Ellen says... 

Wild Grace is an impactful adaptation of Max Lucado's book Grace, for teens. All of Max's basic points are taken, and then made appropriate for a teen's comprehension level. He gives great examples of real-life teens, struggling with understanding God's grace in their lives. Max pairs these stories with scripture, and thought-provoking questions which allow for the reader to journal their own personal story. Wild Grace is brilliantly done, and explains God's grace to a teen audience in Max's unique voice.


About the resource...
Max Lucado

Bestselling author Max Lucado explains that if teens let God’s grace change them, shape them, and strengthen them, their lives will never be the same.

Today’s teens are being shaped by the pressures and disappointments of the world. But Max Lucado encourages them to take a close look at what can shape their hearts and their futures from the inside out—God’s grace. 

As Max explains, "God’s grace has a drenching about it. A wildness about it. A whitewater, riptide, turn-you-upside-downness about it. Grace comes after you." Wild Grace gives teens an understanding of how grace can change their lives in powerful ways, even when those lives are messed up, off track, or in trouble. 

Each chapter describes another miracle that happens when we allow God’s grace to work on us and through us:

“Grace is God’s decision to change everything. Good-bye, earthly labels. Stupid. Unpopular. Ugly. Failure. No longer. You aren’t who they say you are. You are who He says you are. Spiritually alive. Connected to God. Amazing.”

Teens will be convinced that God knew what He was doing when He made them and His grace is always there, ready to work wonders that are bigger than anything this world has to offer.
