Contents:

The debate begins First steps Reality check Atheists don't do benevolence Show me the money Haves and have-nots The Devil is a bureaucrat A brief (and mostly true) history of religion in Ukraine Imagine there's no heaven: atheists in charge of the twentieth century The orphanage archipelago What have we become? Life is cheap The purchase of a soul Mountains to climb Free at last The importance of identity Out of the mouths of babes "Regarding Sasha . . ." May Day Sasha's new beginning Is America safe?

Summary: What does Christianity give us beyond televangelists, potlucks, and bad basketball leagues? Not much, according to the secular Left. The world, they say, would be a better place without it. Historian and Christian apologist Larry Alex Taunton has spent much of his career refuting just this sort of thinking, but when he encounters Sasha, a golden-haired Ukranian orphan girl whose life has been shaped by atheistic theorists, he discovers an unlikely champion for the transforming power of grace. Through the narrative of Sasha's redemption, we see the false promises of socialism; the soul-destroying influence of unbelief; and how a society cultivates its own demise when it rejects the ultimate source of grace. We see, in short, the kind of world the atheists would give us: a world without Christianity-cold, pitiless, and graceless. And yet, as Sasha shows us, it is a world that is not beyond the healing power of "the grace effect." Occasionally infuriating, often amusing, but always inspiring, The Grace Effect will have you cheering for the courageous little girl who shamed the academic elitists of our day. ~ Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Grace-Effect-Reverse-Corruption-Unbelief/dp/1595554408/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=9781595554406&qid=1623079548&sr=8-1
