Grounded In Grace

Grounded in Grace: Thirty Days of Christ's Promise for the Weary Conscience is a 30-day devotional for Christians who are tired of measuring their faith by their feelings and progress.Many devotionals turn inward. They assume the problem is effort and the solution is motivation. This book takes a different path. Each day trains you to look outside yourself to where Christ has promised to be found: the living Word, the forgiveness He speaks, and the gifts He gives. The Law tells the truth about sin without softening it. The Gospel tells the truth about Jesus without conditions. The result is not spiritual self-improvement. It is a conscience steadied by Christ's objective promise.Rooted in Lutheran distinctives and written for a broad Christian readership, these thirty days lead you through a steady rhythm of Hear (Verbum), Confess (Law), Receive (Gospel and Gifts), Send (Vocation), Prayer (Oratio), Questions to Ponder (Tentatio), and Notes. You will be returned again and again to the cross, to the comfort of absolution, to the certainty of Baptism, and to the Lord's Supper as Christ's concrete "for you."If you feel weary, accused, numb, or stuck, you do not need a new technique. You need a sure word. This book is built to give you that word, daily, until Christ's sufficiency becomes more convincing than your self-assessment.
