RD Norman writes as someone who longs for others to taste the saving grace of God. Searching for words to describe God’s grace, he goes beyond ‘amazing’ to call grace ‘phenomenal.’ This book is all about how God saves us. Who is this God who saves us, and what does God do in order to save us? Taking these two questions in tandem, Norman looks at salvation from three points of view — what God the Father does, what God the Son does, and what God the Holy Spirit does.
In a brief and accessible way, Phenomenal Grace presents salvation as something that originates in God’s eternal purpose, is obtained by Jesus, the divine Son, and reaches particular fallen sinners by the irresistible work of the Holy Spirit. It touches on profound theological truths as well as very practical questions such as the experience of salvation. Continually, Norman invites and encourages us to join in adoring worship of such a gracious God.
