The grace message has often been accused of giving people a license to sin. Grace, however, is not a license. Grace is a leash. Grace will motivate me to do what no list of rules could ever motivate me to do. Grace will also restrain me from doing what no list of rules could restrain me from doing. Grace does not give a person liberty to sin. Grace gives a person freedom to obey. This book will help you appreciate that line in "Amazing Grace" that has been sung so many times: " 'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far, and grace will lead me home." Pastor Manning Strickland is the Senior Pastor of Legacy Outreach in Spartanburg, SC. Pastor Manning's down to earth style and humor makes the Word of God relevant and easy to understand, while at the same time, deep and challenging. Transparency and relationship building are vital focuses of Pastor Manning's ministry. He conducts "Every Man's Battle" conferences and he and his beautiful and loving wife Ann lead marriage seminars in the United States and abroad.
