Charis: God's Scandalous Grace For Us by Preston Sprinkle is a bible-reexamining inspirational theological contemplation reminding the Gentle Reader that the bible is full of flawed and imperfect and not necessarily good people who nevertheless were accepted and blessed by their God, free courtesy of Christian publisher David C. Cook.

Currently free, probably just for the next couple of days @ B&N (may also drop in the UK after a day or two), Amazon (available to Canadians and in the UK), iTunes (available to Canadians), and also ChristianBook (DRM-Free ePub available to selected countries) & BookShout (available for online reading & app download), and possibly several other stores linked in the publisher's catalogue page.

Description
A Look at Grace from a Most Surprising Perspective – The Old Testament

Grace. We want to domesticate it, calm it down, and stuff it into a blue blazer and a pair of khakis. But biblical grace – or charis – doesn’t like to settle down. Grace is a dangerous topic because the Bible is a dangerous book.

Charis flows from the Preston Sprinkle’s half dozen years teaching the Old Testament to college students. You might think that would produce a book about judgment – but no way. He shows how every character, every event, every single page from the Old Testament bleeds with grace.

Take a journey into Charis - where harlots are hugged, enemies are enjoyed, and really bad people receive really good things from a Creator who stubbornly delights in undelightful people … like us.
