I’m so excited about my friend Mike Foster’s new book Gracenomics. I spent some time this weekend reading through it and over and over it reminded me of the man I desperately want to be. A man with a ministry that is described as exhibiting unexpected, excessive, and scandalous amounts of grace.
I love what Mike wrote in the book describing the People of the Second Chance movement:
Together we’re setting out to be the first in line to forgive.
We’re racing to release grudges.
We’re making room for those on life’s margins.
We’re raising our voices for the vulnerable.
We’re accepting the unacceptable.
We’re becoming the Red Cross relief team for the disasters in people’s personal lives.
We’re setting out to be the living, breathing PEZ dispenser of grace for our world.
Click our heads back and out pops forgiveness for our enemies. Pop us again you get healing words for the wounded. Click us once more to score friendship through devastating pain. Pop it back again and again and the response will always be a sweet delectable second chance. We are grace dispensers who practice second chance living.
Reading through this book I was reminded of just how much I love the idea of grace until it inconveniences me or gets in the way of my agenda. I have a lot more work to do in this area than I thought.
Do yourself a favor and pick up this book.

What do you think holds you back from exhibiting grace like you should?
