Overview
āI donāt know how to say what the grace of God is. What I can say is what itās like for me.āĀ
We all know about grace being amazingāafter all, thereās a whole song about itābut Patrick Henry reminds us that thatās not all it is. Itās also intimidating, disorienting, demanding, reassuring, and sometimes even just downright mind-boggling. Describing thirty-three different aspects of grace based on his everyday experiences, Henry tells the story of a grace that is wide-ranging and comprehensiveāif not always comprehensible. Rather than trying to capture and tame his encounters with God, he lets the mystery of memory speak for itself, exemplifying his mantra that being a Christian is about being āan explorer, not a colonizer.āĀ
Flashes of GraceĀ is wise and grounded, earnest and light, faithful and quirky. Henry describes encountering grace in airports, baseball,Ā hazelnuts, and just about anywhere else you can imagine, while engaging with dialogue partners ranging from King Saul and Saint Augustine to Yogi Berra and Captain Picard. For anyone longing to connect (or reconnect) with God, this book provides a surprisingĀ journey that broadensĀ perspectives and explores strange new worlds, while loosening stiff spiritual joints so movement can be free and spontaneous.
