“Simply defined, the ‘grace effect’ is an observable phenomenon—that life is demonstrably better where authentic Christianity flourishes.”
What does Christianity give us beyond televangelists, potlucks, and bad basketball leagues? Not much, according to the secular Left. The world, they say, would be a better place without it.
Through the narrative of Sasha’s redemption, we see the false promises of socialism; the soul-destroying influence of unbelief; and how a society cultivates its own demise when it rejects the ultimate source ofgrace. We see, in short, the kind of world the atheists would give us: a world without Christianity—cold, pitiless, and graceless.
And yet, as Sasha shows us, it is a world that is not beyond the healing power of “the grace effect.” Occasionally infuriating, often amusing, but always inspiring, The Grace Effect will have you cheering for the courageous little girl who shamed the academic elitists of our day.
The Grace Effect is excellent! It’s hard to imagine living in a grace free world. But that is how people around the world live.
In a study reference on page 34, Christians are the most charitable segment of the population. The same study found that the average evangelical gives almost ten times as much money to nonprofits as the average atheist. That statistic speaks volumes about what a world without Christianity would be like.
Atheists around the world are trying to create a society free from religious influence. It just doesn’t work. One can just look around at countries with little to no Christian influence to see that. In most cases, it’s the children who suffer the most. Children, the handicapped and the elderly take the brunt of a graceless society.
In The Grace Effect, we see how one family has made a difference in a little girls life. More than made a difference, her life was transformed. From graceless to filled with God’s abundant grace.
The Grace Effect is a must read book!
I love, love, love to read and I have several friends who have adopted, so this sounds like a great read!
I would really love to read this book. I am a pastor’s daughter who is dealing with a lot of people who have gotten too “smart” for Christianity. I deal with rude people all the time, and it tests my faith. I would love to have something encouraging to read to help me validate my beliefs and help someone else who may be struggling with pain caused by bad experiences with the church. Thank you for the chance.

I would like to read this book, because it’s interesting to me. Christians who have been shown the grace of God should naturally show grace to others as they are becoming more Christ-like.
What a great review! This book would be a treasured addition to our family library and sounds like just what we need for a situation heavy on our family’s heart….God is good to put just what we need in our lives when we need it! Thank you and God Bless!
