Representaion Supposing Books If God Is Love: Rediscovering Grace in an Ungracious World (Grace Series #2)

If God is love, why are so many Christians fearful, and why do so many church leaders sound hateful? Two controversial pastors address issues the church won′t face, calling us to restore grace as the center of the Christian life.

o In If Grace Is True, Pastors Philip Gulley and James Mulholland revealed their belief that God will save every person. They now explore the implications of this belief, and its power to change every area of our lives. They attempt to answer one question: If we took God′s love seriously, what would our world look like?

Gulley and Mulholland argue that what we believe is crucial and dramatically affects the way we live and interact in the world. Beliefs have power. The belief in a literal hell where people suffer eternally has often been used by the Church to justify hate and violence, which contradicts what Jesus taught about love and grace. The authors present a new vision for our personal, religious, and corporate lives, exploring what our world would be like if we based our existence on the foundational truth that God loves every person.

Gulley and Mulholland boldly address many controversial issues people in the pews have wondered about but churches have been unwilling to tackle. For too long, the Christian tradition has been steeped in negativity, exclusion, and judgment. Gulley and Mulholland usher us into a new age--an age where grace and love are allowed to reign.

Judgment Regarding Books If God Is Love: Rediscovering Grace in an Ungracious World (Grace Series #2)

This is one of the best books I have completed in a LONG time. The ideas presented in this book changed perceptions I had about life. The ideas also gave me a new direction on a number of issues. I got to meet him over the summer and got to chat with him for an hour or two and it was sweet. When I finished this book I knew I would pick it up and read it again.

I read this book when I first entered my divinity school experience and thought the premise interesting but did not, by and large, accept the premise. I had hope for universal salvation, and had been thinking on these things largely because of my love for Origen, but still found this book largely unsettling yet extremely valuable because it was so very unsettling - what Gulley had said about the dichotomous way of thinking that many of us in the church are raised with is absolutely true. Now a

I'm still trying to wrap my mind around the idea that God will redeem everyone, and I may never get there. However I do whole-heartedly agree with the intrinsic value of every human and I loved the challenging and thought provoking conclusions that these authors took me to.

I read this book a part of a discussion group. For those who want to talk about dualism, human bias, LGBTQ acceptance, response to the 9/11 attacks, effects of prosperity ministry and many other discussion worthy topics, this was a good book to get that started. I found myself agreeing with many of the authors points of view yet not everyone shares that.

I found this book refreshing. It renewed my faith. Addressed so many questions I had all my life, but was always too afraid to ask.

It is one thing, and not a very difficult thing to crituque the misdirection of the church and religion in general, but quite another to reveal a better way to live. This was a very provocative and accessible read to a new way to live out your faith and what it could mean to be a follower of Christ and bring the Kingdom of God to the here and now.

WWJD. What would Jesus do in a given circumstance? I dont know, but he seemed to always seek the gracious way. Gulley and Mulholland have really done a great job of stretching my mind, helping me to truly understand a new level of grace. So much so that I feel myself putting it into practice, almost without thought at times. Not necessarily thinking what would Jesus do, but thinking more about the power of grace and the freedom that it can bring. Once youll read, youll understand.😊
