{"product_id":"the-grace-and-truth-paradox-9781590520659","title":"The Grace and Truth Paradox","description":"Christians trying to model their lives after Jesus may find that He gets buried under lists, rules, and formulas. Now bestselling author Randy Alcorn offers a simple two-point checklist for Christlikeness based on John 1:14. The test consists of balancing grace and truth, equally and unapologetically. Grace without truth deceives people, and ceases to be grace. Truth without grace crushes people, and ceases to be truth. Alcorn shows the reader how to show the world Jesus -- offering grace instead of the world's apathy and tolerance, offering truth instead of the world's relativism and deception. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrace or Truth...\u003ci\u003eor Both? \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTruth without grace breeds self-righteousness and crushing legalism. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGrace without truth breeds deception and moral compromise. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIs it possible to embrace both in balance? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eJesus did. \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRandy Alcorn offers a simple yet profound two-point checklist of Christlikeness. \"In the end,\" says Alcorn, \"we don't need grace \u003ci\u003eor\u003c\/i\u003e truth.
