Exactly B. I think that this book is more relevant to a crisis. And it is a book that can be reread or even better read one story at the time. I think one doesn't have to read the whole book to understand it or get the meaning of it...and overall, the comfort that the message of the book provides.B Creech wrote: ↑25 May 2020, 01:31 I absolutely loved "The Shack!" It is one of the best books I've ever read! However, in a crisis I would prefer to read "Grace Revealed." For me, "The Shack" was more about one central character in search of finding out if God is real. In "Grace Revealed" there are stories about different people that share their experiences. The stories remind you that you are not alone as far as difficult situations in lif, and can help you get refocused. Both books show God's grace.

Examples of situations to identify with made the former distinct from the later. From the look of things here both books are valuable to me being a religious personAntonelaMaria wrote: ↑23 May 2020, 09:07 I don't know why would we even compare them? Both seem very subjective to the reader. It is how you perceive them. I like the diverse topics in this book. For me personally The Shak was more about grief and closure and God's existence...whereas here we have much more situation to identity with. Nevertheless, I would recommend both.

Yes, I believe so too. They are both valuable. I wouldn't want to compare them at all. You never know which book will resonate more with someone.Sunday diamond wrote: ↑25 May 2020, 10:54Examples of situations to identify with made the former distinct from the later.

Yes, this book can definitely be a re-read for any situation, if one is in crisis or just to pick it up and re-read to remind oneself of what God can and will do for them!AntonelaMaria wrote: ↑25 May 2020, 09:51Exactly B.

I would recommend this book instead of The Shack. Although The Shack is a feel-good movie (I haven't read the book.), I found some issues with some of the scriptural truths it put forth. I think that Grace and Mercy would be an excellent book for people to read, whether they are currently in crisis or have experienced a crisis in their past.MorganKnightOfficial wrote: ↑23 May 2020, 07:42 This book, in the sense that "grace and mercy" is a large theme in the book, reminded me a lot of "The Shack", as both books deal with God's grace and redemption, as well as finding God within a crisis.
Do you agree? And which one of these books would you rather read during a crisis?
You can spend your time however you want, but you can spend it only once.

Yeah, because we often need that reminder. Especially when things are going well. Until we "need" God. All these stories are great way to get a perspective on our own life. It truly is a beautiful book. I was wondering did this author has more books?B Creech wrote: ↑25 May 2020, 13:32Yes, this book can definitely be a re-read for any situation, if one is in crisis or just to pick it up and re-read to remind oneself of what God can and will do for them!AntonelaMaria wrote: ↑25 May 2020, 09:51Exactly B.
