I am currently reading an excellent book by John Ensor called The Great Work of the Gospel: How We Experience God’s Grace. This is an excellent work on how the transforming work of the Gospel is experienced and how we are to comprehend and apprehend God’s grace.
In celebration of passover week, I will be posting a review of this book in the form of a series of quotes about and from the book. I hope this will whet your appetite for the book far better than any review I could put together.
Starting out, here is a quote from John Piper in the forward to The Great Work of the Gospel:
The Great Work of the Gospel is God-centered good news. It is the kind of message that will make deep, strong people and deep, strong churches. It will release people from the self-absorbed rationalizations that keep us from the fullest engagement in the global cause of God. So I am hopeful that for God’s sake the gladness on the other side of guilt will also be the gladness of the nations–in God.
