Are you truly amazed by God‘s grace? Or have you grown accustomed to it? Yes, we sing of God‘s “Amazing Grace,“ but do you truly understand what you as a Christian have experienced in receiving the grace of God? Or do you take divine grace for granted?

In By Grace Alone: How the Grace of God Amazes Me, Dr. Sinclair B. Ferguson laments that “we have lost the joy and energy that is experienced when grace seems truly ‘amazing.‘“ In an effort to restore the wonder of divine grace, he reflects on it from seven angles, each built around a stanza from a rich but little-known hymn, “O How the Grace of God Amazes Me,“ written by Emmanuel T. Sibomana, a pastor in the African nation of Burundi.

This book poses probing questions for today‘s believer: “If I am not amazed by God‘s grace, can I really be living in it? Can I really be tasting, and savoring, and delighting in it?“ But those willing to delve into God‘s Word with Dr. Ferguson will come away with a deeper astonishment at the depths of God‘s grace.

Endorsements

“This is a beautiful book—a providential confluence of two pastors’ hearts (separated by time and culture) on the theme of grace. First, there is the pulsing heart of an obscure African pastor, Emmanuel T. Sibomana, who, many years ago, penned the magnificent seven-stanza hymn ‘O How the Grace of God Amazes Me.’ Then there is the grateful and responsive heart of well-known pastor-theologian Sinclair Ferguson, who has taken the seven dazzling facets of the African hymn and held them up to the manifold light of God’s Word so that they further grace and enlighten our souls. By Grace Alone is a book that will fire your heart.”

—Dr. R. Kent Hughes

“Rich in biblical exposition and in theological depth, By Grace Alone is a series of great messages by one of today’s greatest preachers on some of the greatest Scripture texts—all on one of the greatest themes of the Bible: amazing grace! This book will excite your mind, stir your affection, convict your soul, win your heart, and move you to action. It will evangelize, disciple, and mature all kinds of readers. Dr. Ferguson has given us another feast, and there is food here for all—saved and unsaved, ministers and laypeople, young and old.”

—Dr. Joel R. Beeke
