Speechless

Summary: wonderful book
Review: I am a big fan of SCC, so of course I'm going to buy this book. Though the sections that SCC wrote were very good, I found the sections that Scotty Smith wrote rather disturbing. I agree with the guy just below me from Glendale, AZ. Scotty holds the grace of God far too loosely. He seems to feel that the death of Jesus gave us a license to sin rather than the grace and mercy to overcome it. I was rather disappointed with this book and I hope that SCC doesn't fully feel the same way about God's grace as Scotty does.

Summary: Awe inspiring Grace!!
Review: I had never heard of Scotty Smith and have never bought any of Steven's music. I have no idea why I even bought this book! But, I soon found out that the lessons Steven and Scotty have learned, the intimacy they have with God, the seasons of doubt they've experienced, and the freedom in God they've developed are for all of us. I have more of a sense of obedience to God, appreciation for his never ending grace and a healthy sense of His awesome holiness, than I ever had before. I want to walk closer, listen harder and love my Lord greater than I ever have before - and I can. It's hard to verbalize what I gained from this book, but I have internalized it and it is a tremendous blessing to have the help of these two Godly men who speak so freely and openly to us from their heart. I'm grateful for their struggles and their victories and even more grateful that they love us enough to transparently share it.

Summary: How Then Shall We Live?
Review: This book will answer that question. Scotty Smith, SCC's pastor and mentor, explains that we are all sinners, and despite that, God loves us all. As a former Pharisee, he can say with confidence that it's ok to have struggles, questions and doubts. He tells us of his long wrestling match with marital strife in the chapter "Foolishness, Figleaves, and a Father's Love". SCC puts in his two cents at the beginning of each chapter. in the final chapter, "Living in the Light of Heaven", he shatters our pathetic veiws of heaven in favor of a new, wondrous, incredible vision of eternal paradise. Such are the highlights of the book, in my opinion. Anyone who loves SCC as I do will enjoy it even more.

Summary: An amazing book about Gods grace and love for us
Review: This is a different book from others. Both Scotty and Steven share their hear in a wonderful way, for instance about hard times when they have experienced Gods grace. I have never read any books where the authors have been so honest and personal about their lives. This book has challenged me in my life, as well as get on my knees crying out to God for a change in my life. I am familiar with lots of the stories and I am gratefeul that they have shared their hear in such a personal way. I recommend this book to everyone who really wants to be challenged. Be blessed.

Summary: I Don't Get It...
Review: What's with those reviewers stating that Scotty Smith takes the grace of God as a license to sin? If you agree with them, PLEASE cite examples. I am troubled by these accusations, which seem to me to be unfounded.
