Publisher Description

Grace or truth…or both? Truth without grace breeds self-righteousness and crushing legalism. Grace without truth breeds deception and moral compromise. Is it possible to embrace both in balance? Jesus did. Randy Alcorn offers a simple yet profound two-point checklist of Christlikeness. “In the end,” says Alcorn, “we don’t need grace or truth. We need grace and truth. And for people to see Jesus in us, they must see both.”

"Amazing book weighing the difference between, and tension between, grace and truth. Love the description of grace and truth being on the opposite ends of a wire stretched with tension. Draws attention to the need for a balanced approach in Christian life and practice."
