      Praise for Grace Is Greater

      Kyle Idleman is never boring. He never lulls. Just the opposite. Kyle always stirs, excites, and challenges. By the end of this book you will see grace in a new light; you will see your loving God in a new light. Read it and be encouraged.

      Max Lucado, author of GRACE and In the Grip of Grace

      Grace is my favorite topic, and Kyle Idleman’s new book breathes fresh life into it through engaging stories and winsome insights. Nothing is greater than grace. Celebrate it, live it, share it!

      Lee Strobel, award-winning author of The Case for Grace

      "Kyle Idleman is a remarkable writer. As he opens his heart and God’s Word, he shares stories that are both moving and meaningful and confesses his own weaknesses with stunning transparency. He also has a wry sense of humor, which enhances and never detracts from the important lessons he offers. Grace Is Greater is practical and inspirational, providing a clear path to freedom through God’s amazing gift of grace. I loved it!"

      Liz Curtis Higgs, bestselling author of Bad Girls of the Bible

      "As a follower of Jesus, I can’t help but being a fan of Kyle Idleman. He seems to eat, sleep, and breathe a passion for heart-connection with God. That kind of a relationship can’t happen when we confine God’s grace to the work he did to save us. It happens when we allow his grace to permeate the messiest parts of our lives and ultimately become the defining feature of how we treat others. Kyle’s book Grace Is Greater is a journey in how to make that happen."

      Dr. Tim Kimmel, author of Grace Based Parenting and Grace Filled Marriage

      "If Kyle Idleman writes something, I read it! I sat down to read Grace Is Greater and couldn’t put it down. His teaching on grace challenged me. The way God is presented comforted me. The words that describe people inspired me! I’m different and better because of this book . . . and you will be too."

      Caleb Kaltenbach, author of Messy Grace

      "When I was sent the manuscript for Grace Is Greater, I thought, Oh no, not another book on grace! I quickly checked my little library and discovered that I already had at least eight books whose titles included the word grace. I asked myself, Do I need another one? But I began to read and was immediately drawn in
