Epic Grace describes the life experiences of pastor and author Kurt Bubna. In this well-written account, he animates his experiences and reveals Gods elegant interventions. I was captivated by his life stories and left immersed in the splendor of Gods amazing grace.

A cascade of words rushes to my mind when I think of this book: funny, observant, insightful, genuine. I found myself smiling a lot while reading it; it was a knowing smile, for Kurts story is my story and your story too; it is a story of how Gods strength is made perfect in our weakness.

I love the way Kurt Bubna loves his readers, shepherding them through the grace of God in difficult, pressing times. He has effectively translated his own trials so he can come alongside all of us in our quest for Gods outrageous grace. Full of stories, depth, and affection, Bubna leads us to a life of possibilities.

Grace the positive, loving, and forgiving action of God is talked about in the Bible only because human beings experienced its stunning effect on their lives and wrote about it. Epic Grace guides us to this living water and shows us how to drink deeply. All of us who occasionally mess up in life can learn from it.

TODD HUNTER

Epic Grace is genuine Christianity. In this gift of the soul, Kurt Bubna invites guilt-ridden prodigals and guilt-tripper Pharisees to experience the crazy grace of God in Jesus. Such grace consumes the idiotic moves weve all made and puts us back on course to live life to the fullest before God. I encourage my fellow prodigals and Pharisees alike to read this book and journey home.

Kurt Bubna dives off the pedestal of sainthood we tend to put Christian leaders on and bares all. With an edgy wit and achingly raw, personal transparency rarely found in pulpit people, Kurt bravely chronicles how epic grace has transformed his life, his marriage, and his relationships, throwing a life jacket of hope to fellow recovering idiots like me.

I love this book! Epic Grace is funny, honest, gritty, and helpful. Kurt reminds us that Gods grace overcomes our weakness and stupidity, and makes something beautiful of our lives. His stories and the lessons he learned are grace gems; they will leave you laughing and loving God... and better for having read them.

Epic Grace is the story of a life well lived... imperfectly receiving Gods perfect grace. Kurts disarming transparency is an inspiration to confess and own our shortcomings and live in the realm of Gods unmerited favor. I am so glad to have gotten hold of this book and am so grateful that Gods grace got hold of me.

MIKE MEEKS

Kurt Bubna is an inspired pastor who writes the way he leads and lives: with authenticity, transparency, and grace. Epic Grace is epic because it is the story of us all. It is the story of how Gods grace can transform any weakness into strength. Read it, and you will receive it Gods epic grace.

KIP JACOB

Pastor, SouthLake Church, Portland, OR

Im drawn to Epic Grace because of its no-frills approach to real-life issues of faith, struggle, and perseverance. Kurt Bubna peels back the layers of his own humanity, and his heart is exposed in the process. Epic Grace is a book for everyday people like you and me, craving to know more about God. I loved it.

I laughed, cried, and fist-pumped my way through this wonderful book. Be careful, though. Epic Grace is the kind of book that will force you into the light. Kurts self-effacing honesty is contagious and inspiring.

JEFF KENNEDY

Pastor of discipleship, Eastpoint Church, Spokane, WA

Refreshing, honest, and uplifting. Thank God this self-proclaimed recovering idiot walked the path God intended him to walk. This world can use another grace warrior!

STEPHANIE VIGIL

Kurt has done a masterful job of expounding on grace and exemplifying it through real stories starting with his own. After reading Epic Grace, not only do I feel the need to magnify and share the grace of God more than ever, I also feel more empowered to share my own story with the confidence that real, epic grace is life-changing for those who receive it.

BRANDON COX

Planting pastor, Grace Hills Church, Bentonville, AR; editor of pastors.com

Let me give it to you straight, like Kurt does. I like this book. Why? Because in reading it, I find perspective, comfort, and the grace to go on. Epic Grace is a good book to help you keep growing, because Kurt is obviously a man who has chosen to keep growing.

MARTY BERGLUND

In a world that fancies mixed images of God, Kurt Bubna describes a heavenly Father of heroic goodness. Despite his own failures, Kurt encounters demonstrations of grace so grand that God pays him in returns of startling kindness. His stories stage a drama of warmly inviting reasons for acquainting ourselves with the splendor of Gods grace.

NIKI ANDERSON

Speaker, and author of four award-winning books

Kurt Bubna offers an incredibly honest, humble, and practical look at Gods love and what God will graciously do as we learn to entrust ourselves fully to his faithful care, provision, and direction. There was so much with which I could personally relate. Most of all, I felt profound encouragement and gratitude for Christs unqualified love for us and Kurts compassionate way of pointing us to the only one who can guide us into life as it was always meant to be.

DR. JIM CORDELL

Counselor, Spokane, WA

Epic Grace is for anyone who struggles with knowing Gods love. It is for the person who has warmed the pews for years, as well as for those who may not yet know who God really is. Kurt Bubna looks at life with refreshing authenticity mistakes and all and we see how the grace that follows after us is so complete... so perfect... so epic.
