By Grace Alone

Preaching & Worship

Foreword

“Throughout Harold Ellens's life he has been called professor, doctor, and colonel. Yet, Ellens is never happier than when people call him pastor. He is a man who loves to preach the good news of the Bible, something he clearly articulates as grace which is universal, unconditional, and radical. Yet, for Harold, preaching is not reserved for the pulpit. His students know that God's grace is available to everybody, his patients know that God loves them no matter what, and the soldiers he counsels, straight from the battlefields of Iraq, know that God's grace gets to the very core of their being, and can heal the pain of their souls. However, it is in the traditional setting of a church on Sunday morning where Ellens preaches the message of grace with a craftsmanship honed over sixty years of service as a priest. All of his sermons are written with love and experience, and are always aesthetic, humorous, intelligent, relevant, and life changing. It has been a pleasure to read this book.”

Honest Faith for Our Time

Theology

“Ellens has given us a book full of divine inspiration. I can only view it as a new creation brought about by the work of the Holy Spirit at a profoundly crucial time! It will set people of faith free, as well as bring to faith many others who have felt it incongruous to approach a very present God with an ancient mindset. Reading it has been a very relaxing and spiritual experience. Ellens is to be thanked and congratulated on this remarkable work, which will surely light the fires of intelligent discussion.”

Light from the Other Side

“Having J. Harold Ellens as a friend has been the greatest gift I have ever received in life. He has taught me to 'set my sails to the wind' and rejoice in the many joys and wonders around me. I now know I am not alone, and that I am loved by a divine presence. I am sure you will discover the same thing just reading his book. This book will change your life!”
