson

"By Grace Alone" by Sinclair B.Ferguson

This book is quite short at just 118 pages (I read it in 48 hours). It doesn't say anything that anyone with any basic knowledge of Christianity won't know. And the structure of the book follows an African hymn that I have never heard of ("O How The Grace Of God Amazes Me" - am I alone in that?). Yet I would still encourage anyone to read it. Why?

"Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you."

1 Corinthians 15:1

It is good to be reminded of the gospel! The truths that Ferguson speaks of are eternal, central, and crucial! With this central theme of grace, he draws out the implications, looking at freedom, unconditional love, the costly nature of God's love, the free righteousness given to us, the security given to us, and the freedom from the bondage of sin.

There was nothing I disagreed with in this book. There were some good examples from culture, and some sound biblical analysis (particularly of Romans 6 regarding freedom from sin, and the story of the Prodigal Son). A good read to remind ourselves of great truths!

8/10.
