Opening
the Door to Freedom in Christ
Writing from the fresh perspective of an avowed "guilty soul,"
Sam shares from his life experiences and from the Scriptures what grace
does and does not mean in the Christian's life.
Sam
writes, "For many Guilty Souls, grace is the unclaimed prize. It
has been given, but never truly received. Oh, we believe in grace in the
sense that we know we need it to be saved and that we could never make
it to heaven without it. But in another sense, grace remains dormant.
It is the unopened gift, the blessing not enjoyed. It is accepted only
in theory, but not in practice. It is absent in our emotional life, in
the real world in which we live and move and have our being."
Not
wanting us to stay in our bondage, he helps us understand, accept and
apply grace in practical ways to our everyday life. Once we grasp even
the hem of the garment of God's grace, it softens our hearts. It reasons
with our minds. It empowers our will. It heals our emotions. It leaves
us not merely forgiven, but triumphant. Not merely free, but empowered?empowered
to love, to live, to be happy.
What
are you waiting for? Take off the chains that Jesus died to free you from.
Realize that it is for freedom that Christ set you free!

"I
am so very grateful that I have read Sam Laing's book on grace. Even if
I didn't consider myself to be a Guilty Soul going in, this book has revealed
just how much I allow guilt to paralyze my joy in the Lord.... This book
called out to my heart, 'Be free at last! Release yourself from the misery
of guilt - the ransom has been graciously and joyfully paid! Enjoy each
and every moment which your Father has given you. This is His will for
you in Christ Jesus. Rejoice!'" Elke Turner, Women's Ministry
Leader, Springfield, MO
"Effective and masterful command of the English language makes
this the most eloquent compact guide to grace on the market today....
The wisdom it contains directly embraces the "guilty soul"--the
person tormented by an overactive conscience, self-recrimination, or confusion
about the grace of relationships. That is because, as the author freely
admits, he himself is one such soul. So if you fall into this category,
don't wait! Get the Guide at once." Dr. Douglas Jacoby, Principal
Instructor, Athens Institute of Ministry
