Summary: Describes the "Normal Christian Life"
Review: A must read. A compliation of all the "Grace" authors. This should be the first book any new Christian should read. May ruffle some feathers.

Summary: My Life Has Been Changed By These Truths!
Review: After having been a Christian for 29 years and a pastor for 17 years, God brought me to the place where I began to enjoy life in a greater way than I had ever known. Grace Walk is the story of my own journey from legalism into grace. It is a biblical teaching about the identity of the believer with the central theme being that Christ is Life. The book is written for any Christian who has a desire to experience greater victory. I'm just a regular guy to whom God has graciously revealed the truth which the Apostle Paul called "the mystery of the gospel." I guarantee that when you read Grace Walk, you will discover truths which can cause you to experience "what you've always wanted in the Christian life." That's not a sales pitch, but the testimony of a man who has experienced it first hand.

Summary: Hope for the hopeless (and hopeful!) ...
Review: At the time that my church offered this book, I was in fervent prayer that God reveal to me the answers of another failed relationship I had been partnered in. I had begun taking assessments of every aspect of my actions! I read many different titles dealing with relationships. Brother Steve McVey's "Grace Walk" was NOT the answer I had anticipated. But I chose to pick up this book and quickly looked it over. Since the book's back cover states that, "Nothing you have ever done, nothing you could ever do, will match the incomparable joy of letting Jesus live His life through you." and feeling that I had sincerely done MY best to see the relationship succeed, I went home and began to eagerly devour the pages to find a sense of "self-righteousness" along with "self-preservation" with regards to my abilities while involved with my "ex". What I found was an easy to read and easy to comprehend source of information that EXPOSED the exact problems that "I" have struggled with for so many "Christ-served" years. OUCH!! I was confident that I had learned the proper "love-languages" necessary for success in the relationship, and spoke them with great ease! (Maybe too much ease, as you will see!) For this behavior gave way to what is described in the book as "An Attitude of Independence." A self-serving style of thinking that gave birth to specific sins in my life! I became overwhelmed with a "service approach" to the relationship and became delusional in believing that "I" was the one who controlled the continuation of the partnership, solely by my service to her. I asked myself afterwards, "How could this have turned "south" if I was serving her needs to the letter?" Simply put, I had forgotten the One who had brought us together in the first place! Although I was taking an active role in deeds to Him, and I was being the Christian I "thought" I was supposed to be, I STILL felt like a failure! After reading this book, my eyes have been opened to the realization that the success or failure in everything I choose to be a part of is ALWAYS in His hands and NEVER in mine! And now as I allow Christ to live "through" me, He is giving me victories that make all previous accomplishments seem mediocre in comparison! Thank you Brother McVey, for being in a place that allowed God to use you to minister to the cries for exposure and resolution within my heart! And YES, I highly recommend it to anyone who is struggling with the emptiness associated with "serving" the needs of other's! Peace!

Summary: Christian are you tired of being tired?
Review: Dr. McVey explains the difference between legalism and grace. Ephesians 2:8-10 "For by grace are ye saved through faith;...it is the gift of God...for we are His workmanship....we should walk in them." If I am saved by grace, can I live also by grace? Dr. McVeys own life demonstrates that the "Grace Walk" is possible. In this book, Dr. McVey explains how this walk, this abiding in Christ, is obtainable here and now. Dr. McVey is an encouragement to me and to all who have lived or are living under rules, "law" or legalism. Thank you Dr. McVey for freedom. Freedom to love God and people. Freedom to allow God and people to love me.

Summary: Finally, someone gets it right!!
Review: For years, I've been frustrated by those who will take the life of the Spirit only so far and won't commit in their writings to the absolute truth. Steve McVey takes that truth all the way to its conclusion. We are indeed absolutely free in Christ and only He can live His life through us . . . after all, it is His life!! If you haven't fully understood the walk of grace from God's word, perhaps the Holy Spirit can use this book to open your eyes to the wonderful truth.

Summary: Simply one of the best, most life impacting books I've read.
Review: Grace Walk is one of several books, and authors that God used to set me free on the inside and transform my life on the outside; for the first time in over forty years, the inside and outside match up pretty close, as the masks fell away. McVey simply tells the story of his own life, emptiness and frustrations- Good works don't produced contentment, joy or peace, even for pastors, when done out of a must do for God mentality. The bottom line comes down to realizing that God loves you, dearly loves you, exactly as you are, warts and all, and that nothing you can do will cause Him to love you any more, or cause Him to love you any less. Just Loved and accepted. Simple and Profound- God's unconditional love - God's Unmerited Favor - God's Grace. The basis of a Peace Filled, Grace Full Walk. Greatly misunderstood in the body, and a foundation stone and requisite for the overflowing, victorious life that Christ spoke of. Thank you Steve for writing a life changer.

Summary: Life Changing!
Review: I cannot recommend this book highly enough. This book has changed my life and how I view the Christian life. This book has helped me to be set free from the bondage of legalism and the incredibly frustrating and exhausting cycle of trying and failing. For a long time, I felt that God was always disappointed in me and that no matter how much I did, it was never enough. This book has also helped me realize that I was trying to live the Christian life through self-effort. This book also helped me to realize that I should be doing Christian things like reading the Bible, going to church etc, because I want to. Not because I feel like I have to. This book has lifted a huge weight off my shoulders and my heart. If you feel trapped in the cycle of trying and failing, like I was, read this book. Steve is very vulnerable about his own struggles in this area. This book is a breath of fresh air and will change your life. This book will also help you to understand that you are not alone in your struggles. Others have been through the same thing. It will also remind you that God cares and understands.
