M y friend, Ive got an invitation and a challenge for you that I believe will change your life! A grace revolution is sweeping across the world today and its transforming precious lives, restoring broken marriages, healing the sick, and freeing many from the bondage of legalism. Over the next one hundred days, Id like for you to take the journey of a lifetime with me and explore Gods glorious grace that is tearing down the walls of legalistic Christian religion and bringing a brand-new generation of believers into a deep and intimate relationship with the person of Jesus.
Day after day, my ministry continues to receive amazing stories of real-life people who have been set free to enjoy a loving relationship with their heavenly Father, one without fear, shame, guilt, or condemnation. This liberty has in turn given them the strength and power to rise above their challenges. If you are facing some challenges in your own life, you dont have to get to the end of this book to find the answer. I want you to know from the outset that Jesus is your solution. He is your answer, your hope, your joy, your peace, and your security. When you have Him, you have everything.
The grace revolution is all about bringing Jesus back to the forefront. For too long the Christian faith has been reduced to a list of dos and donts. Thats not why Jesus came. Thats not what Christianity is all about. Jesus did not come to point out our faults. Unfortunately, many of us are consumed with our faults and failings and as a result, are stuck in a vicious cycle of defeat, failure, and frustration.
I believe that as you discover and meditate on Gods glorious grace over the next one hundred days, you will begin to reign supernaturally over everything that has held you back from living a life of victory. Whether its depression, a physical condition, eating disorders, addictions, fears, or overwhelming guilt and condemnation, simply take time to anchor your heart and mind on Gods grace toward you. As you do, I am confident you will start to triumph over every one of these symptoms of oppression and bondage. Your life will be gloriously transformed as you see from Gods own Word how freedom, victory, and power over sin are released when you receive His love, complete forgiveness, and marvelous gifts of righteousness and no condemnation.
My friend, our Lord Jesus came that we might have life and have it more abundantly. He came to save, to redeem, and to reconcile us to God so that whoever believes in Him [Jesus] should not perish but have everlasting life (John 3:16). Thats the gospel right there, wrapped up in the beautiful simplicity called graceeternal life for us paid for by the blood-stained sacrifice at Calvary. The cross is Gods masterpiece. It is also His master plan to save humanity from itself. It is a foolproof plan without pages of complicated caveats that only a trained lawyer can decode. The truth is that uneducated fishermen, hapless harlots, and the poor could understand Him.
So I invite you to set aside fifteen minutes a day to discover what is really on Gods heart for you and what Christ has accomplished for you through His sacrifice on the cross. The more you see the beauty of Jesus and His perfect work in making you forever a beloved, righteous child of God qualified to receive all of the Fathers blessings, the more your life will never be the same! As you start your day expecting the Lord to speak to you in the pages of this book, His words of grace will refresh and reshape your thinking and speaking and put unwavering hope in your heart. And as your heart is enraptured by Gods pure grace, faith will blossom and you will step out of a life of defeat and into a life of complete wholeness and good success!

My friend, grace is not a subject and the grace revolution is not a movement. Grace is a person and His name is Jesus. No matter where you are at or what challenges you face, the positive changes you want to see begin to happen when you know and believe in the person of Jesus and the perfection of His finished work. When your heart and mind are anchored on His grace and the power of His finished work in your life, He will transform you from the inside out. When you personally encounter Him and allow your mind to be renewed with right beliefs about your true identity in Him, you will walk in freedom and live life to the fullest!
