As is the problem in 2024 generally that within a certain context his review may have grains of truth. Am I biased? Sure. I love the writings of Phillip Yancey. Do I think he is invalibe? Absolutely not. I would be very interested if the author of this review can admit to his biases as this review is not really objective at all and in fact paints a picture of subjectivity motivated by underlying beliefs. It is an essay that demonstrates his belief and is not a balanced commentary on a great book. Like all writings Whats so amazing about grace can be used as motivation for good and bad. In the right context it can challenge the "salvation by works" beliefs many Christians have, with the wrong interpretation it may bolden the person who beliefs "anything goes" For me it was the correct book at the right time. Reading the above has made me more grateful that before that I did read it.

Marriage is ab...I'm not sure my answer applies. Marriage is absolutely a two way street. It can be kept alive by one partner, but to improve/grow it takes both. But let me try to answer anyway.<br /><br />When I was in Bible college a young man a year behind me determined to be my friend. I found him annoying, basically. I ignored him, cut short his attempts at conversation, didn't respond to his overtures of friendship. He didn't care, or didn't seem to care. He pressed ahead. Gradually, like dripping water wears away a stone, he worked on me. Before it was all said and done, he became a dear friend. <br /><br />Persistence. And, of course, prayer. Those would be the two things I would recommend.
