Reckless Grace: The Gift. The Mystery. The Embrace.

by Bill Vanderbush, Brit Eaton, Jack R. Taylor (Foreword by)

Overview

Grace is the ultimate expression of love.

We all know we need grace and forgiveness, but why is it so difficult to extend them to ourselves and others?

In Reckless Grace, Bill Vanderbush and Brit Eaton challenge our understanding of forgiveness with powerful biblical evidence and show us how to step into the fullness of grace, bringing reconciliation and restoration to our relationships using: 

• practical steps and accessible tools to help identify and overcome barriers to grace
• carefully crafted exercises and reflections that explore past and present hurts and work toward healing
• gentle guidance in becoming gospel-centered and releasing grace into a fallen world.

God isn’t reckless, but the way he extends grace defies all reason. We can learn to freely give what we have been freely gifted.

Editorial Reviews

Reckless Grace is a treasure map for anyone struggling with unforgiveness and unresolved relational issues.”
—Kris Vallotton, leader, Bethel Church

I want to applaud Bill’s courageous effort to expound upon the grace of God through this writing. May God use this book as a powerful tool in his hands to raise up a generation that is free from the power of offense, understands their union with God through Christ, and exudes his nature to a world desperate to see authentic faith in action.
—Darren Davis, Founder and Senior Leader, Harbour Church
 
Bill has truly captured the reality of grace, and it will transform your soul to deeper realms of understanding.
—Ryan Bastress, Evangelist
 

“Reckless Grace will challenge your understanding of forgiveness and teach you how to receive and share God’s unconditional love.”
—Ted Dekker, New York Times Bestselling Author

Read Reckless Grace with an open heart, and you’ll never be the same. Bill and Brit reveal what has been hidden in plain sight for ages in a way that will not only challenge what you thought you knew about grace but will also change your life.
—Joel & Lauren Lowry, Lead Pastors, Sozo Church
 
My friend Bill Vanderbush writes from the perspective of someone who has not only educated himself on the topic of grace but has also encountered and fully embraced Jesus, the very source of grace. Reck­less Grace challenges our distorted views of God and changes how we see ourselves and those around us. Reckless Grace is not another exposition of theological principles but an invitation to lay our heads on the bosom of Jesus and hear the heartbeat of our Father’s mag­nanimous intention for us.
—Randall Worley, PhD, Author
