Description

Brueggemann tackles the human tendency toward a mindset of scarcity, challenging readers to view the world through God’s lens of abundance. 

He explores how, time and again, the Bible illustrates God’s abundant grace – not just as forgiveness but as a profound self-giving that confronts the anxiety of “not enough.”

Through powerful scriptural analysis, he unpacks how God’s provision answers our most basic human needs, whether for food, land, or shelter.

Drawing parallels between biblical struggles of exile and survival with our own times, Brueggemann encourages readers to trust deeply in God’s endless provision and to embrace relationships founded in grace.

In the second part of the book, Brueggemann discusses biblical practices of grace, such as keeping Sabbath, bestowing blessings, and fostering reconciliation.

This book is a timely reminder that, as we step into a life of faith and generosity, we are called to actively counter scarcity with the courage to give and to share.

Suitable for both individual and group study, Grace Abounds includes reflective questions to prompt thoughtful discussion and inspire transformation.
