Craig Evans beautifully describes the thread of grace woven through Scripture. The tapestry he depicts celebrates the powerful restoration that grace-filled forgiveness creates. Not only are we to revel in this reality, but Evans challenges us to respond to an angry world as the Lord responds to us. Grace received becomes grace reciprocated. This timely book of meditations reminds us that God does not need perfect people to accomplish his restoration plan. He desires warriors of grace.

--Mark Yarbrough, president, Dallas Theological Seminary

Written in easily accessible prose, this book of meditations on divine grace highlights the less obvious ways that this theme permeates the whole of Scripture. God's grace finds its intended recipients--the sinners Adam and Eve, the scoundrel Jacob, the mean brothers of Joseph, the barren Hannah, the widow Naomi, the idolatrous Israelites, the adulterer and murderer David, the prodigal son, and many more. Each chapter closes with reflections and study questions. There is no more learned resource for private devotional and group Bible study on grace in the Bible than this book by premier New Testament scholar, Craig Evans.

--Judith M. Gundry, research scholar, Yale University

This book is a gift! Evans brings his vast biblical knowledge to bear on the Bible's most important theme: grace. From the story of creation, through the patriarchs, the history of Israel, the ministry of Jesus, and the age of the apostles, he traces the golden thread of God's mercy, favor, and love. And he challenges Christians to embody that same grace towards others. Deep wisdom is found in this short book.
