Christmas is the season of giving, so next week I plan to send Escape to Reality subscribers a special gift. It’s a little something I think you will love. (Not a subscriber? Sign up now. It’s free!)
In the meantime, here are five grace-based gifts you may want to get for all the wonderful people in your life.
1. The perfect gift for someone new to grace
The Gospel in Ten Words is the book I recommend to new believers and people who are starting out in grace. In a word, it’s about the believer’s identity. In Christ, you are holy, righteous, royal, and so much more.
The Gospel in Ten Words is an invitation to return to the unmixed and liberating gospel of Christ. The book is available in several languages, and with the free study guide it’s a great resource for your small group.
What readers are saying: “The Gospel in Ten Words is breath of fresh air and liberation.” “Will help you unlock God’s love and full provision in Christ.” “Next to the Bible, the best book I’ve read.”
2. The perfect gift for the visual learner
Stuff Jesus Never Said is full of paintings and drawings from the great masters and Bible illustrators. This award-winning book draws a line between what you may have heard and what Jesus actually said.
Stuff Jesus Never Said shatters the myth of the angry, fault-finding God and celebrates the God that Christ revealed—a God who wants you to prosper and live well.
What readers are saying: “This book made me laugh and cry.” “All I can say is WOW! I am only on page 44 and it has already brought healing and freedom.” “A must for anyone who is confused about who Jesus is and what he stands for.”
3. The perfect gift for your Mom, wife and daughter
In The Silent Queen, I tackle tough questions like these: Should women stay silent in church? What did Jesus think about women in leadership? Should women submit to male leaders? Is infidelity the only excuse for divorce? Are wives really helpmates? Why should you never compare yourself or your wife to the excellent woman of Proverbs 31? This multi-award-winning book demolishes the lies that keep women silent and sidelined.
What readers are saying: “A critical and essential masterpiece.” “A book of our shared future – male and female. I loved this book, and I know you will too!” “Should be required reading in every bible school.”
4. The perfect gift for the Bible student or pastor
If you have ever asked, “How do I read scripture through a New Covenant lens?” The Grace Bible is for you. With five books in the series already published and two more available for pre-order, this is the perfect gift for those who are stumped by “tricky” scriptures and hard questions.
What readers are saying: “A tool I wish I had 25 years ago!” “By far the best commentary Bible.” “Finally, a study Bible that stays faithful to scripture and true to the gospel of grace.”
5. The perfect gift for someone who wants to leave a legacy
For the first time, you can gift a Patreon membership to your friends, family, or pastor. Your recipient will get instant access to all sorts of goodies (e.g., classic sermons, study notes, advance chapters) and bonus materials. Best of all, you will be supporting the creation of grace-based resources such as Escape to Reality and the Grace Commentary.
Of course, if you want to support the grace message yourself, you can become part of the awesome Grace Commentary support team here.
Happy Christmas!
