Apunta't a LibraryThing per saber si aquest llibre et pot agradar. No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. I found this book on a Borders liquidation sale shelf. I picked it up for a couple bucks and have been meaning to read it out of curiosity's sake and see if it really was a bunch of heresy or if there was anything salvageable about it. What is unfortunate for Borders bookstore became my own good fortune. Now that I have a "Summer Break" from school, I decided to give it a read. Visit my blog for the rest of my review. http://jmnz.us/LhaL8O I quite like this witty and honest son of Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker and admire his Revolution ministry. In this book Jay Bakker focuses on grace vs. religious law particularly as written in Paul's letters with a special focus on Galatians. His passion for conveying that God's grace through Jesus's death is yours no matter what you've done or will do is evident in every word he writes. I highly recommend this book to the believer and doubter alike. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
Jay Bakker explores the radical, transformative, and inclusive message at the heart of Jesus's message: grace.If anyone ever had a reason to leave the faith, Jay Bakker did. The son of mega-televangelists Jim Bakker and the late Tammy Faye Messner, Bakker was only 11 years old when his parents' PTL ministry was caught in a high-profile accounting fraud scandal, and his family was devastated by his father's affair and his parents' subsequent divorce. A disillusioned Bakker turned to drugs and alcohol and left his childhood beliefs behind. But along the way, an interesting thing happened: Bakker came to understand, through all his pain, what God's grace was really all about. FALL TO GRACE re-envisions the true nature of grace and what it means in everyday life. With disarming humility, poignant observations, and spot-on theology, Bakker challenges Christians to reassess their understanding of salvation and invites non-believers to see Jesus with fresh eyes.

1. Seemed somewhat antinomian and dismissive of the Old Testament
2. His hermeneutic of scripture, especially as it it relates to LBGT people needs further unpacking
3. He repeats the common preacher error that 'Abba' means daddy which is not warranted by what we know of its Aramaic usage.
On the other hand, I appreciate his unfolding of his own story, and the struggles of others to come to terms with the fact that they are loved by God without having to do anything. Parts of Jay's story are quite compelling.
