Waiting, Watching, Longing
Grace: Uncovered, Unfiltered, Undeserved by Rod Parsley is a powerful yet easily accessible book that examines our relationship with God by studying the precepts of law and grace. There is much sound teaching, delving into the Bible and extrapolating familiar passages. There are also quotes from famous people as well as examining lives such as Martin Luther in detail.
The book opens with a modern retelling of The Prodigal Son. We see that both sons were separated from the father’s will. “The older son was also separated from his father by demanding that everyone else meet standards that his father never required.” How often do we misinterpret God’s standards when projecting them on others?
