A Fragile Stone

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

Foreword

“[Michael Card's] unabashed love for Peter shines through these pages and permits him to probe the emotional complexity of the man without romance or sentimentality. . . . Card is not a neutral, dispassionate observer when Jesus dismantles Peter's false self of inner agitation, drivenness, bravado and emotional turmoil in order to shape a new creation who will become the unquestioned leader of the apostolic community. A Fragile Stone speaks to wobbly disciples who never seem to get it all together and to naive leaders who think they have. Michael Card has written a lyrical love song about Peter, and personally, I found the melody contagious.”

A Violent Grace

Arts & Literature

“Dietrich Bonhoeffer defined 'cheap grace' as grace without the cross. In these scalding pages, Michael Card touched my heart with the love of Christ crucified and led me to an unprecedented appreciation of undeserved grace.”

History & Biography

Foreword

“Rich Mullins: An Arrow Pointing to Heaven is the most powerful book I have read in the last five years. . . . It is the purest echo of the gospel I have read in a long, long time.”

What's So Amazing About Grace? Revised and Updated

Christian Living

“Philip Yancey is a writer’s writer. His command and precision of language, textured narrative, sentence cadence, depth of insight, graceful style, and disarming self-disclosure make What’s So Amazing About Grace? the crown jewel of all his books. If you read the chapter “Lovesick Father” and do not weep for joy, I suggest you check your pulse, get an electrocardiogram, or make an appointment with your mortician.”
