Uncommon Graces: Christlike Responses to a Hostile World

The world we live in today is hostile. From road rage to unkind words, our society suffers from a lack of grace. It doesn't have to be that way, writes John Vawter. Uncommon Graces examines character traits and attitudes that bring dignity to human relationships, injecting grace into the dehumanized society in which we find ourselves. If you want to treat people with kindness and dignity, Uncommon Graces will encourage and equip you to show grace to a hostile world.

"There are only a few authors who have the skill to recount their experiences in a way that allows the reader to join the adventure and not just be a bystander. Like Gordon MacDonald and Philip Yancey, John Vawter takes what is common to us all and turns it into an uncommon gift of insight and wisdom."-Fred Smith, Jr., president, The Fourth Partner Foundation

"In his excellent book, John Vawter reminds believers of our biblical heritage-a standard of commitment to Christ and the Holy Spirit, which if practiced could result in a mighty spiritual harvest for the glory of God."-Dr. Bill Bright, founder and president, Campus Crusade for Christ International

"John Vawter personifies grace for the countless people like me whose lives he has touched. As a member of Congress in a hostile arena during a hostile era, I find Uncommon Graces comes at an opportune time and probes a fundamental aspect of Christianity often overlooked."-Jim Ramstad, congressman, 3rd district, Minnesota
