What’s So Amazing About Grace Grace is the church's great distinctive. It's the one thing the world cannot duplicate, and the one thing it craves above all else, for only grace can bring hope and transformation to a jaded world. Philip Yancey offers compelling, true portraits of grace's life-changing power. He searches for its presence in his own life and in the church. He challenges us to become living answers to a world that desperately wants to know What's So Amazing About Grace? Facilitator: TBA
