Overflowing Grace

Why do Christians – even mature Christians – still sin so much? Why doesn't God free us from it? We increasingly become aware of sin in our lives and wonder if God is disappointed with our lack of progress. Where are the joy and peace we read about in the Bible?

Barbara Duguid directs us to the writings of John Newton to teach us God's purpose for our failure and guilt, and to help us adjust our expectations for this life. She approaches us with honesty and empathy to lift our gaze from our own performance to God, who is much greater than our failures – and uses them for His own Glory!

In this refreshing book, you will rediscover the overflowing grace that makes the gospel truly feel like good news!
