About the Book

Dane Ortlund takes us through each of the four gospels (one chapter on each), directing attention to what Christ did and taught, reminding us of His wonderful love. This is done by highlighting what Bryan Chapell calls "high-octane grace...the kind of grace that makes disciples so love the Saviour that they will give their lives for Him". Here is a picture of "defiant grace", attractively and compellingly presented. The open welcome of divine grace that Jesus offered, open to anyone who would simply leave their moral resume at home, is not predictable. It is not safe. It is defiant. In each Gospel, the message and mission of Jesus is deeply surprising: * In Matthew, we see the surprise of disobedient obedience * In Mark, we see the surprise of the king undergoing the fate of a criminal * In Luke, we see the surprise of the insiders becoming outsiders and the outsiders becoming insiders * In John, we see the surprise of the Creator of the universe becoming one of his own creatures Such surprises confound our law-marinated hearts. But the good news that Jesus won with his own blood will not be tamed. This good news is defiant. This book exists to exult in this good news and the scandalous mercy Jesus loves to pour out on needy sinners, on people like you and me.

Review :
'I love the goal of Dane Ortlund's De ant Grace: to ll our heart tanks with "the high-octane grace that takes our conscience by the scru of the neck and breathes new life into us with a pardon so scandalous that we cannot help but be changed". This is the kind of grace that makes disciples so love the Saviour that they will give their lives for his glory.' -- Bryan Chapell 'Dane Ortlund can at-out write. He is a craftsman of prose, and more: he writes with theological discernment and an eye for heart application. To read this book is to have a surprising encounter with the Saviour. Dane walks us through the four Gospels, highlighting Christ's astonishing words and actions - actions never more astonishing than at Calvary. More than anything, as I read these pages I was reminded of the Saviour's stunning love for me and of his de ant grace - grace that is shockingly unmeasured, vast and free.' -- C J Mahaney 'The world wants justice and, truth to tell, the church often wants that too. In this book, Dane Ortlund makes the case from the Gospels that what the church and the world to whom she witnesses needs is grace. Grace is counterintuitive, beyond price and yet totally free. Left to ourselves, we hate it. We see it as demeaning. We regard it as witnessing to our moral corruption and weakness. Yet grace is God's way of salvation as revealed in the acts and sayings of Jesus in the four Gospels. This book is that strangest of things: the heartfelt rebuke which brings so much encouragement, freedom and joy. Well worth reading.' -- Carl R Truman 'Dane Ortlund's De ant Grace is a very helpful guide to a gospel- centred understanding of Christianity. Drawing from material gleaned from all four Gospels, Ortlund presents us with the compelling picture of "de ant grace" - so di erent from the pale and timid imitation of pallid, anaemic religion. Read this book and soak in the gospel of grace!' -- Josh Moody
