Red Like Grace: A Review

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me; words penned by John Newton so long ago. Yet everyone is still trying to define the word grace. Joe Coffey and Bob Bevington step beyond defining grace by showing what grace looks like. Red Like Blood, Confrontations With Grace is aptly titled.


AMAZING GRACE; TWO PERSPECTIVES


Red Like Blood, Confrontations With Grace is a book about grace from the perspective of two very different men. One man is a pastor and the other man is not unlike all of us, a sinner.


Joe Coffey and Bob Bevington each share their view of grace from stories of their own personal lives and from stories of many people they have encountered. These stories combine to form a message that true grace will confront brokenness, heartache, and despair.


WHAT IT DOES FOR ME


Maybe the best way to understand true grace is to see it in action. The manner and perspectives presented in Red Like Blood, Confrontations With Grace do precisely that. Seeing grace in action through the words of two men from very different life experiences is inspiring. The material is presented in a conversation-like manner and is very readable and easy to understand. Seeing grace confront brokenness in their words makes the meaning of grace easier to grasp.


I found myself relating to many of the stories shared by authors Joe Coffey and Bob Bevington. I have been in the position time and again to confront brokenness and sin with grace. Many times I had to put the book down and ask God to forgive me for blowing it when I had opportunities to extend grace. Grace should be a natural extension from me for being one who has received so much grace.


I RECOMMEND IT


Red Like Blood, Confrontations With Grace is raw and sometimes brutal, but it's real. It's real-life situations where only true grace could prevail to overcome what may have turned into disastrous endings. If you are ready to have a confrontation with grace, then read this book. I recommend it. Then do it, extend grace.
