Common Grace: How to be a Person and Other Spiritual Matters - Anthony B. Robinson

This wonderful collection of essays related to faith, relationships, and society overflows with wisdom, grace, and truth. In a world polarized by ultraconservative and ultraliberal versions of faith, Robinson provides a modest alternative. He argues that, in our postChristian society where religious belief is not the norm, "[b]elieving in God, in something holy, in grace, in a power... is no longer the safe choice, it is the risky choice" (8). In short chapters, Robinson offers seasoned wisdom on topics such as suffering, baptism, parenting, marriage, sex, death, pluralism, prophets, and more. Believe me when I say that Robinson can summarize in a few pages what some authors fail to do in entire books. Get this book - you won't be disappointed!
