About this audiobook

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."

    Alcorn does a great job giving a concise analysis of how grace and truth work together. This is often a difficult thing for believers to grasp. The beauty of this book is how small and short it is. It would be easy for anyone to dive into because it does not look or read like a theological piece. It does, however, pack punch with its laser-like attention to the issue.

    This is how Grace should be preached! This book has truly been a blessing. I will be listening again.

    Grace and Truth. Jesus was both. A quick concise read (listen).

    Great book! I had never thought about the significance of John 1:14 saying that Christ came "full of grace and truth." He says that if we are not representing both, we are not representing Christ.

    Alcorn looks at balancing truth (which can be harsh) with grace (which can be too gentle). Generally, most Christians fall more to one side or the other of this balance. Some think that telling other folks they are wrong is the most important thing and believe they are doing so in love. Others instead favor showing grace and forgiveness over worrying about what the sin may be. Alcorn attempts to show the proper balance between these two extremes. My main complaint with the book is that it does not consider the proper way to speak or show truth to others. As a silly example, telling someone they should not steal office supplies is unlikely to do any good. Mentioning that I had had an issue with something similar and how I came to understand my error and stop doing so is more likely to be of help. Both may be speaking truth, but one is more likely to do any good. Alcorn’s book is a short one that can easily be read in an hour or two. I would recommend this to Christians trying to understand the proper balance between showing grace and speaking truth to those around them.
