The Story of Grace

In The Story of Grace, Horatius Bonar shows how the gospel is an exhibition of God’s love. Sharing the gospel story in a compelling and captivating way, Bonar demonstrates that God has always been a God of grace.

Sin and Holiness

This is as much a book about sin and holiness as it is about grace. I was most interested to read Bonar’s insights as to why God would allow sin to enter the world:

(1) He wished to show us what sin is,
(2) He wished to show the wickedness of the creature,
(3) He wished to show the union between sin and sin,
(4) He wished to show the creature’s helplessness,
(5) He wished to open up His whole character as the infinite Jehovah,
(6) He wished to make creation more immovable.

Lavish and Outlandish Grace

I marveled at how God shows us grace at the cross—how God could love sinners in this way was something totally unthinkable. This book drove my heart to wonder at the lavish and outlandish grace of God.

With a foreword by Sinclair B. Ferguson and a lightly updated text to reflect modern spellings, this book will bring you face to face with the God of grace.
